第四十四章小試牛刀

在聖徒世界裡,王錚在冥想室修行者八度刀鋒訣,在這裡,他的歸一訣完全不起作用,當然歸一訣對他的身體強化是無法抹去的,但要使用更強的力量,還必須使用刀鋒訣,當然冥想也是要花時間的,這讓王錚禁不住又要吐槽一下這裡的無恥.

以王錚歸一訣的功底,修煉起來刀鋒訣也是事半功倍,但很明顯的差別是,兩者修煉的能量穴位有異曲同工之妙,但運行的順序卻有差異.

王錚有時也擔心貿然修煉會不會走火入魔,但聖徒世界卻解決了這個問題,當然它的出發點是壟斷,在這裡的所得和多學都會以儲存水晶卡的形式存在,根本帶不出去.

用屁股想都能猜到,這裡的人想把這些所得帶出去肯定是要付出天價的代價.

In the Saint world, w.a.n.g Zheng practiced 8 Tier Blade Skills in the meditation room. Here, his Primordial Regression Technique was completely ineffective. Of course, the body strengthening was undeniable, but to be capable of using more power, the Blade Skills were still necessary. Of course, even meditation needed time, which made w.a.n.g Zheng resent the shamelessness of the place.

With w.a.n.g Zheng’s foundation of the Primordial Regression Technique, training the Blade Skills went doubly quickly. But a clear difference was that although the energy points the two arts used were similar, but the order of progression was different.

w.a.n.g Zheng was sometimes worried if over-training would consume him, but the Saint world had solved this problem. Of course, its starting point was a monopoly – all the information, as crystal cards, could not be brought out.

It did not require a genius to figure out that if they wanted to bring something out, it would cost a stupendous fortune.

當然即便是這樣,恐怕也阻擋不住這裡人的渴望.

只是幾天的時間,王錚就把刀鋒訣的初段修煉完成,由於他已經完成了基本的測試,只需要把八度刀鋒訣修煉到巔峰,然後參加晉升決鬥就可以了.

唯一讓王錚不爽的就是時間用的太快,他的身家是有的,但真的要算起來,都是概念性的,KING現在根本不產出,處於大量消耗階段,迪達星…未來可能會不錯,可是現在超重力能量礦還根本沒大量開採,就算開採了,也不可能很快的就產出,王錚也沒到去買股份的地步,那也太愚蠢了.

But even so, it would not stop those here from longing.

In just a few days, w.a.n.g Zheng had completed the Basic stage of the Blade Skills. Because he had already pa.s.sed the basic tests, he only needed to master the 8 Tier Blade Skills, and then partic.i.p.ate in the rank-up battle.

The only thing that w.a.n.g Zheng was unsatisfied about was the usage of time. He had money, but on a closer look, much of it was notional. KING was not producing anything, currently in a huge consumer phase. Dida Star… would eventually turn out well, but now the super-gravity energy ore was not being mined in large quant.i.ties. Even when mining started, it would take some time to begin production. w.a.n.g Zheng would not go and buy stocks either, that was just dumb.

嚴小穌和葉紫蘇那裡肯定是沒問題,但OMG在擴張,小福星也開始了擴張的戰略,每一樣都是花錢不菲,而在聖徒世界裡的消耗確實有點驚人了.

王錚就開始琢磨着能不能自力更生,這可是老王家的優良產統,有人的地方就有財,自己老爹就是靠着忽悠養活了三口家,還忽悠到了老賈這樣的人物,保不準老爹把自己忽悠的天命所歸,天上少有地上無雙.

經過這幾天,王錚對聖徒世界也有一定的瞭解,這裡的”治安”非常不好,本身就存在對水晶卡的搶奪,同時由於涉及到大量的財富,別說在聖殿之外,在聖殿內部都經常出現強制決鬥的情況,有的人可能不是很在乎錢,可是人活爲口氣,自己的東西被別人搶了,還要被揍一頓,誰也受不了.

Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu would not be a problem. But OMG was expanding, and Little Lucky Star was venturing out as well. Each was spending money liberally, and the Saint world’s spending was indeed a frightening sum.

w.a.n.g Zheng started to ponder if he could strike out by himself. This was a strength pa.s.sed down in the w.a.n.g family. Where there were people, there was wealth to be had. His own father had depended on conning to feed a family of 3, even snagging up a thing like Old Merchant. Perhaps he had even tricked his own fate. Such people were rare.

In these few days, w.a.n.g Zheng had started to understand the Saint world a little better. The ‘governance’ here was weak. The mechanic of crystal card stealing, as well as the large amount of money in one place, made the sight of a forced duel frequent in the Saint hall itself, let alone outside. Some might not care so much about the value lost, but it was a matter of dignity. To have one’s possession stolen, and be beaten up in the bargain was intolerable.

所以王錚同學感覺自己可以通過伸張爭議環節一下財務壓力,畢竟他是男人,可不想等愛娜和林迴音來了出糗.

逛遊了半個多小時,感謝上帝,終於被發現需要拯救的人了.

像這種六個帶着面具圍住一個人的情況,用屁股想都知道有人送財來了.

被圍住的人倒是沒帶面具,看樣子年紀也不大,畏畏縮縮的被人推來推去.

“小子,交保護費的時間到了!”

“幾位大哥,這個,我真的沒剩多少了,不能給你們.”

Therefore, w.a.n.g Zheng felt like he could use these to his advantage and relieve his financial stress. After all, he was a man, and could not look bad in front of Aina and Lin Huiyin.

After roaming for half an hour, thank G.o.d he finally met somebody in distress.

6 masked people were surrounding 1 person. Of course they were here to deliver the goods.

The surrounded person was not wearing a mask, and looked young. Surrounded, he was pushed around.

“Punk, it’s time to pay the protection fee!”

“Please, brothers, I don’t have much left, I can’t pay it.”

啪~~~

其中一個狼頭面具的人一耳光就甩了過去,打了小個子一個趔趄.

“少雞巴廢話,十個小時,少一分鐘都不行,得罪我們貪狼會,以後你就別想在門徒層混,快點!”

“幾位大哥,我真的很需要這些時間,我要…”

對方一腳就踹了過去,”要你媽啊,非要老子強制決鬥嗎,我們六個人每人發動一次,你連褲子都剩不下!”

PAH!

One of the men wearing a wolf-head mask delivered a sound slap, knocking the boy for a spin.

“Less of your nonsense! 10 hours, and not a minute less. If you offend the Hungry Wolves, forget about continuing anywhere near the Disciple tier. Quickly!”

“Please, brothers. I really need this time, I…”

The other guy delivered a cruel kick. “I… f.u.c.k off. Do you really want us to force a duel? If each of us activates a duel, you won’t even be able to afford pants!”

年輕人氣得渾身戰慄,但竟然不敢反抗,在聖殿範圍內發出強制決鬥,第一次的價格並不貴,一天的次數越多價格就越高,第二天清零.

王錚大樂,果然有人的地方就有黑社會,懲惡揚善的時候到了.

“喂,你們幾個,交保護費的時間到了!”王錚的生意突兀的響起.

六個人幾乎齊齊的轉身,都是狼性面具,但是反映的表情還是有差別,但幾乎都表現的相當兇惡.

The young man was quivering with rage, but scared of retaliating. Forcing a duel within the Saint hall for the first time was not expensive. The more one fought in a day, the higher the price, resetting each day.

w.a.n.g Zheng was overjoyed. As expected a gang always existed where there were people. It was time to fight off the baddies.

“Oi, you lot! It’s time to pay the protection fee!” w.a.n.g Zheng shouted.

All 6 turned in unison. They all wore wolf-type masks, but the expressions were different, although each was suitably fearsome.

“小兔崽子,你找死啊,…新人,很好,自己送上門來了,先交五十個小時的入門費.”爲首的一個貪狼逼近王錚,身手就想抓王錚的衣領,但王錚猛然一個突進,瞬間成了面具碰面具的距離,反而被對方嚇了一跳.

被踹到在地的人站了起來,名字叫做”樹”,連忙拉住王錚,”幾位大哥,這是我朋友,不懂規矩,五十個小時也太多了,十個,按照常規不都是十個嗎?”

“滾一邊去,老子說話哪兒有你插嘴的份兒,老子看這傢伙不順眼,黑炭,黑你媽,五十個小時,少一分鐘,老子見你一次扁你一次!”

王錚拉開樹,手一伸,五張善良的紫色水晶卡就出現了,”是嗎,那就看你們有沒有本事了.”

“Little punk, are you asking for death? A newbie, very good. Since you’ve delivered yourself to the door, it’s a first time entry fee of 50 hours.” The foremost Hungry Wolf closed in on w.a.n.g Zheng, wanting to grab him by the collar. But w.a.n.g Zheng advanced suddenly, turning it into a mask-against-mask situation, unnerving his opponent.

The guy kicked to the floor was called “Tree”. He hurriedly held w.a.n.g Zheng back. “Brothers, please. This is my friend who does not know the rules. 50 hours is too much. 10? The normal rate is 10, isn’t it?”

“f.u.c.k off. How dare you interrupt when I’m speaking! I don’t like the look of this guy. Charcoal, char your a.s.s! 50 hours, and I’ll beat you for each minute less.”

w.a.n.g Zheng shrugged free of Tree. He extended his hand, displaying 5 purple crystal cards. “Is it? That depends on your ability, though.”

說完又收了起來,六人對視一眼,立刻把王錚圍了起來,至於一旁的樹就沒人搭理了.

王錚還沒反應,眼前光芒四射,瞬間進入了角鬥場,只不過他被是六個人圍住的,樹則被嚇的臉色蒼白,手足無措.

團隊決鬥卡!

俗稱羣毆卡.

“小子,天堂有路你不走,哥幾個今天要發財了!”六個貪狼的眼睛都是閃着綠光了.

Saying that, he kept the cards. All 6 stared, and immediately surrounded w.a.n.g Zheng. Tree, at one side, was ignored.

w.a.n.g Zheng had not reacted. In front of him, light poured, and he was transported into a duel arena. He was surrounded by 6 guys, and Tree’s face was ashen, helpless.

Team duel card!

Also known as the group beating card.

“Punk, we gave you an easy way out, but you didn’t take it. We’re gonna be rich now!” All 6 Hungry Wolves’ eyes were gleaming with greed.

羣毆卡的價格不菲,除非遇到超級肥羊,眼前就是!

“老大,我先來砰砰運氣!”

被擊敗一次,勝利者就可以抽走一張卡片,其中一個迫不及待了.

一張刀鋒訣的卡出現,瞬間化成繽紛光點進入體內,一聲暴喝衝向王錚.

王錚也衝了上去,轟…

王錚被打的咧咧齊齊一屁股蹲在地上.

A group beating card was not cheap, unless one met an unbearably fat prize. Like this one!

“Boss, I’ll go test the waters!”

After a victory, the winner could choose a card. One of them could wait no more.

A Blade Skill card appeared, and his body was infused with light. With a wild cry, he rushed w.a.n.g Zheng.

w.a.n.g Zheng rushed up as well. BOOM…

w.a.n.g Zheng had been handed his a.s.s, left on the floor.

這麼多年還是第一次,他奶奶的,這有沒有功法的差別還是挺大的.

樹的臉色更蒼白了,他知道這個黑炭是好意,但是真正辦了壞事,他不來,頂多被這個幾人揍一頓也就完了,可是這下慘了,而他的領悟是不能給別人的,就算死也不能給!

王錚還有點不服氣,又衝了上去,正面硬碰,轟…

其他五個貪狼本來多少還有點擔心對方是高手,但現在看,完全就是個剛入門急着裝逼的菜鳥.

It was the first time in many years. f.u.c.k, here the difference between having an art and not was indeed big.

Tree’s face had lost the last vestiges of color. He knew that this Charcoal was well-meaning, but he had really gone and done it now. If he had not come, at most Tree would have taken a beating. But now this was worse. Besides, he could not give others his understanding. He would die before he let that happen!

w.a.n.g Zheng was not satisfied. He rushed up again, in a head-on confrontation. BOOM…

The other 5 Hungry Wolves had been a little worried that their opponent was an expert. But seeing the situation unfold, it looked like it was just an over-anxious newbie.

王錚從地上爬了起來,知道不適用刀鋒訣是不行了,拿出了自己的刀鋒訣卡片.

一看到王錚刀鋒訣水晶卡的顏色,六個人都禁不住大笑,”見腦子有病的,沒見過這種神經病,初段刀鋒訣竟然就敢學人當黑社會.”

“小子,你這麼叼,你家裡人知道嗎,今兒哥幾個就好好教你怎麼做人!”

這六個人都是刀鋒訣的高段,八度刀鋒訣分爲初段,中段,高段,到了高段就可以參加晉升決鬥,直到成功.

w.a.n.g Zheng picked himself up from the ground. He knew that if he did not use the Blade Skills he would not win, so he took out his own Blade Skills card.

Seeing w.a.n.g Zheng’s Blade Skills card’s color, all 6 laughed loudly. “Clearly sick in the brain, although I haven’t seen this brand of madness before. A basic stage Blade Skills actually dares to try his hand at being a mafia?”

“Punk, does your family know you’re so cool? Let us teach you a lesson today!”

All 6 were Advanced Stage Blade Skills. 8 Tier Blade Skills was divided into Basic Stage, Intermediate Stage, Advanced Stage. Once Advanced Stage was reached, one could partic.i.p.ate in the rank-up battles until one succeeded.

一般來說,在門徒層,沒到高段的人,都要夾着尾巴做人,這小子倒好,拿了個初段卡,就開始逞英雄.

刀鋒訣入體,瞬間運轉了一個周天,噌…

王錚的身形消失了,來到對手的面前,對方的手剛剛擡起來,王錚一個橫肘就過去,直接點在咽喉處.

砰…

爆裂.

Normally in the Disciple level, those not at Advanced Stage moved with their tail between their legs. This punk had guts though. Trying to be a hero with only a Basic Stage card.

The Blade Skill entered him, and suddenly things changed. Whoosh…

w.a.n.g Zheng’s figure disappeared, reappearing in front of his opponent. The opponent had just raised a hadn in response, when w.a.n.g Zheng’s elbow scythed out, connecting directly at his throat.

PING…

Exploded.

一個貪狼的身體爆裂,化成光點碎片消散在決鬥場,而王錚的賬戶上卻多了十八個小時,還有幾張卡片,王錚樂了,他終於發現了最有前途的職業.

其他五個人這才反應過來,幾乎一擁而上,王錚哪兒還客氣,整個人像魚一樣在五個人中間穿行,隨手一擊就會有人化成碎片消散.

只是一會兒的時間,決鬥場就安靜了,就剩下王錚和樹,而兩個人被隨機平分了戰利品.

角鬥場消散,兩人依然處於聖殿之中.

One of the Hungry Wolves’ bodies exploded into light fragments dissipating on the battlefield, and w.a.n.g Zheng’s account gained another 18 hours and a few cards. w.a.n.g Zheng celebrated. He had finally found the most lucrative job.

The other 5 only responded then. They rushed up as one. w.a.n.g Zheng showed no quarter. He slipped like a fish through them, throwing blows that exploded them into fragments.

After a short while, the battlefield was empty, leaving just w.a.n.g Zheng and Tree. Both had been allocated the spoils equally.

After the battlefield faded, the two were still in Saint hall.

樹望着一臉開心的王錚已經驚呆了,這…到底是人是鬼???

他在聖徒世界幾年了,從沒聽說有初段刀鋒訣能戰勝高段刀鋒訣的,還以一敵六???

最終的戰利品讓王錚有點無語,”靠,一羣窮鬼,竟然還學人收保護費!”

本來出來做這種事兒的,都不會帶太多的東西,幾張卡片也都是很垃圾的,根本賣不上幾個錢.

Tree stared at a beaming w.a.n.g Zheng blankly. This… was a devil???

He had been in Saint for a few years, but had never heard of a Basic Stage Blade Skills defeating an Advanced Stage Blade Skills. Furthermore, a 1 v 6???

The final spoils left w.a.n.g Zheng speechless. “d.a.m.n, a bunch of poor sc.u.m. Still trying to collect protection fees?!”

Clearly those that ventured out to do such things would not bring all their valuables with them. The few cards he got were trash, and not worth much at all.

“大…大哥,我這裡還有一半,還給你.”樹打了一個寒戰,這人好猛.

王錚擺擺手,”算了,見面分一半,再說沒你我也找不到這麼好的買賣,下次被人打劫的時候記得通知我.”

樹呆了…

“黑哥,你很缺錢嗎?”樹忽然問道.

“當然,我可不是土豪,看你樣子也差不多,難道還能支援我?”王錚笑道.

“Big… big brother, I still have half here. I’ll return it to you.” Tree was shaking with fear now. This person was scary.

w.a.n.g Zheng waved it off. “Forget it, we’ll split it. Besides, I wouldn’t have found such a good deal without you. If you get beaten up next time, let me know.”

Tree was stunned…

“Brother Charcoal, are you in need of money?” Tree suddenly asked.

“Of course. I’m no tyc.o.o.n. From the looks of you, you’re in the same boat, aren’t you? Could it be that you’re going to sponsor me?” w.a.n.g Zheng joked.

這人也真是的,被人欺負成那樣也忍得住,打不過就跑不就完了.

“黑哥,我看你身手不凡,有挑戰賽,你爲什麼不試試,獎勵是一百個小時,以及隨機十六度功法卡!”樹說道,這個帶着黑鐵面具的人好奇怪.

按理說,凡是有這樣實力的人都不可能混的像他這麼落魄.

“哈哈,還有這種好事兒,來,帶我去!”一聽到一百個小時,王錚眼睛都紅了.

This one was something different also. To hold on despite being bullied. Since he couldn’t beat them, he could have just run and be done with it.

“Brother Charcoal, I see you’re a man of uncommon means. There are challenge compet.i.tions. Why don’t you try your hand? The prize is 100 hours, and a random 16-tier Martial Arts card!” Tree said. This black-metal-masked man was strange.

Logically, those with such ability were not broke,

“Haha, there’s such a thing? Come, bring me!” Hearing 100 hours, w.a.n.g Zheng’s eyes glowed.

王錚這才知道,自己身上的工具欄實在太少了,門徒層每個月都有各種極限挑戰,這是獲得時間和功法的最好機會,尤其適合那些天賦極強,但鈔票方面又不是很方便的.

王錚和樹來的地方人山人海,試煉聖殿.

但凡有點自信有點實力的人,都一定會來這裡試試,憑藉八度刀鋒訣是不可能晉升到信徒層的.

今天開放的試煉是——刀山試煉.

w.a.n.g Zheng then found out that his own tool panel was too spa.r.s.e. Each month, the Disciple level held some limit challenges. This was the best way to get time and martial arts, especially for those who were unbelievably strong, yet inconvenienced in coin.

The place that w.a.n.g Zheng and Tree arrived in was crowded. The training Saint hall.

Anybody with a little confidence and ability would come to try their hand here. The 8 Tier Blade Skills alone would not allow one to rise to the Acolyte level.

Today’s challenge was – Knife Mountain Trial.
