Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Uncle Ji, Night Talk

  It was already afternoon when Yunshou woke up.

  He set up a small pot, gutted a few small fish he had at home, discarded the dirt, and then threw the fish in to cook.

  Light the fire, and soon, bubbles will appear in the pot, and a fresh and fragrant smell will spread.

  The fish he put into the pot is also known as Three Fresh Fish. When it boils and bubbles, it smells delicious. A sip of the fish soup is even more delicious. The best thing is the fresh and smooth taste of the fish meat when you put it in your mouth, hence the name Three Fresh Fish.

  You can get more copper coins by selling it to that unscrupulous merchant.

  But since the Yunshou simulator was turned on, he kept a few of the fresh fish from the two catches for himself.

  When there was no simulator, I would just hand in the good fish I caught and make a little more money to live on.

  If I don't enjoy the benefits of having a simulator, then isn't it a waste of time to have it?

  "After eating and drinking, I'll work hard next."

Yunshou practiced a set of "Tianhe River Flowing" energy that penetrated deep into the body and nourished the internal organs.

  Half an hour later, he completed a set of exercises and opened his eyes.

  He said helplessly, "This progress... is almost zero."

  "You have to observe day after day, year after year, taking years as the unit, to see the progress of strengthening your internal organs."

  Yunshou gave up practicing his internal energy, went out, grabbed a branch, and after making sure that there was no one around, he began to practice the martial arts that were also branded into his body.

  Swish, swish, swish!

  His azure energy was like a series of spirit snakes, swung out from the tips of the branches, and whipped out grooves on the ground. The grooves were deep and wide enough to hold a baby's arm.

  Dust flew up, and Yunshou threw a branch at the green tree more than ten steps away. With the help of his strength, the branch penetrated the green tree straight away, leaving a hole as big as a longan.

  "A second-rate warrior is just a bone-crushing monster, capable of shattering an ordinary person's bones with a single slap. A first-rate warrior, relying on his energy, can literally take someone's life with a swift blow."

  Yunshou tried to send out a stream of energy out of thin air without relying on any attachments.

  The energy was light blue in color and as solid as iron when it first left the body, but it quickly dissipated after only five steps. After ten steps, it completely disintegrated, leaving only a slight breeze that swayed the grass and trees.

  "The range is barely ten feet, a little over three meters."

  "As expected of a martial artist, a first-rate warrior is already considered superior. In a big city like Qingcheng, it might not be considered high, but in some smaller cities, it's enough to make the city lord greet him with open arms."

  "But in the world of immortal cultivation, his combat power is probably only at the middle stage of Qi Linking..."

  "Then the question arises." Yunshou couldn't help but think.

  "What level of martial arts master is Zhu Baowen? Is there a Martial King or Martial Emperor above the Grandmaster?"

  "Can a Grandmaster shatter the void and ascend?"

  "That can't be right... No matter how I think about it, it feels like destroying a city wall with a single slap. This combat power is still far from being enough to shatter the void..."

  Or maybe.

  Yunshou looked around and saw that the Qinghu Lake had no clear boundaries, the mountains were stacked one upon another, and the blue sky was covered with rolling clouds.

  "This is just a small, broken island. This world is vast and boundless, so there are giant continents millions or even hundreds of millions of miles long and wide overseas..."

  In the evening, most of Yunshou's neighbors returned from their boat trips.

  The old man Wang who rescued him from falling into the lake was actually only fifty years old, not old at all. It was just that he had been overworked, which made him look as old as if he was in his sixties or seventies.

  "Xiaoshou, I haven't seen you today." Old man Wang greeted.

  "Haha." Yun Shou replied with a smile, "I met a strange guy today. He insisted that I was a martial arts genius and wanted to take me in as his apprentice. Maybe I will soon become a legendary warrior myself."

  Old Man Wang chuckled, clearly unconvinced. "Don't be fooled by this old beggar." He shook his head, a barely perceptible bitterness showing on his face. "Who doesn't want to be a warrior in this world? But we were born to fish, so we can't become one."

  Yunshou didn't continue speaking, time will tell everything.

  I believe that after one or two more simulations, Qinghe Gang leader Xu Ruohai will be crushed by him, and that will be his day to make a name for himself.

  Or maybe he could hold steady for a few days or even ten days, then suddenly display the power of the supreme grandmaster and dominate... Forget it, as for sweeping across Qingcheng or something, he should wait until he knows what level Zhu Baowen is.

  "But I can go somewhere else, after I repay the help of everyone in this fishing village."

  In the evening, Yunshou was invited by Uncle Ji to his home for dinner.

  Ji Shu's original name was Ji Kangnian, he was 31 years old, and his wife was Song Hongyan.

  Both are still fishermen.

  Yunshou had a very good impression of Uncle Ji. In fact, in the entire Qinghe Village, this small fishing village, there were only four or five people he felt good about. Old Man Wang was one of them, and Uncle Ji and his wife were two others. Both of them were people who helped him after he lost his parents.

  Although the others did not take advantage of the situation, they only fulfilled their most basic duties as human beings. Therefore, Yun Shou will not take these people with him when he becomes successful in the future.

  "Yunshou, I may not be able to take good care of you in terms of fishing in the next few years." Ji Kangnian sighed as he put his food into his mouth. Normally, he would tell Yunshou from time to time where the fish gathered.

  This is a typical good person who even feels that he owes others if he cannot help them.

  Yun Shou shook his head repeatedly: "Don't say that, Uncle Ji, you've helped me so much in the past two years, but what happened next?"

  He asked doubtfully.

  Ji Kangnian smiled bitterly and said, "The Qinghe Gang said they wanted to bring in a group of people with stable boat skills to do business with the Shuicao Gang, which is over a hundred miles away on the other side of Qinghu Lake.

  The two gangs said they wanted to jointly establish a shipping organization and selected a number of people, including my husband and I, to be responsible for shipping between the two sides.

  Yunshou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized why Uncle Ji worked part-time as a boatman in the previous two simulations. There was no related sign before, and it turned out that he was forcibly transferred by the gang.

  In the third simulation, he probably relied on his status as an official member of the Qinghe Gang to transfer Ji Kangnian back, or to take good care of him so that his wife Song Hongyan would not have to work part-time as a "boat lady". However, the relevant description of this experience was omitted in the simulation.

  Therefore, their "daughter" Ji Xiaoyu was not mentioned in the simulation from beginning to end. This should not have been omitted. Yunshou has some confidence in himself, and he is not an ungrateful person.

  As for helping this couple, it led to the disappearance of "Ji Xiaoyu", a character he liked very much in the simulation...

  Yunshou had no feelings.

  He had never chosen to inherit his experience and memories. "Ji Xiaoyu" was just a short name that appeared less than ten times in the simulator. Why should we care about the death of a person who had never existed?

  "Luckily, I didn't inherit the memory, otherwise I would be in such a bad state." Yun Shou thought to himself, "Ji Xiaoyu, you haven't even experienced the slightest bit of hardship."

  "Besides, this couple isn't infertile. They can give birth to their own Ji Xiaoyu. If there are still souls in this world, then they would be the same person."
