Previously, he was worried that Jiang He, a country bumpkin from Kaiyuan Empire, would be blinded by the beauty of the world. Xu Qing had made a careful plan.
He did not expect that he would become more and more like Cheng Yulan. Every day, she would be excited about discounts and promotions. She even dragged her new friend, Gong Ping, to join the fleecing team.
Maybe one night, he would go square dancing with his friends?
No, no …
When he got older, he might go to the park to teach old men and women how to dance.
Jiang He was cooking in the kitchen. Xu Qing finished a game of Minesweeper. He moved his limbs and practiced swordsmanship. He felt that it would help him improve in all aspects … He was not sure which aspects, but he felt that his whole body had become much better.
Unfortunately, he did not have the System to tell him how much strength, reaction, speed, or whether his swordsmanship was at Beginner, Advanced, or Master level.
It all depended on his own feelings. He tried hard to recall the past and made a rough comparison: Oh, it seemed that his movements were smoother; his reaction speed was a little faster; he should be able to cut off a corner of the stool with one strike …
"Xu Qing!"
Hearing the commotion outside, Jiang He poked his head out to take a look and bellowed.
Why did this idiot cut the stool for no reason?
Xu Qing's brain twitched. He did not know why he had to cut the poor stool.
"Cough … it was a mistake. I will sit on this from now on."
He did not cut off the corner of the stool. An unsharpened sword was not sharp to that extent. There was only a deep mark, and the paint was messed up. It looked very ugly.
"If you cut anything in the house again, I will hit you." Jiang He warned him. He was always thinking of ways to bring back some umbrellas and teacups, but this guy was destroying the house.
There was something wrong with him …
Xu Qing expressed that he understood. He put away his long sword and sat on the sofa to calm down. He turned on his computer and did what he was used to.
Not to mention the livestream, the number of fans of his uploader had increased several times compared to last year. The number of views for each video was not uniform, but overall, it was much better. The upper and lower limits had been improved.
Previously, the number of views for a new video fluctuated between 80,000 to 80,000 within three days. Now, it fluctuated between 40,000 to 180,000, and the proportion of views above 100,000 was very high.
Among them, the one that ridiculed the circling Wuxia had more than three million views. It outshone the others and forcibly pulled up the figures of the other old videos.
However, there were many bullet comments in the new video asking him to continue.
Sure enough, complaining was the best way to attract fans …
Xu Qing sighed, but he wasn't too surprised. In the current environment, venting one's emotions was a password to wealth. As long as one was accurate, ruthless, and sharp, it was easy to gain fans.
With debate, there would be traffic. With traffic, there would be more debates.
It's okay to do sponsored partnerships occasionally, but it's okay to do this kind of thing all the time … Xu Qing closed the comments and opened his private message. There were more business collaborations.
As he read on, he politely rejected some of the game companies' intentions to cooperate with him. His cursor stopped at a shop that sold swords.
The other party said that they were attracted by the armor and wanted to cooperate.
Xu Qing thought about how he looked when he was wearing armor and carrying a sword that day, so he gave him a contact number. Not long after, someone added him.
"Time to eat."
After Jiang He finished cooking, Xu Qing was still looking down at his phone. He only slowly washed his hands after being urged by Jiang He.
Dinner was shredded potatoes with green peppers and stir-fried beef. Both dishes were plentiful.
The shredded potatoes were cut very finely, but they weren't mushy and wouldn't break easily.
"I bought a soft sword. Do you know how to use a soft sword?"
During dinner, Xu Qing asked Jiang He.
Jiang He had always used a long sword. It was the hard kind that couldn't be bent. Using too much force would only break it. That was why it was so heavy and tired that his wrist was sore.
The soft sword he mentioned was more accurately called the Sound Sword. It was usually used for performances. The back of the sword was raised and could be swung at will. The tip of the sword would crackle like a spring.
"No." Jiang He looked at the video on his phone and shook his head decisively.
"I just want to practice my moves. There's no need to use this to kill people." Xu Qing inexplicably knew that she had misunderstood him.
"Practice, practice …"
Jiang He pondered for a moment and looked at the video for a moment. He said uncertainly, "It should be no problem. I just want it to crackle, right?"
"Probably. It has to sound good and look good."
"Do I have to broadcast this?" Jiang He was a little excited.
"Unfortunately, you are a weak girl who can't even truss a chicken. If you want to broadcast this, at least wait until you get your ID card. Now I'm just using it. If you teach me, I can help people make a good advertisement and then make money."
"Oh, I'm a weak girl who can't even truss a chicken." Jiang He nodded and looked up at him with the bowl in her hands.
"The look in your eyes makes me feel uncomfortable." Xu Qing felt that she meant that he couldn't even compare to a chicken.
"It's okay. I won't bully you."
"…"
Xu Qing shook her head and skipped over this topic. She couldn't beat her in a fight anyway. "If this is done well, we should be able to establish a long-term cooperation. Then, we can start a collection of swords and keep all kinds of swords at home … Do you like it?"
"All kinds?"
"Long, short, hard, soft, stainless steel heavy sword, miao sword …"
Xu Qing rambled on and on, making Jiang He's eyes brighter and brighter.
"Really?"
"Really."
Xu Qing was not surprised by Jiang He's performance at all. How could a person who liked violence not like swords …
Next to the bookshelf, there could be a weapon rack specially for all kinds of swords. It seemed pretty good.
"What's a miao sword?" Jiang He felt that the name sounded a little nice.
"A long sword that's 1.5 meters long. It can be used with one or two hands. I think if you use this, you can turn into a killing machine and a battle angel … The sword is about the same height as you."
Xu Qing found a picture of a miao sword on his phone and showed it to her. A long sword that was 1.5 meters long, with a long blade and a long hilt. Not only could it be used with one hand, but it could also be used as a spear to practice spear techniques.
If Jiang He carried it with one hand …
One word, swish.
"I want it." Jiang He pursed her lips and said.
"I've placed an order."
"Really?"
"Don't look so surprised, okay? It's hard. "Xu Qing looked as if he wanted to jump up when he saw her instantly surprised expression …
Jiang He held the bowl and ate a few mouthfuls of rice. He began to look forward to his sword.
Even though he could not use force to kill people, it was still fun to play with it …
"Do you know Heavenly Saber Song Que?"
"Who's that?" Jiang He was a little puzzled.
"He's also an otaku. He likes figurines and collects all kinds of sabers. You're becoming more and more otaku like him, and you even like figurines."
After eating, they went to wash the dishes as usual. The two of them were already used to it, and they looked like an old married couple. When he realized this, Xu Qing did not know whether he should laugh or sigh.
She was so young, but she had already entered middle-aged life, and she was still a pure chick …
Everything was contradictory.
It was not enough … Jiang He had just turned from an ancient bandit into a normal modern person. There was still a long way to go before he could teach her to become a smart modern person.
She did not need to be smart, but at the very least, she needed to be a reasonable and opinionated scholar.
The higher she stood, the more beautiful things she could see. Even though she could also see some unpleasant things, she came from a thousand years ago. If she just lived her life in a muddle-headed manner, Xu Qing would feel that he had failed in his duty, and it would also be her regret.
It was his responsibility and duty to teach an ancient person to see as many beautiful things as possible.
Of course, this did not stop him from making her his wife. There was no conflict between the two.
"Writing two to three thousand poems a day? Is this what it means to be a child prodigy? He's better than Li Bai and Du Fu. "
After eating, Jiang He, who was lying on the sofa like a corpse, played with his phone. He was amazed by the news he saw.
"Use your stupid brain and think about it. Is it possible?" Xu Qing wiped his hands and rubbed them on his clothes. He then touched her calf.
He held it all the way to her small foot and squeezed it. When she was about to kick with her other foot, he turned to the computer to prepare for today's live broadcast.
"Based on two thousand poems, even if she only sleeps four hours a day, she has to write two thousand poems in twenty hours. That's an average of one hundred poems per hour. That's not even one poem per minute. Can you copy it that fast?"
"…"
Jiang He also realized how stupid he was to be fooled by such a thing.
Xu Qing used his finger to draw a circle on his head. "You need to use your brain when you read the news."
"Then why would they do such a clumsy …"
"If you don't study, you don't even know how to brag. If you have some basic knowledge, you won't make such a joke. Or if you have a computer to look at the world … You have to know that some people are really not smart."
Jiang He was stunned. If you don't study, you don't even know how to brag. She didn't study, but she believed the brag of others …
Xu Qing, who didn't hear the reply, looked back. Jiang He had already sat up from the sofa. He was consciously opening his exercise book and doing one lesson and one practice.
[Little Ming went to the river to fetch water. There are four and nine liter buckets. What should he do if he just fetches six liters of water? ]
Jiang He flipped open the book and clenched his fist when he saw Little Ming.
"I think doing math problems is also an insult to my intelligence."
"Why do you say that?"
"He could have filled nine liters to bring back. If he couldn't finish it, he could have just poured it away. Why did this big idiot have to fill six liters? Is there something wrong with him? "
"… Some people are not smart. That's why they need smart people like you to help them solve some very stupid problems."
"…"
"Just take it as helping a mentally retarded child to obtain happiness."
"… Okay."
Jiang He reluctantly accepted this explanation. He comforted himself while helping the mentally retarded Little Ming solve his mental problems.
Yes, Little Ming was mentally retarded. He shouldn't stoop to his level.
"You can rest today. I'll do the livestream myself."
Xu Qing reminded him. Jiang He, who was tired of fighting in the arena every day, seemed to have completed a mission. The main thing was that she didn't have much motivation. Her score was stable at 1600. It was hard to get up and hard to drop. She didn't know if it was luck or if she came online at the wrong time, but she basically didn't meet any famous streamers. No one asked her to stand still and not fight back and give her a set of National Day fashion.
Opening Hearthstone, Xu Qing looked at the main information of this version. There were also some cards that could retreat from the environment. He began to adjust his deck.
Jiang He used Weasel Herder to obtain a lot of happiness in Wild. His rank wasn't high, and he only met entertainment decks. There were all kinds of amazing combinations, so his win rate wasn't too bad.
"You've never opened a card pack before?"
"No."
"I'm an African. You open it," Xu Qing said.
There were a few versions of card packs on it. Including the ones Jiang He had saved up from playing games, there were more than thirty packs.
"Am I European?"
Jiang He walked over slowly and spat on her hands. She already knew what Africans and Europeans were. Even playing DNF and Abyss didn't shine much. She was probably from Africa.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Qing. She felt that this was a chance to change her fate.
"You told me to open it. Don't blame me if I'm unlucky."
Jiang He said it first to give Xu Qing a heads-up.
"Can you be more unlucky than me?" Xu Qing moved away from the throne and watched her play.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva bless me. Gold, gold, gold, gold …"
Jiang He was long-winded, fully showing that she was born and raised in China.
If there was something wrong, Guanyin Bodhisattva bless her. If there was nothing wrong, who would believe that?
"Gold normal!"
"Rare!"
"Rare!"
"Rare!"
"…"
After thirty packs, only a purple appeared.
"That … cough, it's not bad. A purple isn't bad either." Xu Qing looked at the game interface. Logically … alright, it was indeed unlucky.
There was a guarantee in the current version. The first ten packs of every series would have at least one orange. That was why he didn't rush to buy it. He would wait until the series had an orange and buy another series.
Now, he could buy whatever he wanted. After all, these new series only had four or five packs left.
Jiang He sneaked a glance at him and rubbed her hands. "I already said, I don't …"
"Come, open a few more to try."
"I'm not opening anymore. You open it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Xu Qing shrugged. There would definitely be at least two oranges, but this stupid Jiang He gave up.
"Come, open it like this." He pulled Jiang He's hand over and placed it on the mouse. He taught her how to drag the packs into the box.
"There's a magical legend in Hearthstone. If two people are fated, it's easy to get an orange when opening a pack. The test is for two people to open it together, like this."
"I think you're lying to me." Jiang He looked at him touching her hand. She didn't believe a single word he said.
"Moon Lord, bless me. Give me gold …"
Xu Qing's nagging made Jiang He pout. This guy, he's always trying to lie to me …
"Wow, legend!"
？？
Jiang He was stunned.
"Do you believe it?" Xu Qing asked.
"… How could there be such a thing?" Jiang He felt that something was wrong.
"Then I'll open it again. Just watch, Yue Lao, bless me, bless me …"
After changing to a new series, there was still a guarantee of ten packs. The six packs given by the system had already been opened by Jiang He. Xu Qing used gold to buy four packs. He held her hand and opened them.
"Wow, golden legend!"
Another one. It was still golden.
Xu Qing looked at Jiang He. Jiang He also looked at him. Her little head was filled with confusion.
"Ahem, this is fate. But there's a follow-up to this legend. It says that after two people test it, if they want to keep their luck, they need to …"
"You need to do some perverted things, right?" Jiang He interrupted.
"Actually, it's not that perverted. It's just that wearing those long socks …"
"I suggest you shut up now."
Jiang He looked at him as if he was an idiot. His motive was too obvious.
Even a fool could see that something was wrong. Of course, she wasn't stupid.
