Ergou is, after all, a strong sixteen-year-old boy with plenty of physical strength.
After this guy took two bowls of medicine and sweated profusely, his fever actually subsided.
Ergou's family was overjoyed, and the pharmacist, Old Man Luo, also had some free time, so he quickly prepared the medicine for Zhou Yuan.
"Shi Tou, although this medicine is a tonic, you can't take too much. Be careful. You should know that medicine is three-quarters poisonous."
"Don't worry, Uncle Luo. I'll handle the emergency. If I really want to take it regularly, I'll have to find some expensive tonics."
"Look at you! Expensive tonics are worth more than you. How can you afford ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and Polygonum multiflorum?"
After Old Man Luo took out twelve copper coins from Zhou Yuan's hand, he explained how to boil the herbs.
Zhou Yuan relied on his attribute panel and boldly experimented, and the medicine worked.
Old Man Luo, a fellow villager, was not the kind of person who would lie. After Zhou Yuan drank a bowl of bitter medicinal soup, his health bar did change.
However, at the beginning, the health bar did not increase, but decreased.
After the health value dropped by 2%, it increased by 4%. In actual terms, a bowl of medicine only restored 2% of the health value.
Zhou Yuan watched his health bar drop from 92% to 90%, and then rise to 94%, and suddenly understood the meaning of being too weak to be replenished.
It's only because he has sufficient energy and blood and is in good health now. If someone else who is weak were to go through this several times, the toxic effect of the medicine would probably cause more damage and less recovery, so it would be better not to take any supplements.
Zhou Yuan believed that there existed in this world a prescription with mild medicinal properties and significant effects.
But Old Man Luo didn’t have any expensive tonics or good prescriptions.
“What is honey to me is poison to others.
I have the skills of food supplement and recuperation, which allow me to absorb more nourishing medicinal effects and alleviate the negative effects of decoctions."
"This medicine is a tonic for me, a small blood-replenishing soup, but it may not be for others."
The decoction can restore blood, even if it causes damage first and then replenishes, and can only produce 2% positive feedback, it is acceptable to Zhou Yuan.
A packet of medicine can be stewed twice and can restore 4% of health points in a day. This gives Zhou Yuan a new way to recover besides stealing.
With the help of the tonic, Zhou Yuan further strengthened his skills training and soon gained new rewards.
You have mastered the spear technique.
【Thorn Lance, Lv1 (1/10)】
【Effect: The front hand becomes like a ring, the back hand like a lock, the energy is concentrated, and the spear shoots out in a line.】
The core of the spear-throwing technique lies in two aspects: force and precision.
After the spear skill was turned into a skill, Zhou Yuan's spear finally got over the stage of being unable to perform well and its accuracy was greatly improved.
"clang···"
The bamboo pole without a tip accurately pierced the copper coin hanging on the straw rope.
The sound of metal colliding attracted the attention of the three villagers. Just when they thought Zhou Yuan was lucky, clang clang clang sounds appeared one after another.
The effect of using a bamboo pole to pierce a copper coin is too obvious, and is far less subtle than using a hatchet to chop wood.
It was not until this time that the three villagers were surprised to find that Shitou had really refined something.
"This is incredible, Uncle Huang, Shitou has really gotten it this time.
I've been playing with sticks a lot these days, and if I can aim at the eyes and stab the neck, I'm considered lucky. It's unbelievable that a stone can pierce such a small copper coin."
"Don't compare yourself to a stone. A stone has been enlightened countless times, so you should be able to develop something real.
However, this guy is getting more and more weird. He was at least five steps away from the copper coin, so how could he stab the hanging copper coin? "
Tying a line sounds easy, but it is not easy in practice.
Zhou Yuan's spear thrust was not a slow movement after aiming, but a powerful and violent thrust.
Even in this kind of explosive thrust, he can still ensure accuracy, which is not inferior to that of a serious martial artist.
"Okay, this guy has some talent. If he becomes a soldier, he can smash a few heads with his accuracy.
This big spear is fierce and vicious, so you two should hurry up and serve tea and water, and say some nice words, so that Shitou can teach you."
"Uncle Da Huang, why don't you go?"
"I am old and weak, how can I become a soldier? You should practice hard. A sharp spear is better than anything else."
The two villagers listened to the advice very well. When they were first chosen to take care of Zhou Yuan, they were mostly resentful.
But now it was different. Zhou Yuan was so bold that he dared to lead them to drive away the idlers. He pointed his spear and stabbed wherever they went, which really impressed them.
Therefore, they stood quietly beside Zhou Yuan, holding tea and towels, hoping to learn a few tricks and have more capital for military service.
"call···"
It was not until his spear skill reached level 2 that Zhou Yuan put down the bamboo pole and stretched his aching arms.
The benefits of turning abilities into skills are so great that the emergence of skills is like a passing line, which firmly stabilizes the lower limit of skills.
The growth of skill proficiency is also constantly improving the lower limit of skills, so that Zhou Yuan has a sense of pleasure that he can move the gun at will and has everything under control.
"Shi Tou, are you done practicing? Talk."
"What do you mean, I just realized it again?"
"Hey, that's it. Stone, you've figured it out, so you must have understood the trick as well. Why don't you teach us?
We won’t let you work in vain. We will definitely provide you with delicious food such as eggs, beans, fruits, etc.”
"Okay, you guys practice for a few times and I'll take a look."
Without an attribute panel like "once a certificate, it's permanent" and "efforts will be rewarded", it is very difficult to quickly practice martial arts.
Zhou Yuan gave instructions for half an hour, but the two villagers' spear skills didn't improve much.
Fortunately, his words were straightforward and he explained the techniques thoroughly. Even though the two villagers didn't succeed in mastering the techniques, they felt they benefited a lot.
The tactile feedback brought by action-type skills such as spearing is more obvious than that of life skills.
After acquiring new skills again, Zhou Yuan's pursuit of running became even higher.
He shortened his rest time and focused on running practice whenever he was not practicing his skills.
"Brother Shitou, you're running again. I'll run with you when I get better."
"Okay, is Ergou feeling better?"
"I can get out of bed now, and my body doesn't hurt anymore, but I feel very weak and cough all the time."
Zhou Yuan passed by Ergou's house and took a look at Ergou. The boy was sitting on a wooden block basking in the sun.
His wife was worried that he would be tired, so she didn't let him do anything and just let him rest.
The blood bar on his head recovered from 76% to 80%. After all, he was a young man with a strong foundation. As his condition improved, his vitality surged up.
"If you feel weak, take more rest. I have some tonics that Old Man Luo prepared. When you recover, I'll give you some tonics to replenish your body."
Seeing Zhou Yuan waving and about to leave, Ergou quickly stood up from the wooden block and leaned over the fence to shout.
"Brother Shitou, come here, I want to tell you something."
"What's wrong, Ergou? Do you have any secrets?"
"Brother Shitou, I almost died this time, and I figured out a lot of things.
This pearl is Cui Niang's dowry. Keep it safe. If you join the army, you can use it to bribe your superiors and get a better job."
The round pearls were very beautiful under the sunlight. Zhou Yuan could tell at a glance that they came from the 【General Qingsha's Nest】 copy.
"It's too valuable for me to accept. Besides, we brothers joined the army together, so it's your turn to find a good job."
"Brother Shitou, just collect it. My father sold the land and asked the village head to report the epidemic. The county agreed to replace him with someone to join the army."
"Okay, then, find a job as soon as possible and live a good life."
