Chapter 5 Buying Meat



It was mid-afternoon and the sun was setting, but still very hot, casting large patches of bright white sunlight.

Xu Feng stood on the bluestone-paved street, looking at the buildings on both sides that clearly had the style of Jiangnan water towns, and the residents around him who were wearing ancient costumes. He suddenly felt as if he had traveled back to an ancient Jiangnan town.

After calming down, Xu Feng couldn't help laughing.

He had only been to Qingfeng Town once at the beginning. Like other classmates, he did odd jobs in Qingfeng Town to earn money, earning dozens of copper coins a day. After paying for food and accommodation, he could save very little money.

Seeing that other classmates made money much faster after getting their initial jobs, Xu Feng was very envious, but he did not want to take up an ordinary job.

One day, after Xu Feng finished his work and was about to go back to rest, he saw a middle-aged man performing magic tricks on the street. Out of curiosity, he went over to watch.

This man's magic trick was very exciting. Even when everyone had left and the middle-aged man was about to finish, Xu Feng still felt that he had not performed enough, so he gave him all the copper coins he had as a reward.

Unexpectedly, by accident, I obtained the C-level initial profession of "Juggler".

If you want to obtain the profession of "Juggler", the first requirement is to keep watching the performance of this middle-aged man and be the last to leave, and the other requirement is to give him all the money you have. If these two conditions are met, the middle-aged man will teach you the initial profession of "Juggler".

The reason why he chose this profession was simply because in class, when the teacher was explaining the initial profession in the Qingfeng Town Secret Realm, he did not mention this initial profession, which made Xu Feng feel very special.

Unexpectedly, along the way, Xu Feng actually advanced from a C-level initial profession to an A-level forbidden spell mage.

The juggler was not very strong at the beginning, and Xu Feng also went through many hardships before finally making it to the end.

Any initial profession has the potential to eventually grow into an S-level profession, but most people fail halfway before that time comes.

"I thought I had forgotten all of this, but I didn't expect that I still remember it so clearly!" Xu Feng looked at the familiar scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xu Feng walked along the street for more than a hundred meters and hesitated at a fork in the road. If he continued walking forward, he would reach the only tavern in Qingfeng Town, where he could find the quest items necessary to obtain the initial profession of Sword Master.

Turning left leads to a butcher shop. Li Handong, who had obtained an S-level initial profession, worked in this butcher shop to earn wages after entering the Qingfeng Town Secret Realm. By the way, he wanted to obtain a C+ level initial profession "butcher".

Butcher is an initial profession that combines both a life profession and a combat profession. After obtaining it, you can simultaneously obtain the life skill "slaughter" and the combat skill "pig-killing knife skills", and you will immediately have combat effectiveness.

Unlike the "Juggler" that Xu Feng obtained at the beginning, although they are both C-level professions, the Juggler's combat effectiveness is almost zero, but he is quite accomplished in confusing the enemy and escaping.

Li Handong once wrote a memoir, telling the details of how he obtained the S-level initial profession of swordsman. He obtained a fine wild boar hind leg because he completed a task assigned to him by a butcher.

This premium wild boar hind leg is best suited for grilling. If consumed with wine, it can permanently increase the eater's physical strength by 1-3 points.

In order to maximize the improvement of his physical strength, Li Handong gritted his teeth, bought the Qingfeng Yuye, and after work in the evening, he ran to the Daqing Mountain outside the town alone to barbecue, and started drinking and eating meat.

As a result, the aroma of wine attracted a middle-aged man who called himself "Drunken Sword Immortal". Li Handong invited the man to drink and eat meat together. After the man finished drinking, he taught Li Handong the S-level initial profession of Sword Master.

You know, any S-level initial profession is unique. Li Handong inherited the swordmaster profession, and no one else can obtain this initial profession anymore, unlike other grades of initial professions, which can be obtained repeatedly.

According to Li Handong's description, the main reason why he was able to obtain the initial profession of Sword Master was the jar of Qingfeng Yuye. As for the barbecue made from the hind legs of fine wild boar, since the Drunken Swordsman did not taste a single bite from beginning to end, Li Handong suspected that the barbecue made from the hind legs of fine wild boar was not a prerequisite for obtaining the profession of Sword Master.

The prerequisites for obtaining each initial profession are different. Only when these conditions are met can the corresponding profession be inherited. Most of the time, if you want to obtain an unfamiliar initial profession, you have to rely on guessing and looking for clues between the lines of the words of the person who teaches it.

But there are also people like Li Handong who got it by luck or by accident, and this kind of situation is not uncommon. It is like planting flowers with care but they don't bloom, but planting willows by accident but they grow into a shade. It is simply unfair.

Among the top ten secret realm apostles in the previous life, seven of them were secret realm apostles who obtained S-level initial professions, most of which were obtained by accident, and only two of them obtained the S-level initial professions based on clues, spending a lot of manpower and material resources to eliminate them one by one, determined the inheritance conditions, and finally obtained the S-level initial professions.

Xu Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go to the butcher shop first. Even though the Drunken Swordsman did not eat barbecue, there was only one chance. Xu Feng thought it would be better to try to perfectly copy the entire process that Li Handong had obtained and not make any mistakes.

"Li Handong obtained the task reward by completing the task. It is impossible for me to work in a butcher shop like him and wait for the butcher to give me the task. If I want to get that high-quality wild boar hind leg, the fastest way is to spend a lot of money to buy it!" Xu Feng thought to himself.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Soon, Xu Feng arrived at the only butcher shop in Qingfeng Town. It was a street-facing shop of only seven or eight square meters. There was a long counter across the door with a few pieces of pork on it and a few strips of pork belly hanging on the counter. As soon as you got close, you could smell a faint fishy odor.

Behind the counter, the butcher was lying on a rocking chair with a palm-leaf fan in his hand. He was rocking gently with his eyes closed, while fanning himself from time to time with the fan.

"Boss, buy meat!" Xu Feng stood in front of the shop and shouted loudly.

The butcher opened his eyes, glanced at Xu Feng, and stood up slowly. The butcher didn't notice his figure when he was lying on the rocking chair, but when he stood up, he found that this man had a broad face and ears, a fierce look between his eyebrows, and a burly and tall figure. His arms were as thick as Xu Feng's thighs. He looked fat, but in fact his whole body was full of solid muscles.

The butcher walked to the counter, his burly figure brought up a gust of wind, and a fierce aura rushed towards him.

"How much and what part do you want?" the butcher asked in a muffled voice.
