Yu Tianyi, a martial arts fanatic, sat blankly in the fountain park. When he looked up, he suddenly saw that the fountain not far away began to bloom with colorful lights. The crystal clear water droplets looked like a dream under the backdrop of these lights.
Is this a dream?
Everything that happened today was truly amazing.
In the morning, he tasted food he had never tasted before, and his true understanding of martial arts was further improved.
Afterwards, in order to repay the owner and take care of the owner's business, he came to the owner's shop to read books, but unexpectedly he got another opportunity.
He actually learned a palm technique called "The Palm of Sorrow and Desolation" from the novel!
What's even more amazing is that this palm technique also carries a kind of true meaning of martial arts, which is extremely mysterious.
It turned out that the store owner had also taken into consideration the needs of these innate realm warriors.
When Yu Tianyi reached this level, the fitness equipment in the fountain park and the five times training speed of the ice spring were of little help to him.
Naturally, his only choice was novels.
He had originally just been skimming through the novel, but he soon discovered that the plot was incredibly engaging and deeply immersive. He was instantly captivated, unknowingly devouring the book, rejoicing and grieving for the protagonist.
Compared with those vernacular novels describing the affairs of the martial arts world circulating on the market, this novel called "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is undoubtedly better written, and the plot of the whole book gave him a strong sense of impact.
The immortal named Jin Yong is indeed a deity from outer space. His skills and intentions in writing novels are far beyond those of us mortals. Why didn't anyone think that novels could be written like this before?
As he read on, he realized that he had underestimated the novel.
After all, it is a novel written by a god, and his writing style naturally reveals a very high realm. While describing it in a light-hearted way, he has written some of his understanding of martial arts.
For example, in the way of the sword, Dugu Qiubai started with the sharp sword of blue steel, the soft sword of purple violet, and then the heavy sword of black iron. He then returned to the original state, not being bound by material things. Everything could be a sword, and finally he reached the state where no sword was better than a sword.
From this process, we can see the changes in Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship realm.
Although Yu Tianyi does not practice swordsmanship, in his opinion, the practice of any moves has something in common with this.
First polish the basics, then pursue techniques. Once you reach a high level, simplify things and pursue artistic conception.
The protagonist Yang Guo's training process is a portrayal of this. In the end, Yang Guo created the Sorrowful Palm, which is filled with his sad feelings when he missed his wife. This is the true meaning of martial arts.
Yu Tianyi couldn't help but think of his deceased wife.
Ten years ago, his wife was sent by the Medical Valley to guard the Central Plains, but unfortunately she was killed by villains. How similar is his experience to Yang Guo's?
This Sorrowful Palm is simply too suitable for him.
Yu Tianyi was lost in thought for a moment, then stood up and decided to return to the Medical Valley to inform the Valley Master and the elders of the news.
…
In the restaurant, Feng Yuanning sat comfortably on the sofa, checking the data on the system page, and was in a very good mood.
Hotel upgrade conditions: The restaurant has served a total of 2131/3000 people and completed 3/3 of the task.
Mission: Have three customers comprehend the skills in the book (2/3) to unlock the automatic cash register.
Today, after launching takeout, the number of guests at the restaurant has nearly tripled. Of course, the two hundred villagers who tasted the ice jelly were just a short-lived exception.
However, correspondingly, the flow of people in the restaurant decreased significantly, and Feng Yuanning had a lot more free time.
With the help of the machines in the kitchen, it is actually not difficult to achieve industrialized and streamlined catering.
The takeaway meal kits have the same dishes but with significantly smaller portions, so they can be produced in batches at one time, which greatly reduces the workload.
As the sky grew darker, there were few people left in the restaurant. Feng Yuanning asked Boss Wang to go home after get off work, and then he sat on the sofa to rest and took stock of the data in the system.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded suddenly: "Congratulations to the host for completing the task. The automatic cash register has now been unlocked."
Feng Yuanning was stunned. Who was it? Which destined European emperor helped her complete the mission?
But never mind, as long as it can be completed, who cares who this person is.
She immediately entered the hotel management interface and found an automatic cash register set up in the restaurant and lobby counter. She ran over to check its functions.
Unexpectedly, she discovered that the automatic cash register not only can automatically collect money, but guests can also place orders, check in, and recharge their library cards by themselves.
She was finally free from the heavy cashier work!
Now, she only needs to adjust the hotel's operating direction, and the importance of the luminous scrolling words and bounty task signs will be further enhanced.
She thought for a moment and modified the scrolling words: "This store has launched self-service. For accommodation, meal orders, and library card recharges, please use the automatic cash register."
Then, she quietly changed the restaurant's dish prices to ten times the original price.
The original takeout meal cost 300 wen, but after the price increased tenfold, it became 3 taels of silver. Only the extremely wealthy could afford to continue eating it every day, but most people could no longer afford to eat it often and could only enjoy it occasionally.
After adjusting the price, she added a task to the bounty task board: "Restaurant's 90% discount promotion is about to end. Countdown 71 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds."
In this way, the price will still be displayed as a discounted price, and when the task is completed, the price will automatically return to the original price.
She limits reservations to three days at most, and considers it a win if she can make the deadline.
After the adjustments were completed, she asked the puppet Xiu'er to be on duty at night, and returned to the guest room upstairs early to continue reading the novel "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Before going to bed, she checked the situation in the theme garden.
Over the past few days, the number of people who have broken through the realm in the Ice Spring has been decreasing day by day, but starting from yesterday morning, the number has begun to increase again. No one knows what is going on.
The mission progress is now 41/50, and only nine people are left to unlock the new themed courtyard.
…
The next day was the fourteenth day after Feng Yuanning traveled through time.
The weather was bad today and it rained heavily, so the number of customers coming to the store decreased again.
Boss Wang had to deliver the takeaway in the rain. Fortunately, the hotel’s takeaway packaging was not affected by the heavy rain.
At the entrance of the Medical Valley, the guard took a look at the takeaway packaging on his cart and let him drive the ox cart into the Medical Valley.
No one can forge takeout packaging like that of Xianyuan Hotel, so it can be considered a pass.
After entering the Medical Valley, Boss Wang delivered the takeaway to the people who made reservations one by one. The head of the Medical Valley and the elders were all very polite to him, and even expressed their gratitude and condolences to him.
He felt the influence of the shop owner and the improvement of his own status, and he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
Even a giant like the Master of Medical Valley treated him equally.
This is enough for his life.
However, at the same time, he became more and more stern in his heart, secretly reminding himself not to be complacent and never let the owner down.
After delivering the takeaway, he returned to Xianyuan Hotel in the rain and temporarily parked his car next to the hotel.
Five warriors wearing rain hats were seen standing in front of the hotel gate. They looked at the Xianyuan Hotel cautiously and hesitantly, letting the heavy rain soak their clothes.
Boss Wang felt that the atmosphere was not right and felt an inexplicable chill, so he quickly ran towards the Xianyuan Hotel.
"Stop!" one of them suddenly shouted.
Boss Wang hesitated for a moment and stopped in the gatehouse. "This is the owner's territory. The owner is a god who has descended to earth. I advise you not to act rashly here."
"Shop owner? A god? Stop, don't go!" Seeing Boss Wang turning around and about to walk into the hotel, one of the warriors flew out like a sharp arrow, as if turning into a shadow, and reached out to capture him.
"Stop!" Suddenly, a figure fell from the upstairs like a big bird, grabbed the warrior with his backhand, and knocked him to the ground.
It was a girl in black clothes. She had a cold and beautiful appearance and an imposing air. She was none other than Ke Bingling, the Inspector of the Xuanjing Division. "You are the assassins from the 'Never Return', right? What a coincidence that you have run into me. Tell me, what are you doing here? You dare to cause trouble in the Xianyuan Hotel and disturb the owner's peace. Do you want to die?"
The other four warriors turned around and tried to escape, but Ke Bingling immediately swung out a long rope. It happened so quickly that the long rope almost melted into the air. In just a moment, she easily rolled them back.
The five warriors exchanged glances, and one of them said, "A killer from our 'No Return' group has defected. It's said she was last seen at the Xianyuan Hotel."
Therefore, even if Xuan Jingsi wants to arrest someone, they should not miss the target of their trip.
Then again, how did the Xuan Jing Division recognize them? Could it be that the defectors defected because they had reached a cooperation with the Xuan Jing Division?
Ke Bingling looked them over, then suddenly smiled and changed the subject: "Have you heard of the hot springs at Xianyuan Hotel? They can dispel all poisons and completely repair body damage. In your case, with your body poisoned and your foundation damaged, you might want to go soak in the hot springs. After soaking in the hot springs, there's also an ice spring that can increase your cultivation speed fivefold, which is a great opportunity to retrain your other skills."
The five warriors looked at each other, half believing and half doubting.
At this time, a pretty girl ran out of the hotel: "She is right, the poison in my body has been eliminated, and the damaged foundation has been repaired. Now I have switched to practicing other techniques."
The pretty girl is their target, Lin Wusan, who is also a killer from the killer organization "No Return".
Ever since she moved into the hotel and discovered the effects of the hot springs and ice springs, she had abandoned her own techniques and chosen to start practicing again.
Since she was retraining, her progress was quite fast. In the past few days, she practiced very hard in order to make money. She broke through the realm twice in the ice spring and obtained twenty potatoes through the task.
It happened that Ke Bingling was purchasing potatoes and noticed that something was wrong with her. After investigation, she quickly confirmed Lin Wusan's identity and reached a strategic cooperation with him.
Lin Wusan said earnestly, "Do you want to continue to be controlled by the leader and continue to serve as his murder tools in a daze? The owner of the Xianyuan Hotel has extraordinary magical powers. If we continue to stay here, we can find our own lives and no longer have to live like the past."
Ke Bingling struck while the iron was hot, "Indeed, for people like you, who were captured and imprisoned as children, then fed a deadly poison and forced to become assassins, it's understandable. As long as you're willing to mend your ways, the Xuan Jing Division won't mind giving you a chance. But you must cooperate with me, attract more assassins, lead them back to the right path, and strive to capture the 'No Returners' and eliminate the ringleader."
"Really? I'm willing!" One of them had a strange light in his eyes and struggled to get up from the ground. "As long as I can start over and gain my freedom, I'm willing to cooperate!"
"Where are you four?" Ke Bingling looked at the other four people.
The four hesitated for a moment and quickly made a decision.
The "People of No Return" train them extremely cruelly, forcing them to practice quick success methods that will damage their foundation, and using poison to prevent them from betraying. They will also be punished if they fail to complete the task on time.
Who would want to continue being a killer if they could just be a normal person? If this opportunity was real, they would certainly be happy to cooperate.
"If it can really detoxify and repair the damaged foundation, then I have nothing to say."
"As long as what you say is true, I have no objection to cooperating with you."
"I have no objection."
"As long as I can be a normal person, I have no objection."
Ke Bingling turned and walked towards the hotel door: "Then come in with us."
The five killers looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and followed him into the hotel.
