Jiang Bo and Ye Wen stayed at the inn for two days. After Jiang Yining and Ye Wen took Jiang Bo to buy a suit, Jiang Bo underwent a complete transformation.
To be honest, Jiang Bo is the kind of handsome, masculine man with a great physique. When he puts on a suit, he instantly exudes the aura of a successful person from the inside out.
"My sister has good taste," Ye Wu exclaimed, then added, "Although she's not as handsome as me, she still has a lot of style."
Although Jiang Bo has always lived in the countryside, it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. On the contrary, he actually has his own ideas, is steady in his work, and is full of drive.
Judging from his performance in the micro-realm, Jiang Bo is one of the important pillars among the people of the realm, and many tasks rely on him.
Otherwise, why would Ye Wen, with her extremely high standards, have taken a liking to him?
For a woman as aloof as Ye Wen, it's difficult to fall for someone; there are always various reasons why they might not be a good match. Jiang Bo caught her eye entirely because of his own charm. In the micro-world, appearance, money, and power are greatly diminished, making it easier to understand a person.
"Sister, are you planning to go with Brother Jiang to support his parents in his hometown?" Ye Wu asked Ye Wen secretly.
They knew about Jiang Bo's situation; he was an extremely filial son who had lost many opportunities for his parents.
Ye Wen shook her head and said, "I will only go there for a while. I will not settle down with him for a long time. With Weijie around, we don't have the trouble of a long-distance relationship, but I will visit his home often."
Microworld is indeed a boon for long-distance couples, perfectly solving the problems of being apart, and even allowing couples who are already together to spend more time together than in real life.
Jiang Bo is aware that his situation is special, which is why he has never gotten married. However, he knows that now that he has a lover, he must make changes. He is also very troubled about how to balance his parents and his lover.
Everyone has their own troubles, but fortunately, they have Microworld, which can help them solve many problems.
After Ye Wu and Jiang Yining temporarily left, Li Sen and Bai Jing took over their work. The two were also regulars at the Micro Realm Inn and were very familiar with it, especially Li Sen, who handled the reception work with ease.
Even when guests knew his sexual orientation, they rarely showed any rejection. This was Li Sen's skill; he could express things that were not accepted by the public in his own way, which Chen Yang greatly admired.
However, their lives in the micro-world were not affected at all. During their vacation, they went hiking, sunbathing, fishing, swimming, and boating, enjoying themselves immensely.
But it only lasted a few days, and soon everyone started to get bored and wanted to get back to work.
Xu Meng was worried about her pets, Jiang Bo wanted to go back and take care of the plants, and after Guo Zifeng handed over the iron smelting business to Hong Gui, he continued to study pottery. He hired a master craftsman who made purple clay teapots to teach him, and wanted to make a small Xi Shi teapot using the soil from the micro-world. He wanted to find better clay to make better pottery.
In the micro-world, the work may be hard, but it will never be mentally exhausting; everyone is immersed in it.
So, on the last day, everyone was eager to return to camp and get back to their work.
However, Chen Yang stayed on the island and began to study blacksmithing with Hong Gui.
Iron smelting and forging is a technical job. Their tools and equipment are very limited. They have no iron furnaces or bellows, and no molds. Everything has to be made by themselves.
Fortunately, they now have hammers and pliers, which they forged themselves. When Chen Yang and Wang Bing first started blacksmithing, they used stone hammers, which were very inconvenient.
Moreover, the stone hammer has many limitations; it's barely usable for hammering rough iron, but it's very difficult to hammer finer, more refined iron.
"I wanted to forge a satisfactory sword, and I tried twice, but both times I failed. It's not as good as a scythe."
There is a big difference between ironware used in combat and ironware used in ordinary agricultural and household use. The most important thing for ironware used in agricultural and household use is practicality, and the quality requirements are not so high.
However, weapons used in combat have very high quality requirements. Sharpness, toughness, weight, and feel all have strict standards, none of which can be met at present.
"Don't rush. You need to consider that our opponents aren't humans, and swords aren't as useful as you might think. Our current goal is to improve the quality of our forging," Chen Yang said.
Hong Gui nodded; he knew that too, but what blacksmith wouldn't want to forge a good sword?
"By the way, how's your Xingyi Quan progressing?" Chen Yang asked.
Hong Gui lowered his head with some shame and said, "I've been too engrossed in blacksmithing lately and haven't been practicing very diligently."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "We'll know once we spar."
Although Chen Yang insists on practicing every day, he feels that he has made little progress. When he asked the old man about it, he was met with a big eye roll from the old man.
"You've passed the initial period of rapid progress. Now you're accumulating experience. To break through again, you're already barely considered a grandmaster. No matter how high your talent is, it will still take a year or two. Don't be too impatient."
According to the old man, his junior brother in Bajiquan and Dong Yujue are also at the same level as Chen Yang. However, they have been immersed in this level for seven or eight years, so Chen Yang cannot beat them at present.
When Hong Gui adopted the tiger stance of Xingyi Quan, Chen Yang instantly felt that Hong Gui was different. Compared to his previous superficial movements, Hong Gui now possessed a powerful force, an incomparably brave and imposing aura.
Hong Gui pounced like a tiger, his momentum astonishing.
Chen Yang's fighting spirit was also ignited, and he, too, used only the Tiger Form to engage in a fierce clash with Hong Gui.
During their fight, neither of them could suppress the low growls emanating from their throats. The collision of their bodies was even more direct, with the shadows of their fists resembling two tigers pouncing on each other.
However, the situation was still quite clear. Chen Yang's movements were far smoother and more agile than Hong Gui's, and his understanding of the moves was more thorough, allowing him to steadily suppress Hong Gui.
Hong Gui's greatest advantage was his strength. He roared and, disregarding any technique, slammed his fist down like a hammer falling from the sky, carrying a violent heat wave that broke through the air currents and was unstoppable.
Chen Yang finally stopped using the Tiger Form Fist. He moved his body nimbly like a monkey, and at the same time, he punched Hong Gui in the abdomen.
Hong Gui's fist and Chen Yang's fist stopped at the same time, but Chen Yang had a smile on his face, while Hong Gui stared blankly at his hand.
Even if he's slow to react, he should have realized by now that his progress is astonishing.
"How could this be? I haven't been practicing at all!" Hong Gui was a little frustrated. He had practiced diligently for so long before but hadn't made any progress. Why had he improved recently when he hadn't been practicing?
Chen Yang had a clue, but wasn't entirely sure, so he asked, "When you were forging iron, did you ever think about practicing martial arts?"
Hong Gui scratched his head and said, "I don't know either, why don't you take a look?"
"You smelt the iron first. I'll go fetch the old man to take a look. My skills aren't good enough; I might not be able to tell the difference," Chen Yang said.
Hong Gui nodded, then called Hou Yu to start smelting iron, while Chen Yang rowed a bamboo raft to pick up the old man.
