Chapter 699: Breaking away from the vicious cycle
As a time traveler, Zhou Xu has seen all kinds of weird people, especially the Internet, which is a place that can highlight the lower limits of human beings.
Without experiencing the baptism of those places, you will never know how low the bottom line of human beings can be.
To some extent, human nature can be regarded as the most complicated thing in the world.
In comparison, whether it is the humans in their Great Zhou, or the grassland elves like Silk, or even the lizard people living in the rainforest, they are all too simple.
Because of the backlash he suffered yesterday, Zhou Xu had no plans to test the truth again today. In the remaining half day, he basically handled some simple work, and then after dinner, he went to bed early.
After that, another two days passed. In this extremely short period of time, the people in Black Stone City basically adapted to the presence of the Great Zhou troops.
Just as the patrol team of the Great Zhou Dynasty had publicized, from the moment they entered the city, they did not harm any civilians, and even set up porridge stalls at the city gates to distribute porridge twice a day.
The same thing was done with distributing porridge. When Yan Sheng was still there, they did the same thing in order to stabilize the situation in the city. However, at that time, it was only once a day, and the porridge was as watery as clear soup, and the quantity was small, which was not enough to fill the stomach.
Compared with the fragrant white porridge at Da Zhou porridge stall, the difference is obvious.
In addition, the soldiers of the Great Zhou who patrolled the city every day never bullied others. When they saw some civilians in need of help, they would even take the initiative to step forward and lend a hand.
In just a few days, the fear in the eyes of the people of Black Stone City when looking at the soldiers of the Great Zhou had subsided a lot.
All these little bits and pieces accumulated over the past few days allowed the Great Zhou army led by Zhou Xu to quickly win the hearts of the people here.
From the perspective of an observer, Zhang Jingyan saw everything that happened in Black Stone City in the past few days.
After taking care of all the trivial matters and packing up what needed to be packed, Zhang Jingyan packed his bags and left the home where he had lived for almost half his life.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the sky in Black Rock City, which had been gloomy for more than half a month, suddenly cleared up today.
Bathed in the morning sunshine, Zhang Jingyan no longer had any doubts in his heart, and strode towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Jingyan is here."
After hearing Silk's report, Zhou Xu nodded, and to show his importance, he went to greet him in person.
Zhang Jingyan was flattered when he saw this.
Some people in Black Stone City may not know this yet, but he knows that he is the king of the Great Zhou!
Thinking of this, Zhang Jingyan quickly took two steps forward and knelt down.
"Your humble servant Zhang Jingyan pays respect to His Majesty!"
"Jing Yan, no need to be polite."
Between their conversations, the relationship between the king and his subject had already been established, and calling him sir was no longer appropriate.
Afterwards, Zhou Xu also asked Zhang Jingyan to go and check on Huo Qubing's condition as soon as possible.
After doing some simple examinations, Zhang Jingyan asked Huo Qubing about his feelings.
As an experienced medicine lover, after taking the medicine for three days, he felt it very clearly, because he found that his condition had improved a lot.
This surprised Zhang Jingyan.
This kind of thing is normal for an ordinary healthy person, but Huo Qubing's foundation was too weak and his recovery ability was poor.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter what disease he had, if he didn't take medicine for five to seven days, it would be difficult for him to show obvious improvement. It would take at least ten days or half a month to get better. It was not uncommon for him to be sick for a month.
"The efficacy of this new prescription is so much better?"
Faced with Zhang Jingyan's exclamation, Doctor Da Zhou next to him was proud, but after thinking about it for a while, he still told him a possibility that came to his mind.
"Our prescription is more effective, which may be one of the reasons. Another reason may be that he has been blessed by our king."
"Blessing?"
This term left both Zhang Jingyan and Huo Qubing a little confused.
In response to this, the Da Zhou doctor raised his head with pride.
"Our king is the chosen one of God, and he also possesses magical powers that can allow every one of his subjects to receive his blessings."
"Of course, how much blessing we can receive depends on ourselves."
"Specifically, it is reflected in various aspects such as better vision, faster speed, stronger physical fitness, etc."
Zhang Jingyan was amazed by what Doctor Da Zhou said.
Although he knew about the Chosen Ones and had seen the divine-like mantras, he had never seen a method like this that could improve the physical fitness of the people by granting "blessings".
This also made it difficult for him to believe it all at once.
Compared with Zhang Jingyan, Huo Qubing fell into a brief contemplation after hearing these words.
"I'm afraid this is true. It's really the king's blessing that has improved my physical fitness!"
At the end of his speech, Huo Qubing was so excited that his face turned a little rosy, which was very rare for him as he was always sick.
As he was speaking, feeling Zhang Jingyan's curious gaze, Huo Qubing quickly told him about how he felt his physical fitness had inexplicably improved on the day he joined the army.
"At that time, I thought it was an illusion caused by my excitement. Now it seems that the king's blessing has worked on me!"
It's no wonder that Huo Qubing was so excited at this time. You know, for him who was born with deficiencies, improving his physical fitness was really an extremely difficult task.
He was originally trapped in a vicious cycle.
Because of congenital deficiencies and poor health, he cannot overwork.
But if he cannot overwork himself, he will not be able to effectively improve his physical fitness through exercise. He may not even be able to eat more than a few bites of food, as he may not be able to digest it and may develop illness.
This, in turn, caused him to be weak and sickly.
Good man, after all this, isn't it a vicious cycle? But the blessing of their great king has brought him a turning point, giving him the opportunity to escape this vicious cycle! How could Huo Qubing not be excited? [Qubing's appearance does not seem to be fake, and at the same time, he only took the medicine for three days, and his condition improved significantly, which is even more untrue. 】
[Does the king really have such god-like means? Then can I also...?]
Thinking of this, Zhang Jingyan couldn't help but look down at himself.
But he didn't seem to have any clear feelings.
I don’t know if he saw what Zhang Jingyan was thinking, but Doctor Da Zhou at the side answered with a smile.
"This young man has been in a weak state for many years, so he felt it so obviously. For those of us with normal physical fitness, unless we do high-intensity exercise and have a full understanding of our physical strength, it is difficult to feel which part of the body has been strengthened."
