In the 280th year of the Daqing era, as you were leaving your boat, you saw two figures fighting on the lake. Sword energy sliced through the water, sending waves several meters high. You quickly rowed away.
The next day, the Qinghe Gang issued an order for all fishermen to go out on their boats and search for a young man near Qinghu Lake. You realize that he is one of the two warriors who fought yesterday.
The fishermen found nothing. A month later, the storm subsided, and you lamented that you weren't destined to be the hero.
In the year 283 of Daqing, you are 28 years old and a very experienced fisherman. Your 1.26 times greater foundation gives you greater strength, vitality, and endurance than others. While some fishermen of the same age have aged prematurely due to long-term hard work, you remain energetic and in the prime of your life.
In the 284th year of Daqing, Uncle Ji's daughter, Ji Xiaoyu, would play with you all day long.
In the 285th year of Daqing, you heard that the Qing Kingdom had started a war with the neighboring Wu Kingdom. You thought to yourself, this is none of your business.
[Three months later, you were forcibly conscripted into the army.]
You enter the military camp and undergo a month and a half of training. However, you suspect someone is withholding your pay because the food is only enough to fill you 70% full.
[It may also be that you are stronger, so your appetite is bigger]
[After training in the basics of martial arts, you feel that you are just a mediocre martial artist.]
In the 286th year of Daqing, you were given a spear and a set of wooden armor, and arrived at the frontline battlefield with the army.
After only one day of rest, your unit was dispatched to attack. Amidst a battlefield of thousands, you and a familiar comrade shielded each other's backs, barely surviving the fierce battle.
[Suddenly a fierce general rushed out from the Wu army, holding a meteorite hammer weighing hundreds of pounds and sweeping across the country. You wanted to avoid him, and you succeeded.
But he casually smashed one of your soldiers with a hammer, and half of the soldier's hand fell on your head, knocking you unconscious on the spot.
[You fainted on the battlefield and never woke up again. You died.]
[Please select the following rewards to inherit
1. Detailed memories of seventeen years.
2. One and a half months of military martial arts skills + physical fitness after exercise
3. Increase the foundation by 17%.
"Of course it's 3!" Yun Shou said without hesitation. Even if the effect of a month and a half of martial arts training was good, it could not compare to a full 17% foundation!
[Ding! Basics +17%, current basics 130%]
"1.3 times, this should be better than that of ordinary people, right?" Feeling his body suddenly relaxed, Yun Shou couldn't help but stretching, and the energy in his body continued to flow out.
He didn't have enough to eat when he was young, and his vitality was severely damaged when he was twelve years old, resulting in his 114% foundation being even worse than that of an ordinary person...
And the current 130% is definitely better than that of ordinary people!
Yun Shou felt a sense of pride: "Now that martial arts school that looked down on me in the simulation..."
He was silent for a moment. Most of the martial arts schools still looked down on him. He was slightly better than ordinary people, but he was still an ordinary person.
If he wants the martial arts school to beg him to accept him as a disciple, he will probably have to wait until his foundation is increased to 200% or even 300%!
He shook his head. One simulation would not make him reach the top in one go. He couldn't even become the most basic warrior. He might as well just go out on the boat and fish.
See you tomorrow!
On this day, Yunshou's luck was average and he didn't encounter any big fish.
However, thanks to his increased strength and stamina, he was able to pull the net much more easily today.
In the evening, he returned to Qinghe Village on the edge of Qinghu Lake and handed over the harvest to the cunning shopkeeper of the Qinghe Gang.
"Eleven pounds and six ounces, fifty-eight coins." The shopkeeper handed over a handful of copper coins with a cunning look on his face and a smile.
Damn profiteer!
Yunshou cursed in his heart, but still took the copper coin with excitement.
It was said to be fifty-eight cents, but in reality it was probably four or five cents less. If he pointed this out in front of the shopkeeper, he would be beaten and humiliated.
Moreover, once it enters Qingcheng, this fish can be sold for at least a hundred coins.
But this place is under the management of the Qinghe Gang, and all the fishermen work under the Qinghe Gang.
Shopkeeper, this is the designated fish selling spot. If fishermen dare to go into the city to sell their fish, they won't have to fish here anymore.
People like Yunshou who signed a contract to sell themselves will be even worse off, they will be beaten half to death!
"Qinghe Gang, you are not human beings. All the advantages you have taken from me now will be settled one by one in the future!"
Yunshou swore in his heart.
But now let's focus on the heart.
On his way back to his shabby little house, he heard Old Man Wang scolding his son.
Old Man Wang was the old fisherman who rescued him from the water two years ago.
Unfortunately, it died after two years in simulation.
Old man Wang's son used his father's funeral money to marry a wife instead of burying his father. Yunshou was unhappy about this behavior, but Old man Wang might be even happier.
Because it is much more important for a son to have a wife than to be buried in the ground himself.
There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants.
Yunshou greeted the two of them, went back to his room and fell asleep.
Fishing is very physically demanding, and he doesn't have much energy for anything else when he comes back.
The next day, early in the morning.
Yun Shou opened his eyes quickly and looked at the system.
The daily simulation opportunity is here again.
So what are you waiting for? Simulation – start!
[Ding! Foundation -1%, current foundation 129%]
[In the 269th year of Daqing, thanks to your good health, the daily fishing catch is much better than before.]
In the 270th year of the Daqing reign, Old Man Zhu of Qinghe Village caught a "Little Black Dragon," a rare black-blooded fish, and was rewarded with thirty taels of silver by the Qinghe Gang.
Yun Shou: "Why didn't this part appear last time... Is it because the simulator only extracts specific plot points, or is it the butterfly effect caused by the changes in my mentality and strength after going through the simulation?"
Or both?
In the 271st year of the Daqing era, you accidentally heard about the "Young Talent Competition." The young warriors participating in the competition all started as second-rate warriors.
You've inquired about the grading system for martial artists and learned that they are divided into several levels: low-level, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, martial artist, and grandmaster.
[Martial artists can open martial arts schools. They are powerful figures who are famous in a certain area. Qingcheng, as one of the few large cities in Beichuan County, only has three martial arts schools.]
"Third rate, second rate... such lame names." Yun Shou was speechless. Although they were concise and clear, easy to remember and distinguish, they did not show the warrior's powerful and domineering aura at all.
In the 273rd year of Daqing, Uncle Ji's daughter was born and named Ji Xiaoyu. You liked this little girl very much.
In the 275th year of Daqing, a girl from Qinghe Village confessed her love to you, but you quickly rejected her because you only care about sex and not love.
[Speaking of prostitution, then I have to... Forget it. If you're worried about getting sick, it's better to save money and redeem yourself early to avoid forced conscription ten years from now.]
[In the 279th year of Daqing, you are 24 years old. Your current foundation is 139%. You think you are comparable to some strong guards and thugs.]
In the 282nd year of the Daqing reign, you finally scraped together enough money to redeem yourself five years early. From then on, you were free to do whatever you wanted. Uncle Ji and the others tried to dissuade you, but they didn't understand: redeeming yourself is fine, but you have nothing now, so why give up this safe and secure job?
You decided to leave and headed straight for Qingcheng... With your decent physique, you became a guard for the city's wealthy family: the Chu family.
[You have come into contact with the formal martial arts: Iron Body Kung Fu and Tongtian Arm. You can choose one of them as your life-defining martial arts.]
"Tongtian Arm sounds good." Yunshou pinched his chin.
You chose Iron Body Skill.
"…Going against yourself!"
