Chapter 13 Encountering a bottleneck
Five days later.
Zhao Ya finished his training for the day and then opened the attribute panel.
Name: Zhao Ya. Age: 16 years old. Remaining life: 30 years.
Skills: Eight-step Vajra Kung Fu (Entering the Hall 304/500) Five Tiger Fist (Small Success 13/1000)
[Stomach unlocking progress: 80%]
After practicing for five full days, except for a slight increase in proficiency in the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu and the Five Tiger Fist, there were almost no changes in other aspects.
Especially the progress of unlocking the stomach has not even moved.
Zhao Ya frowned, knowing that he had encountered a bottleneck.
In fact, since the completion of Bone Refining, ordinary meat has become less and less useful to Zhao Ya.
In the past few days, he had relied entirely on the meat meal rich in blood and vitality provided by the escort agency at noon and the tonic soup after the meal to replenish his vitality and blood, so his progress was naturally much slower.
The time is almost up. Tomorrow, I will reveal to the escort agency that I have also completed the bone refining process.
In that case, my salary should be improved, which can alleviate the current predicament a little.
Zhao Ya sighed helplessly.
Knowing that this is not a long-term strategy, although the Changlong Escort Bureau has a relatively rich background, it has so many disciples that when averaged over each person, it appears to be very weak.
If you want to make progress, you must think of other ways.
Especially meat or medicinal materials that can replenish qi and blood in large quantities are the key among the keys.
But where can I get such a thing?
You must know that there are many warriors in this world, and the resources for cultivation are very precious.
Anything that can enhance Qi and blood is a secret that is not passed down in every family.
Not to mention anything else, even Zhao Ya drinks a lot of tonic soup every day. It is the exclusive secret recipe of Changlong Escort Bureau. Except for the chief escort chief Meng Lei and a few veteran escort masters, no one else knows about it.
Zhao Ya was thinking hard when Tang Zui'er's shout woke him up.
"Brother Xiaoya, it's time to eat."
"okay!"
Zhao Ya responded casually, turned around and entered the kitchen.
The food has already been placed on the table, and even the chopsticks have been placed for Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya sat down and was about to eat when Tang Zui'er handed over a hot towel.
"Brother Xiaoya, you have been practicing martial arts for a long time and your face is covered with sweat. Wipe it off quickly."
Zhao Ya took the towel and sighed secretly while wiping his sweat.
After taking Tang Zui'er in, aside from other things, his life was much more comfortable than before.
Not to mention cooking and washing dishes, this little girl does even the small details of life very well.
In just a few days, Zhao Ya felt like he couldn't live without her.
After wiping away the sweat, before Zhao Ya put it down, Tang Zui'er reached out and took the towel.
"Eat it while it's hot, Brother Xiaoya."
Zhao Ya nodded, picked up the chopsticks and saw a cloud of wind.
I have to admit that this little girl Tang Zui'er's cooking skills are much better than Zhao Ya's.
Even this simple stew was made very delicious by her.
Zhao Ya's food was very delicious.
Tang Zui'er looked at it with a smile.
After a while, Zhao Ya raised his head and said in surprise: "Zui'er, what are you looking at? Hurry up and eat."
"Uh-huh."
Tang Zui'er then picked up his bowl and ate in small bites.
Soon, a large pot full of food went into Zhao Ya's stomach.
But even so, Zhao Ya still didn't feel much satisfied.
Zhao Ya even suspected that if he opened his mouth to eat, one pig might not be enough for a meal.
"Brother Xiaoya..."
"Um?"
Zhao Ya looked up and saw Tang Zui'er looking at him with some trepidation.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Zhao Ya asked.
"I think... I want to find some work."
"Looking for some work?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.
"Yes." Tang Zui'er nodded vigorously and said very seriously.
"Brother Xiaoya, it's not easy for anyone to live in this world. Especially you have to practice martial arts to strengthen your body, which consumes more than the average person. Now that you have me, it will definitely be even more difficult, so I want to find some work to supplement my income. Order for home use.”
Zhao Ya couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.
This little girl is quite good at talking, saying that she consumes more than the average person.
To put it bluntly, this little girl thinks that she is so good at eating, so she is afraid that one day she will no longer be able to support her.
Zhao Ya suppressed the smile in his heart and asked deliberately: "Oh? Then what kind of work are you going to do to support your family?"
"I've thought about it a long time ago. We are the only ones at home now, and we don't have much work in total, so I can wash and mend clothes for others. Although I won't make much money, it's better than sitting idle at home." Tang Zui'er He said enthusiastically.
"Sounds good, but where do you recruit people from?"
"This requires you, Brother Xiaoya, to come forward. After all, it's not good for me to show up in public. You are different. You are a man and you have martial arts skills. Others will definitely not dare to blackmail you."
"And you can also tell your colleagues in the escort agency to bring back all the clothes they need to wash. This will also be a source of income, what do you think?" Tang Zui'er looked at Zhao Ya very excitedly after saying this.
Zhao Ya nodded, "Okay..."
"What a big-headed ghost you are!"
As he spoke, Zhao Ya raised his chopsticks and knocked Tang Zui'er on the head.
"Oops..." Tang Zui'er held his head and looked at Zhao Ya with some pain.
Zhao Ya said sternly: "Stop thinking nonsense. Since your grandma entrusted you to me before she died, I will naturally take good care of you. Besides, I, Zhao Ya, don't need the money you spent on washing clothes for others."
"But we..." Tang Zui'er's eyes were a little red.
"It's nothing to worry about. Don't worry, I'll have no problem raising you."
Tang Zui'er finally stopped insisting on his own ideas and began to clean up the dishes silently.
Zhao Ya smiled and didn't say anything. He washed up and lay down on the bed in the outer room and fell asleep.
The next day.
Zhao Ya came to the escort agency early. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the cheerful Luo Feng.
"Good morning, Brother Zhao!"
Zhao Ya was a little surprised, but still nodded, "Well, morning!"
Then Zhao Ya walked to the backyard of the escort agency, preparing to meet the chief escort chief Meng Lei.
But after walking a few steps, he saw Luo Feng coming with him.
Unexpectedly, Luo Feng was more surprised than him.
"Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"
"Go and see the head escort."
"What a coincidence, so am I."
Speaking of this, Luo Feng's smile became even brighter, "To tell you the truth, Brother Zhao, I successfully broke through just yesterday."
Zhao Ya was quite surprised.
He originally thought that the next breakthrough would be Zhou Hua, but he did not expect that it would be Luo Feng.
But immediately thinking about Luo Feng's family background, Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel relieved.
With an uncle like Luo Qiang, Luo Feng must be able to obtain more resources, so it is not surprising to achieve a breakthrough.
"Oh, then congratulations to Junior Brother Luo!"
"Hey, thank you very much. By the way, Brother Zhao, what do you want to do with the chief escort?"
Zhao Ya smiled, "It's nothing, it's just a coincidence that I happened to have a breakthrough just last night."
I had something to do during the day today, so I just finished one chapter in the evening. The next chapter will be around eight or nine in the evening!
