Chapter 10: Panda's morning exercise
The next day, most of the travelers who lived in Kalipura village got up a little late.
Except for the pandas who got up and exercised at dawn, even the more diligent scavengers who had the habit of exercising, slept until the third day.
These past few days, they have been too tired and nervous. They didn't really relax until today.
Once you relax, the fatigue of so many days will come to your mind, of course, you will inevitably eat and sleep. They ate and drank a lot last night, and even if they don't consider exhaustion today, the hangover alone is enough to make it less easy for them to get up early.
But the panda was not like that, he still got up when the eastern sky was just beginning to turn white.
After taking off his armor, he walked outside the village wearing a simple thin coat, walked out under the surprised eyes of the guards, looked for a tree that was not too thick, and rammed it back and forth.
His action of hitting the tree was a bit weird, obviously not to knock down the tree, but to hit it with the part of his body with thick muscles or easy to exert force. Even the guards could tell that his goal was to exercise.
"Is there such an exercise?"
"Isn't it right in front of you?"
The guards in the village also changed their shifts. The two people on duty at the moment were not the two people who had clashed with the passers-by yesterday. So they can watch the panda's exercise with a relatively relaxed attitude, and even occasionally learn to do two tricks like him.
Panda's exercise movements are simple and straightforward, and every move and every pose is full of strength. If he hits a person instead of a tree, it is inevitable that his tendons will be broken. A bit unlucky, it's not surprising to be killed directly.
Not only that, when he hit a tree, he often exhaled and shouted, making a thunderous roar. A loud roar followed by a violent crash shook the tranquility of the morning.
After a while, the sun gradually rose, and the earth was bright. The unfortunate tree finally couldn't bear the force of the strong bear man's repeated impact, and after a certain impact, there was a clear tilt.
Panda discovered this immediately, he frowned and muttered: "The roots of this tree are too shallow!"
He thought about it carefully, and soon figured it out: since he crossed, his body has become stronger, but his exercise habit has not changed, and he is still based on the experience on earth. Of course, this will go wrong... His current strength and physique are beyond the reach of him on Earth. At that time, he couldn't knock down such a tree, but now it is not certain.
The trees were hit like this, so naturally they could no longer be used to exercise this. After thinking for a while, he came to the guards and asked, "Is that tree important?"
The guards looked nervously at his tall and powerful body, and answered cautiously, "It doesn't matter, it's just an ordinary tree."
The panda nodded and went back to the tree that was already crooked. With luck, he bumped into it several times. Finally, he hugged the trunk of the tree with both arms, and with a loud roar, he uprooted the tree, which was thicker than an ordinary person's thigh. up.
This scene made the guards stunned, almost dropping their chins to the ground.
Did you make a mistake! It's enough to knock the tree crooked, but can it be pulled up empty-handed? Where is this guy a monster from?
Even if he has a bear face, he is not a bear after all! Even a bear might only be able to overturn a tree, and it is absolutely impossible to pull a tree empty-handed!
However, their surprise is not over yet.
Bearing the fallen leaves, the panda carried the tree up.
He chose a suitable position to balance the weight left and right, then carried the tree on his shoulders and started doing squats.
After doing several sets in one go, he stopped, put the tree aside, and thought secretly while wiping away the sweat.
The weight of this tree is quite enough, but the thickness is really inconvenient. Carrying it to do squats, I always feel that the force is not very smooth, and it can't compare with the gym.
Maybe... he should ask those traversers with forging skills in the guild to help him build a set of fitness equipment for himself?
After thinking about it, he shook his head again and dismissed the idea.
There is a lot to be done now, a lot of things need to be done, and a lot of equipment needs to be manufactured. It's really not good to trouble everyone for a mere set of fitness equipment.
Carrying a big tree is not a problem, it just takes a little more time and trims the trunk of the tree where the shoulders are carried.
Thinking of this, he nodded and continued to exercise.
When Wusian woke up, ate breakfast, and walked out of the gate of the village, what they saw was a sturdy panda, carrying a tree with luxuriant branches and broad roots, which obviously had not been pulled out for a long time. , walking around in the open space outside the village.
"Uncle Panda, what are you doing?" Little Eggplant asked curiously.
"Exercise." Panda put down the tree, took a breath, wiped his face, and replied while shaking off the sweat on his hands.
Exercise?
Everyone looked at each other.
Of course they have seen people exercising, but who would carry a tree to exercise?
And... looking at the appearance of this tree, could it be that he just pulled it out and used it as a barbell?
In the silence, Wu Mian first found the topic: "By the way, I have something to say, about a side quest."
"Side quest? What side quest?" Curious baby eggplant was immediately attracted and asked.
Wumian looked around, shook his head, and took everyone back to the hotel room to introduce them in detail.
This side quest is supposedly not in the closed beta stage, but only opened after an update. Its existence is mainly to improve the world view of the game, while giving newcomers a little interesting reward.
Its name is "Unfortunate Gambler Stroud", and it is about the guard who was taught by the panda before.
That guard is called Sturro, and he is a level 10 warrior in the game. He is also a good player in this novice village of Kalipura. But he has a bad habit of gambling money.
The habit of gambling for money is absolutely bad. People who have accidents because of their love of gambling have been around for a long time. Bankruptcy is commonplace, and family ruin is not uncommon.
Stroud's situation is not so serious. He has been gambling with a few villagers in the village who also like to gamble. The stakes are not big, and it's just a few silver coins coming and going. These people are not so much a bad bet, they are using this method to pass the boring time so that they have something to do.
But since you want to gamble, you have to decide the winner and loser, and no one wants to lose.
Stroud has a high level and basic attributes, and his perception ability is much higher than that of ordinary villagers. With this advantage, he wins more and loses less in gambling, which has always been the pride of the casino.
When he is happy, others are not happy.
Not long ago, several people who often gamble with him bought a set of remote control dice from a wandering merchant. This simple magic item allows the user to roughly control the direction of the dice. After a period of practice, there is almost a 20-30% chance of being able to control the number of points thrown more accurately.
The chance of 20% to 30% is not much, but for gambling, it is enough.
"I have a question." After listening to Wumian's introduction, Panda frowned and asked, "The village chief said before that he would be ordered not to gamble during this time. What if he doesn't gamble?"
Sleepless was stunned.
"Drinkers won't quit drinking, and gamblers won't quit gambling either." Zhangsun Wu laughed, "For example, how many times I made up my mind to quit gaming and concentrate on doing business. The longest one was only quitting. 12 hours."
Everyone laughed and it was settled.
