Chapter 604: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
After landing in the dream game on Saturday, Kong Xiuying still went to the practice room of the Mental Mechanics Hall first; On this day, after practicing and figuring out for a while, Kong Xiuying also felt that the concentration of spiritual power condensed in her mind was getting higher and higher, and she gradually had a feeling of being about to squirt; She hurriedly followed the requirements of the exercise, aimed at the brain of the target person in her mind, and naturally launched the spirit thorn condensed to the launch concentration, and the system prompted 'The spirit thorn was successfully launched'.
After taking a break, Kong Xiuying tried again to condense the spirit thorn; This time it was faster than before, and five minutes later she successfully launched the second spirit thorn of the day. On this day, she spent 8 copper coins. After coming out of the Mental Mechanics Hall, Kong Xiuying decided to go to the place where she farmed again; When you ask there, farming is also mainly to improve mental power, and you can also piggyback on increasing your strength value.
The way to farm the land is to use spiritual power to direct the ox and pull a plow to plow the land; A man can stand on the plough and direct the oxen to plow the ground, or he can walk on the ground and hold down the plough with his hands and direct the oxen to plow the ground. When the mental power value is 7, you can command a cow, and every time the mental power value increases, you are eligible to command one more ox to plow the ground; The wages for ploughing the land are one copper coin for each piece of land that is plowed; The standard for a good plough is that after the plough is completed, green seedlings will automatically grow on the ground.
In addition, there is no phenomenon of beasts hurting cattle here, and no deposit is required; The oxen and plough are already ready in the field, and when you say hello to the owner, you can go straight to work in the field.
Kong Xiuying felt that this should be her own appetite, after all, she seemed more elegant; Although her mental strength was much higher than the minimum limit, she decided to try to command an ox to pull a plow, which could be regarded as familiarizing herself with the environment. Since it was her first time in contact with farming, the owner led her to the field with her; There is an ox and a plow, and it is ready; Kong Xiuying saw the way the ox and the plow were matched, and understood what to do about this work, and the owner explained to Kong Xiuying the way of plowing.
The ploughshare is a one-metre-long, iron rake type iron piece with the teeth of the rake facing the ground; At both ends of the cross arm of the back of the rake tooth, a small iron ring is welded on each side, and a rope is tied in the ring to connect with the plough sleeve on the back of the ox; In the center of the cross arm on the back of the rake teeth, an iron handrail is erected, and a person can hold on the iron handrail and stand on the smooth surface of the iron rake to direct the oxen to march; You can also walk on the ground with the rake dragged by the ox, but while walking, you must press the iron handrail of the rake with both hands; In order to exert vertical downward pressure on the rake, so that it can exercise strength. When a straight plow is completed and the ox is turned, the player needs to lift the iron rake and place it in a new position.
Kong Xiuying first stood on the iron rake and commanded the oxen to plow; It should be the reason why her mental strength is high enough, Niu is very obedient; As long as the ox has completed 8 steps, the next mental power command can be issued in time. Kong Xiuying tried, if she no longer issued mental power commands, the cow would stand motionless after the previous mental power command failed.
After this plow, Kong Xiuying came down and changed the direction of the plowshare; Then he began to stand on the ground, holding the plow with both hands and commanding the oxen to move forward. Kong Xiuying pressed the plowshare with both hands, and when she walked on the ground with the ploughing ox, the depth of the iron rake of the plowshare was not as deep as the depth of the plowshare when she stood on the plowshare; But she didn't care about that, she just wanted to be able to exercise her strength while plowing the land. While holding down the plowshare, Kong Xiuying needed to give mental commands to the ploughing ox; At this time, she found a problem: when she pressed the plow hard, she could not gather her attention at the same time and give mental power instructions to the ploughing ox, at first she could only choose to relax first, exert force on her hands, and then force the plow with both hands after the mental force command was issued. This also made her understand that when Xu Ran was exercising and the opponent was fighting, it was difficult to issue mental power commands, because she was not used to it and was single-minded. Kong Xiuying learned from Xu Ran's experience at that time, and while strengthening her arms, she tried her best to relax her spirit, and tried to make issuing mental power instructions and exercising them into her own thinking habits, without being affected by herself and her strength. When this half-day part-time job ended, Kong Xiuying was already able to do it, while pressing the plow with her own strength, her brain would give mental instructions to the cattle at will.
In the process of plowing the land for half a day, Kong Xiuying did not keep it all the time, holding the plow with both hands and moving with the ploughing oxen; When she felt her arms weak, she would stand on the plow and direct the plough oxen to plow the land; When the strength has passed, keep plowing the plough with both hands and walking forward. In this half day, she completed the task of plowing two plots of land, each 12 meters wide and 30 meters long, and earned 2 copper coins.
After waking up on Saturday afternoon, Kong Xiuying had the long-lost feeling of soreness in her arms after exerting her strength in the dream game; Fortunately, it wasn't too serious, and she went out after she got up and went to the bathroom in the bathing city to take a bath, trying to relieve the soreness in her muscles as soon as possible. On Sunday afternoon, after entering the dream game, Kong Xiuying still went to the spirit thorn practice room first, and after practicing the spirit thorn, she successfully launched two spirit thorns and consumed 3 copper coins. Kong Xiuying continued and chose to plow the land, she liked this way of working; And she felt that this method should be able to increase the strength value quickly while increasing the mental power value.
This time, she chose to command two oxen, and the plowshare was 1.2 meters wide, and the iron rake of the plowshare was now welded with four small iron rings, which were connected to the plough sleeves on the two oxen.
The two oxen stand in a row vertically, in front of the back, rather than horizontally. At first, Kong Xiuying was quite puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood; If the two cows are lined up in a horizontal row, the two cows cannot go hand in hand due to the inconsistent starting time; When they are lined up, because of the cushion of the plough and rope, although the two oxen start at the same time, they do not affect them and walk forward in a row.
Two oxen pulling a plow move faster than an ox pulling a plowshare; It is still a cow that walks eight steps, and it needs a new mental power command, which requires her to speed up and issue mental power commands, but fortunately, her current mental power value has reached 10 (after practicing the spiritual thorn, the synthetic value of the mental power value has dropped to 10), and she has the experience of grazing and 5 sheep at the same time, and it is quite easy to command these two cows to work. With yesterday's experience, she quickly adapted to it today, and while struggling to hold down the plow with both arms, she freely gave mental commands to the two oxen; Don't worry about it, do it twice.
But now that the ploughshare is moving faster, she needs to quicken her pace to keep up with the strength of her arms; She felt that this would be a good and more effective way to exercise her strength and physical strength. She completed the task of plowing three plots of land on Sunday, earning three copper coins. Yesterday, she ploughed each piece of land three times, because yesterday, when she gave mental power instructions to the oxen, her arms could not be maintained at the same time and put pressure on the plowshare, resulting in the section where the plow passed at that time and the depth of the plow entering the soil was shallow. Today, although she can, while giving mental commands to the oxen, she does not need to relax the pressure on the plowshare; However, due to the fact that the plough speed up with the oxen, and in the same case of her arms pressing down hard, her downforce was not in place, and the plowshare had already moved forward with the plough oxen before the depth of the plough into the soil was in place, so that today she still used three times to complete the ploughing task for each piece of land.
On Sunday, she also needs to often stand on the plowshare, rest for a while, and then go down to the ground and continue to plow by hand. After waking up in the afternoon, it was still necessary to go to the second week of January (January 11-17) on Monday morning, Xu Ran, Kong Xiuying, Chen Xiangxiang and Li Xin came to the National Security Bureau to inspect the tombs that were seized one by one; The result was the same, they didn't find any items that could increase their mental power. In order not to be disturbed, Kong Xiuying and Chen Xiangxiang also deliberately took off the jade bracelet and put it in the car, without taking the jade bracelet into the storage room of this batch of tomb goods. The reality is indeed not satisfactory, and several of them are also very eager to understand why the pair of jade bracelets can be so magical.
The cultural relics experts in the bureau spoke highly of the cultural relics value of these tombs, and they could judge that the tomb of this prince had not been stolen before, so the tombs could be more comprehensive and reflect some cultural habits of the society at that time; Moreover, some of the unearthed tombs are national first-class or second-class cultural relics.
As for what to do with this batch of seized tomb goods, the final opinion is: "Since the jade bracelet that increases spiritual power is from the same batch of tomb goods, there may be other more valuable objects that cannot be found with current ability." "It has been decided to properly seal all these burial items, at least until the Dream Walkers' abilities are further improved.
After a few people came out of the storage room where this batch of tomb goods was stored, Chen Xiangxiang asked everyone to wait for her, and she went straight to the director's office on the office building to find it. Even though it was daytime, the lights in the director's office were on, and it was clear from the outside that there should be someone inside.
When Chen Xiangxiang went upstairs, she was still very confident and planned to ask for a leniency for those tomb robbers; When she came to the door of the director's office on the third floor, she was already a little drumming in her heart, and she was already a little skeptical that her approach was very appropriate; But now that she had arrived at the door, she didn't want to think about it anymore, and went up and knocked on the door according to her straight temperament all along.
"Come in." Someone inside was talking. After Chen Xiangxiang pushed the door in, she saw the director sitting at her desk, looking up at herself entering the door; Chen Xiangxiang shouted angrily, "Director." After that, he stood there and waited for the director to ask questions.
After the director saw Chen Xiangxiang, he was a little stunned at first, and then he should have recognized Chen Xiangxiang, and the director smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with Xiao Chen?" Sit down and talk. Chen Xiangxiang closed the door, sat on the sofa on the side and said, "I'm sorry, Director, it's affecting your work." The director said, "It's okay, you can talk about you." ”
Chen Xiangxiang said: "That's the case, didn't I catch a few tomb robbers this time, I wonder if I can ask for a favor for them and treat them lightly since all the stolen goods have been recovered." After hearing this, the director did not ask Chen Xiangxiang a reason for interceding, but sat there and thought about it seriously, so that Chen Xiangxiang could not say some of the words prepared in advance; I can only be anxious and wait for the director to consider the result. The director thought for a while and said: "Yes, this time, let's use them and confess leniently, no longer pursue any responsibility, and arrange to be released and go home today." Although he hadn't had time to say a lot of reasons for his preparation, Chen Xiangxiang still felt much more comfortable in his heart, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, Director." ”
The director also smiled and continued: "Xiao Chen has performed very well in this paragraph, and he has made meritorious contributions to the interrogation with his mental power, and those experts have been praising you for the past few days." Chen Xiangxiang smiled and said, "That's what I should do." ”
The director looked at Chen Xiangxiang and said with a smile: "In the past few days, those experts have all reported to me, asking you to be sent to assist them and conclude the unsolved cases left over from the past." Chen Xiangxiang was speechless when she said this, she understood that this was a new task that the director wanted to give her. Seeing Chen Xiangxiang's expression, the director looked very embarrassed, paused and continued: "I also understand that your current work focus should not be placed here, tell them that you are very busy with work, let them solve it by themselves." They argue with frequent reports, emphasizing that your abilities are unique, and that it is very important for them to conclude outstanding cases, and the conclusion of those outstanding cases is also important to the country. The director said that he would not say anything more, but just looked at Chen Xiangxiang with a smile.
Of course, Chen Xiangxiang understood what the director meant, and that was waiting for him to take the initiative to express his position; She is now reluctant and embarrassed to speak; Who let himself, first came to the director, and the director also readily agreed to his request. Chen Xiangxiang has always adhered to a principle of life, that is, people should respect each other; She smiled bitterly and said to the director: "I listen to the director, if I need to try the case, then I will try the case." ”
The director continued: "I know that you have a tight schedule every day, and I will not give you a lot of work to try cases; I think about you this paragraph, help them try the case once a week, starting from the next week, let them prepare in advance, and let Li Xin coordinate and arrange the specific day. ”
Chen Xiangxiang nodded and agreed, "Okay." When she came out of the director's office and went downstairs, Chen Xiangxiang thought about it for a while, and felt that the impact on herself was not too great if she tried the case once a week; As long as you go to the sheep herding base in the morning, you can set aside the time for sheep grazing; Maybe because of this, you can still know some insider information, and you can gossip if you have the opportunity; Thinking like this, her frustration gradually improved.
