What do you mean by "the game editor has also traveled through time"?

Come to the City Guard Commander.

Xu Shimo attracted a lot of attention as he walked.

It was clear that news of the midday battle had spread, and he, the newly promoted policeman, was beginning to come into the public eye.

Xu Shimo ignored this and headed straight for the training room.

"Is that the new constable from Hong Shou Fang?"

"That's probably it. I heard that Officer Han thinks highly of him, and Chief Clerk Xing also praised him personally. Tsk tsk, he's really lucky."

"Luck? If you were also at the third level of Qi and Blood, you could also cleave that ferocious Wang Yu ten meters away with a single strike, and scare Li Shou away with just a glance. Even Xing Gongcao would praise you."

"Shh, keep your voice down. This guy's tough. I heard he attacked his boss on his very first day on the job, and beat him so badly he flew out of bed, his buttocks were split in four, and he hasn't been able to get out of bed since."

"Hiss~! So ferocious?"

"That's how fierce they are. My cousin works there, under the command of that constable Wang who got beaten up."

"That's not all!" someone else joined in. "You all know about Qingyun Leg, right? It's the one that costs a hundred taels of silver in Yunjian City, and he gnawed its head off."

"Eating human heads? No way, he wouldn't even take a hundred taels of silver as a bounty?"

"Yes, this man is ruthless, no less so than the pale-faced scholar Jiang Jie. Even money can't sway his sanity."

"..."

Xu Shimo, who was about to step into the training room, paused, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Is that what's being said about me outside?

This is too outrageous.

Who would turn down money? Who would eat human heads for no reason? They're not tasty and they contain a soft virus.

Moreover, although I played a significant role in Wang Yu's death, it was only with the cooperation of Lin Cha Tou that I was able to barely kill him.

Wang Chang's claims are utter nonsense.

I should go talk to Officer Wang tonight and clear up the misunderstanding. Let's see what's going on outside... Xu Shimo thought to himself.

His pause startled the onlookers, who darted away and scattered like birds the moment Xu Shimo entered.

And so, the ruthless Xu Shimo, who loved human heads more than money, walked into the training room.

After taking out the warrant, he began browsing it under the guidance.

Half an hour later, he held the three methods in his hand, hesitating.

To be precise, there are only three fundamental laws here.

One of them is the "Flying Crane Body Technique".

As the name suggests, it is a movement technique created by imitating the movements of the red-crowned crane flapping its wings, skimming the water, and spinning. It is agile and light, suitable for stealth.

However, it is difficult to learn and requires a certain degree of flexibility in the muscles and bones.

The second is "Step Through the Clouds".

The footwork is simple, without any unnecessary movements, focusing on a straight sprint, rapid pursuit, and escape.

It's easy to learn but difficult to master, but of course, this is nothing for Xu Shimo, who possesses unparalleled talent.

Its advantages are high linear speed, simplicity, efficiency, and ease of use, but it lacks flexibility.

The third is "Steps on a Rock".

Qi and blood can be concentrated in the legs, like a rock rooted in the ground, able to withstand frontal impacts and sweeps, deflect external forces, and even use the force to counterattack.

However, it is more stable than agile, and its jumping ability is weak and it is greatly restricted by the terrain.

After a moment's thought, Xu Shimo made his choice.

He approached the old man at the door and handed him the movement technique.

The words "Flying Crane Body Technique" were written prominently above it.

The latter two are footwork techniques, which are used together in actual combat, especially in close-quarters melee.

But for Xu Shimo, who was determined to challenge those above his level, this footwork was merely icing on the cake.

A more important skill is the movement technique used to escape when you can't win a fight.

Unexpectedly, the old man merely glanced at it and uttered four words: "Thirty taels of silver."

Xu Shimo was immediately dumbfounded and asked, "Wasn't it supposed to be free with the token? Why do I have to pay?"

"This warrant can only grant you a Grade B cultivation technique at most, but yours is a Grade A technique, so you'll naturally have to pay the difference in silver."

"Are the other two books graded B?"

The old man nodded: "Indeed, you have a good eye—which one do you want?"

With gritted teeth, Xu Shimo tightly gripped the Flying Crane Movement Technique manual:

"Thirty taels it is!"

I'm a big spender now, I'm not short of money, I'll buy the best when I want to buy.

Half an hour later.

"Damn it, we're out of money!"

Back home, Xu Shimo grumbled and cursed, but looking at the fragrant meat in front of him, he felt a pang of heartache.

This was bought from the headquarters. It was thanks to the Embroidered Uniform Guard that the meat of the newly arrived Enlightened Tiger monster was brought in. It cost ten taels of silver per catty, and each taxi driver was limited to one catty.

Ordinary constables were not eligible to purchase [items].

After spending a fortune to buy a pound of snake, Xu Shimo stewed it together with the snake gall and some auxiliary medicinal herbs.

It's right in front of me now, steaming hot and emitting an enticing aroma of meat.

The little girl stood to one side and swallowed hard.

Xu Shimo paused for a moment, holding the chopsticks, and said:

"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it... okay, I just am reluctant. Every single bite of this pot is very useful to me. There's also some cured meat at home. If you're hungry, go and make some more yourself."

This isn't meat, it's all silver!

If Liu Si Niang ate a few bites, she would only feel hot all over and her blood would surge, but for me, every bit of it was power!

"Master Mo, you've misunderstood. I just didn't know if my cooking would suit your taste," Liu Si Niang said, swallowing hard again.

Xu Shimo took a small bite and then nodded.

Yes, you can eat it.

But that's basically all there is to it.

Next time, let them buy some spices, or at least some wine to remove the fishy smell. Although [Stealing Heaven's Secret] can be perfectly digested and fully utilized, it's not good to always force it in like this.

Thinking back to that night in Zhangjia Village, when there wasn't even enough salt, and they forced a pot of meat on [Stealing Heaven's Secrets], Xu Shimo laughed inwardly.

It's true what they say: when people are well-fed and warm, they start thinking about lustful desires.

Seeing Xu Shimo nod, Liu Siniang left with peace of mind.

"How is your father?"

Behind him, Xu Shimo's seemingly casual voice rang out, with a piece of meat still in his mouth.

Liu Si Niang's eyes brightened slightly: "Replying to Master Mo, I'm feeling a bit better, but the doctor said I need to rest quietly for a while. Don't worry, Master Mo, I will definitely do my best to wash clothes and cook meals to repay your kindness."

Why are you calling me "Master"? It makes it sound like I'm some kind of petty thug...

After Liu Si Niang left, Xu Shi Mo continued to eat his rice with his head down.

An awakened demon beast, its strength is comparable to that of a martial artist who has entered the Dao realm. Hopefully, the snake gall and the meat of this awakened demon beast will not disappoint.

If the effect is good, I can use my identity as a constable to buy another pound.

If there's any meat left.

"Burp~"

Forced to swallow the last bite, Xu Shimo summoned [Stealing Heavenly Secrets].

Purplish-red?

Even the "+" at the end of "Flying Crane Body Technique" showed a tendency to continue to transform, but this transformation was not stable. So, with a thought from Xu Shimo, it only stabilized at the point of just reaching a purplish-red color.

open!
