Chapter 26
[Please Select Direction]
The familiar text surfaced once more, and Zhou An waited patiently.
After a while, the text in front of him dissipated and new text appeared.
[Upside Down Object: Strength +1, Destruction +1.]
[Frying Pan: Speed +1, Aroma +1.]
Two lines of text, each carrying a different direction.
Zhou An still kept in mind the previous idea of choosing options that possessed similar attributes on top of the original.
The ability of Frying Pan, followed by Aroma +1 he really couldn’t understand, and there wasn’t an explanatory note.
But the skill of Bumping Objects was very obvious.
Strength +1 meant that when using Bumped Objects, you could gain extra strength, while Destruction +1, presumably literally, was able to increase power.
The lesser of the two, if you thought about it carefully, you would know what to choose.
Zhou An chose the Upside Down without hesitation.
The words in front of his eyes dissipated, gaining new words.
[Bumped Object lv.3 (Strength +2, Destruction +1): 1/40,000]
Unsurprisingly for him, the proficiency doubled again.
But …… everything in front of him was worth it.
Zhou An picked up the iron pot.
The moment he picked up the iron pot, a realization arose in his heart.
The powerful attribute at Strength +2 made him feel that the iron pot in his hand was much lighter.
Information came into his mind, and after Zhou An absorbed all the information, he finally understood the effect of his choice this time.
Upside Down Things, the word was as the name suggests.
This skill was so powerful that it could turn everything upside down.
Of course, there were also limitations.
If the opponent was too strong, he really couldn’t turn things upside down.
But currently, it seemed that being able to stand on the same level as the Butcher’s Sword Technique, upending a Beast Cult Protector was without pressure.
As long as he entered the pot, then everything was his call.
Destruction +1 was to inflict powerful damage during the process of inverting the pot.
The air in his body would wrap around the iron pot, and this air possessed a strong killing effect.
“Try to see if it can grow again?”
Zhou An suppressed the urge to try the skill.
It was impossible for him to use the things in the house to turn things upside down, that would be too defeating.
Now he wanted to test if Bumping Things would continue to grow after it reached the third level.
Thinking of this, he picked up some more dishes and put them into the pot and tried to invert them.
But the result was obvious, the proficiency didn’t grow, not even a little.
“Caught in a bottleneck, need to find an opportunity to resolve it like the Butchering Ox Knife Technique.”
With the Planing Ding Unraveling Ox Knife Technique Pearl in front of him, Zhou An certainly knew how to solve it.
He planned to ask Chef Liu sometime about some of the details of upsetting the pot.
After all, Chef Liu was working as a chef and he had high attainments in this area.
Even his own previous knife skills were instructed by Chef Liu.
The sky was already getting late.
Zhou An looked through the window at the bright moon hanging high outside, and without much thought, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Zhou An followed his usual routine, woke up early and washed up, then once again came to the breakfast store to eat.
After eating, he was still ready to order, and now had enough time to be able to take his time and enjoy his breakfast.
Zhou An ate at this stall from time to time, plus when he ate, he was dressed in the clothes of a constable, so being noticeable naturally did not matter.
The owner of the stall had already recognized Zhou An.
The owner had originally seen Zhou An as a constable, and had trembled every time for fear of offending him.
However, after a long time, he realized that Zhou An was very easy to get along with and didn’t fish for oil like other constables.
Over time, it is familiar.
The stall owner is an authentic ordinary person, middle-aged, and his face has traces of frost carving, but the dishes he makes are popular.
There were queues here from time to time, and the people were inundated.
“Constable Zhou, still following the old rules?” The stall owner wiped the table clean and asked with a smile.
Zhou An nodded, “The old rules, come straight up.”
“Alright!” The stall boss put away the rag and turned around to prepare breakfast.
Not long after, a cage of buns plus a bowl of porridge was placed in front of Zhou An.
“Enjoy your meal, just greet me if there’s anything else.” The stall owner smiled and left.
Zhou An didn’t say anything and started eating.
The buns here had thin skins and large fillings, and the fillings had three parts fat and seven parts thin inside, making them smooth and creamy in the mouth.
Recently, since the air, Zhou An’s appetite has grown a lot.
If it wasn’t for the salary of a constable, he really wouldn’t be able to afford to feed himself.
In no time, he finished the breakfast in front of him.
Zhou An called the boss, settled the bill and was ready to leave.
But just at this time, a group of people caught his attention.
There were about five people walking towards him, all wearing different clothes and holding different weapons in their hands.
There were those with swords and those with knives, and most bizarrely, there was also someone with a pair of curved hooks.
These five people found a table and sat down, letting the boss serve the food.
After being a constable for so long, Zhou An naturally recognized that these five people were all new faces.
Moreover, the accent of these five people was not that of Anding County.
With their weapons, they were undoubtedly people from the jianghu.
However, Zhou An did not bother.
Recently, there had been too many incidents in Anding County.
There was the Blood Shadow Sect and the Beast Cult, it had simply become a puddle of muddy water.
Zhou An shook his head, gripped the weapon on his waist, and went to the government office.
As usual, after the dawn, he went out with Yu Hang to patrol the streets.
By the afternoon, he and Yu Hang had a meal out together, and returned to the yamen to wait patiently.
While waiting, he also went along to carve a handful of wood.
It was their turn to patrol the night tonight, so neither of them went back either.
It wasn’t until the evening that Zhou An and Yu Hang came out of the yamen and arrived at the familiar Cang Yun Street.
At night, there was no one on Cang Yun Street.
Other than the night watchman who had just passed by, it was quiet.
The night in Da Chu Kingdom was like this.
At night, other than making little people, there was no extra activity.
The two of them walked slowly along this street, posing a couple sentences every now and then.
“The Unified Examination is coming up soon, are you ready here?” Zhou An asked.
Yu Hang was confident: “Don’t worry, with those two experiences, there’s absolutely no problem this time.”
It has always been Yu Hang’s dream to be a scholar as an official and then govern a side of the land and water.
When it came to this topic, Yu Hang was naturally gushing, and the two of them walked from the street to the end of the alley, and then turned around and went back.
Tonight, they would not rest.
After walking back and forth like this several times, Yu Hang was still talking.
“When the time comes to pass the exam and give me my share of the government, Lao Zhou, you come and hang out with me, I’ll give you a head constable.” Yu Hang had an air of I’ll cover you.
Zhou An sniffed and was about to flirt.
But he didn’t expect that before he could speak, his footsteps stopped.
Yu Hang followed suit and stopped, saying strangely, “What’s wrong?”
“There are sounds of fighting.” Zhou An looked at the alleyway to his right, his face grave.
