It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

"Are two people beaten today?"

Zhou An was slightly surprised when he heard this voice.

Usually, Qi Shuo is the only one who enters the house, but today there are two people getting beaten inside.

Zhou An guessed that the people inside were probably called by Qi Shuo.

Just as he thought about it, the door was soon opened, and Qi Shuo and another person walked out.

When Zhou An saw this person's appearance, he immediately smiled.

Wu Youde had two black frames on his face, and his face was filled with dejection.

The black frames on Qi Shuo's eyes deepened, and it was obvious that two more marks were left on top of the original injury.

His expression was okay. After all, he had experienced it before, and now that he had experienced it again, he wouldn't take it seriously.

But Wu Youde's expression was very bad.

He had an unlucky look on his face, and coupled with his shabby appearance, he felt quite unlucky at the moment.

Wu Youde was speechless. He felt that he would not be beaten no matter what happened this time.

Unexpectedly, I walked in with a smile on my face, and before I could say a few words, I was punched twice in the frame.

The two punches were so hard that there were bruises on his face.

He originally thought that if he greeted him with a smile, he would not be slapped, but he overestimated his own thoughts and underestimated the other person's temper.

The most important thing is not to get angry yet.

Because after coming in, Qi Shuo briefly introduced the other party's identity, Wu Youde knew that he couldn't get angry now.

The other party's uncle is the top craftsman supervisor.

In terms of position, he is much higher than me.

If you are offended, you will have good fruit to eat when the time comes.

Even though there are all craftsmen inside, the work they do is for the most important departments of the Chu Kingdom.

The number of connections he has is unimaginable.

These days, there are people and sophistication in the world, and there are also people and people in the officialdom.

Therefore, he could only suffer from this loss.

When he walked out, although Wu Youde was complaining in his heart, his expression did not change.

At this time, he heard Qi Shuo next to him say something.

"Brother Zhou, I didn't expect to see each other again, and you're here to do business again." Qi Shuo walked up with a smile, not feeling the bruise on his face was bothering him at all.

Wu Youde also heard what Qi said, subconsciously raised his head and looked along the direction of the sound.

Then, his eyes widened, and he even rubbed them with his hands, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

Zhou Anzheng looked at them with a smile on his face, as if he couldn't help but have fun.

"You, you! Why are you here?"

This time Wu Youde really couldn't hold back. He raised his finger and pointed at Zhou An, with a surprised expression on his face, and he even stuttered a bit when he spoke.

Wu Youde was a little surprised that this policeman who had opposed him when he took office actually appeared in the blacksmith shop.

He didn't understand what was happening now, but he knew that he had made a mistake just now.

Although he is a bit pedantic like a scholar, he is not a fool.

At this time, I also saw the powerful relationship.

Qi Shuo, in particular, had a smile on his face. Even when he was facing himself, he didn't smile so brightly.

Soon, Wu Youde assigned many identities to Zhou An.

A descendant of a big family?

An expert?

Is there anyone up there?

He could only think of these. If he didn't add these, he really couldn't figure out why Qi Shuo came up to him with a smile.

Qi Shuo also heard Wu Youde's words, turned around and said doubtfully: "Master Wu, do you know Brother Zhou?"

To be honest, Qi Shuo is now full of curiosity about Zhou An.

Such an ordinary young man can actually enter and leave the blacksmith shop without getting beaten. There is a lot to explore here.

Qi Shuo is a businessman, and everything is based on profit.

He thought that making friends with Zhou An might be of great use one day.

Wu Youde came back to his senses after listening to Qi Shuo's questions. There was embarrassment on his face, but he quickly covered it up.

"Of course I know him. He is Zhou An. He is an agent of our yamen, but he no longer works. When Zhou An was an agent, he was really conscientious and conscientious. He was a very good agent."

At this time, Wu Youde's words changed.

Zhou An smiled and said: "Master Wu, you are really a noble man who forgets things. Not long ago, you wanted to kill me as a chicken to show to those monkeys. Now I have become an outstanding person in Master Wu's mouth. This world has become It’s so fast.”

Qi Shuo looked left and right. With how smart he was, how could he not understand the meaning of Zhou An's words.

Thinking back to what Wu Youde told him not long ago, a police officer voluntarily resigned from all his posts.

He quickly thought of Zhou An.

Qi Shuo's expression became a little gloomy and he turned to look at Wu Youde.

Obviously thinking about the pros and cons.

To be honest, Wu Youde's actions really made him angry.

When he was in the capital, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce had a broad layout. Considering the mining rights of the mine, it supported Wu Youde.

Actually, in his opinion, Wu Youde is really useless.

Especially after he came to Anding County, the police incident that Wu Youde told him made him feel that Wu Youde was a small person.

Now it seems that the pattern is even smaller.

If you go so crazy to offend a mysterious figure like Zhou An, aren't you asking for trouble for yourself?

Between Wu Youde and Zhou An, Qi Shuo quickly made his choice.

"Master Wu, Mr. Zhou is a very good friend of mine. I hope you will stop causing trouble in the future." Qi Shuo's tone was cold.

Seeing this scene, Zhou An also found it interesting.

Qi Shuo handled this very well, especially the words "good friends", which brought the relationship between the two closer in an instant.

"As expected of a businessman, he is indeed not weak in interpersonal communication." Zhou An thought.

Sweat appeared on Wu Youde's forehead and he quickly agreed: "I didn't know that he was related to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, otherwise I would never have done this. Brother Zhou, what happened last time was my fault. Let's set a table and have a banquet. Brother Zhou, please apologize."

In fact, if they were magistrates from other counties, they wouldn't have to kowtow to Qi Shuo like this.

But he is different.

He knew very well that he now had to rely on the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to climb up.

Momentary humiliation is nothing, and a real man can bend and stretch.

Zhou An looked at Wu Youde's arrogant attitude and felt it was very funny, so he waved his hand.

"Master Wu, you don't have to be so polite. Just don't cause trouble in the future. In addition, you still have to set your sights higher."

He is not a stingy person, and he does not want to cause any conflict with Wu Youde.

It's not necessary after all.

The standing angles between the two sides are already very different, and the heights they stand at are even more different.

The angles and heights were different, and Zhou An found it boring.

Wu Youde's face turned slightly red when he was told this.

But he also knew that Zhou An didn't lose his temper or care, and he was secretly relieved.

"Never offend these humble people in the future."

Wu Youde added a rule to himself in his heart.

"Brother Zhou, since this matter is a misunderstanding, then let it go. But this misunderstanding came from Mr. Wu. As a middleman, I will come to serve a drink. Brother Zhou and I will go have a meal together. How about it?" Qi Shuo's eyes lit up slightly.

This very shrewd man quickly saw an opportunity from this matter.

The identity of the person in front of him is mysterious, but he can be sure that he has a close relationship with Blacksmith Zhao.

It's better to take this opportunity to treat him to a meal, give him something, and build a good relationship with him, so that he can learn about Blacksmith Zhao's preferences.

When the time comes, if you do what you like, maybe it will happen.

Sometimes, just such a simple method may play a decisive role.

Zhou An shook his head: "Let's do it another day, I'm really busy now."

He didn't want to get involved in this matter, and more importantly, he had to seize the time to improve his proficiency. Such social interactions were completely unnecessary.

Qi Shuo is a sensible person, and he heard Zhou An's clear rejection, so he could only sigh: "Then I'll leave first. If Brother Zhou has anything to do in the future, he can go to the Yamen to find Mr. Wu. If Mr. Wu can't handle it, he can go to him again. I."

The melons that are forced are not sweet, at least today is not the right time to force them, so Qi Shuo didn't say much.

Soon, he and Wu Youde left the blacksmith shop.

The guards also left, and the blacksmith shop was deserted.

Zhou An just pushed the door open and walked in.

Before he could speak, Blacksmith Zhao spoke first.

"It turns out that your departure from the county government was related to Wu Youde."

"Old Zhao, I found that you are very good at listening to corners." Zhou An didn't take it seriously and walked to the small anvil.

"You can't say that, I just heard it accidentally." Blacksmith Zhao smiled and said, "Zhou An, how do you feel?"

Zhou An put the red-hot iron on the anvil and started beating it: "How about what?"

Blacksmith Zhao pointed outside: "One can hide one's strength and bide one's time, but one cannot always hide one's strength and bide one's time."

"Just like before, Wu Youde wanted to kill the chicken to honor the monkey."

"But just now, Wu Youde's attitude changed drastically."

"All of these are the reasons for your identity change."

Zhou An hit the hammer a few more times, and red sparks flew everywhere.

"Old Zhao, if you have something to say, say it directly and don't beat around the bush."

Blacksmith Zhao took a step forward: "What I want to say is that when you go to participate in this competition and become a craftsman supervisor, the situation just now will always be there."

At this time, Zhou An also roughly understood.

It turns out that Lao Zhao hasn't given up yet and wants to participate in some bullshit competition.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

At the beginning, Wu Youde's attitude was very arrogant, but when he knew that his identity was uncertain, his attitude became very respectful.

Identity can indeed change a lot of things, and most importantly, it can save a lot of trouble.

But Zhou An is different.

Without this golden finger, Zhou An might really consider it, but with the golden finger, all he thinks about is proficiency.

Identity is brought about by fists.

If the fist is not strong, where does the identity come from?

Therefore, Zhou An just took it as a joke and listened to it without thinking too deeply.

Seeing Zhou An's appearance, Zhao Tiejiang said helplessly: "You really don't want to make a splash. With your talent, even Wu Youde will bow down in front of you after entering."

Zhou An shook his head, but still said nothing, focusing on hammering the iron.

Blacksmith Zhao sighed when he saw this scene.

He knew that he had done useless work just now.

"That's all, leave it to you." Blacksmith Zhao sighed.

Zhou An didn't say anything anymore, and he hammered the iron patiently, his proficiency increasing rapidly.

Time gradually passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was already time for the sun to set.

"laugh!"

After the last iron bar was quenched, Zhou An picked up two arm-length iron bars, compared them carefully, and then put the two iron bars together.

The two iron bars fit tightly together, with no gaps visible, as if they were one piece.

"It's done." Zhou An thought to himself.

In front of his eyes, a line of text appeared.

[Fusion casting method lv.4 (hardness +2, fusion +2): 1/60000]

After such a long time of hard work, the fusion casting method was finally upgraded to level four, obtaining the fusion +2 effect.

A large amount of information was transmitted into his mind, and the Qi in Zhou An's body was partially filled again, and he was infinitely close to the Qi mass.

After a moment, he felt the changes brought about by the fusion casting method.

The hardness is still +2, there is no change in this, but after the +2 fusion, the affinity between him and the things he created has increased again.

Now it has been able to increase its power by 20%.

Zhou An felt that if he faced County Magistrate Chen again, he wouldn't even need to take advantage of the soft armor and directly use the long knife in his hand to cut Magistrate Chen in half.

Regardless of the power of two levels, this is a percentage. The stronger the things you build in the future, the stronger the effect will be.

"You can go back to study." Zhou An stretched out as he looked at the getting late outside.

He said goodbye to Blacksmith Zhao, then left the blacksmith shop and walked towards his home.

Now he plans to upgrade Chef Ding's knife skills to level five, and then upgrade his reading skills to level four.

In this case, in addition to the Chef Ding's knife skills, all other skills can also be level 4, and then we can focus on them one by one.

The road was particularly quiet at night, and Zhou An returned home not long after.

After returning home, he picked up the book he rented from the bookstore and read it carefully.

His proficiency is increasing, and he takes it seriously.

…

On the other side, in the blacksmith shop.

Blacksmith Zhao picked up two arm-long iron bars, looked at the tight fit, and fell into deep thought.

"In a short period of time, he actually succeeded. His talent is simply terrifying."

"I have never seen anyone with such a talent. Not even my uncle has such a talent."

"If word spreads, I guess the master will have to come over and accept a disciple on the spot."

"But it's such a talent. Why should I learn martial arts? It's simply a tyrant!"

"Obviously he can become a future casting master...sigh..."

The more he thought about it, the more helpless Tiejiang Zhao became.

Looking at such a beautiful jade, but this beautiful jade just wants to be a stone, this is what Blacksmith Zhao feels.

Zhou An didn't know about this. If he knew, he would definitely be speechless.

I'm a cheater. Isn't it nonsense for you to talk to me about the Forging Master?

Of course, Tiejiang Zhao had nothing to do with this matter.

Tonight, everyone has different thoughts.

In Yunlai Mansion, which is far away from Anding County, the government officials are working overtime.
