Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 699: Escape from the vicious cycle

As a time traveler, Zhou Xu has seen all kinds of strange people, especially the Internet, which is a place that can highlight the lower limits of human beings.

Without experiencing the baptism of those places, you will never know how low the lower limit of human beings can be.

To some extent, human nature can be regarded as the most complicated thing in the world.

In comparison, whether it is the humans within their Great Zhou, or the prairie elves like Hilke, or even the lizard people living in the rain forest, they are all too simple.

Due to the backlash he suffered yesterday, Zhou Xu had no plans to test the mantra today. In the remaining half day, he basically did some simple work, then finished his dinner and rested early.

Two days later, the people in Blackstone City basically adapted to the existence of the Great Zhou Army in this very short period of time.

Just as Da Zhou's patrols themselves advertised, from the moment they entered the city, they did not harm any civilians, and even set up porridge stalls at various city gates to give out porridge twice a day.

The same porridge was given. When Yan Sheng was still there, in order to stabilize the situation in the city, he did the same thing, but it was once a day, and the porridge was as thin as a clear soup, and the quantity was still small. Not full.

Compared with the fragrant white porridge at Da Zhou Porridge Stall, it is a stark comparison.

In addition, the Dazhou soldiers who patrol the city every day never bully others. They even take the initiative to help some people when they see that they need help.

In just a few days, the fear in the eyes of the people of Black Rock City when they looked at the soldiers of Great Zhou Dynasty had faded a lot.

The little bits and pieces accumulated in the daily life allowed the Zhou army headed by Zhou Xu to quickly gather the hearts of the people here.

From the perspective of a bystander, Zhang Jingyan saw everything that happened in Black Rock City these days.

After handling all the trivial matters and packing the necessary things, Zhang Jingyan packed his bags and left the home where he had lived for almost half his life.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the sky in Black Rock City that had been gloomy for most of the month quietly cleared up today.

Bathed in the morning sunshine, Zhang Jingyan no longer had any doubts in his mind and strode towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Jingyan is here."

After hearing Silk's report, Zhou Xu nodded, and went directly to greet him in person as a sign of importance.

When Zhang Jingyan saw this, he was immediately flattered.

Some people in Black Stone City may not know it yet, but he knows that he is the king of Great Zhou!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingyan quickly stepped forward and knelt down.

"The humble minister Zhang Jingyan comes to see your Majesty!"

"Jing Yan doesn't need to be polite."

In words, the relationship between the two of them as king and minister has been established, and it is already inappropriate to call him sir.

Afterwards, Zhou Xu also asked Zhang Jingyan to quickly check on Huo Qubing's condition.

After Zhang Jingyan did some simple checks, he asked Huo Qubing how he felt.

As a senior medicine dispenser, after taking the medicine for the past three days, his own feelings were quite obvious, because he found that his condition was much better.

This surprised Zhang Jingyan.

This kind of thing is normal for a healthy ordinary person, but Huo Qubing is too weak and has poor recovery ability.

Ever since he was a child, no matter what kind of illness he got, it would be difficult for him to get better without taking medicine for five days or seven days. It would be even worse if he did not take medicine for ten days and a half. Even if he was sick for a month, it would not be the same. What a strange thing. "The efficacy of this new prescription is so much better?"

Facing Zhang Jingyan's exclamation, the doctor Da Zhou beside him felt proud, but after thinking about it for a while, he still expressed a possibility that came to his mind.

"Our medicine is more effective. This may be one of the reasons. Another reason is probably because he was blessed by our king."

"Blessing?"

This vocabulary made both Zhang Jingyan and Huo Qubing a little confused.

In response, the doctor Zhou raised his head proudly.

"Our king is the chosen one by God, and he also has magical powers, so that every one of his subjects can receive his blessings."

"Of course, how much blessing we can get depends on ourselves."

"It is specifically reflected in various aspects such as better vision, faster speed, stronger physical fitness, etc."

Zhang Jingyan was fascinated by what Dr. Zhou said.

Although he knew about the Chosen One and had seen the god-like mantra method, he had never seen such a method that could improve the physical quality of the citizens by giving 'blessings'.

This also made it difficult for him to believe it all at once.

Compared to Zhang Jingyan, Huo Qubing fell into deep contemplation after hearing these words.

"I'm afraid it's true. It's really the king's blessing that has improved my physical condition!"

At the end of the story, Huo Qubing's face turned a little rosy due to his excitement. This situation was very rare for him who had always been ill.

As he spoke, feeling Zhang Jingyan's curious gaze, Huo Qubing quickly told the other party that on the day he took the drug, he felt that his physical condition had improved inexplicably.

"At that time, I thought it was an illusion caused by my excitement. Now it seems that it is the king's blessing that has worked on me!"

It's no wonder that Huo Qubing was so excited at this time. You must know that for him, who is inherently deficient, it is really difficult to improve his physical fitness.

Originally, he was completely trapped in a vicious cycle.

Because of congenital deficiencies and frail health, he cannot work hard.

But if you don't work hard, you won't be able to effectively improve your physical fitness through exercise. You can't even take a few more bites of a meal. He may not be able to digest it and develop diseases.

And this has always made him weak and sickly.

Good guy, if you go around in a circle, isn't it a vicious circle?
But the blessing from their king ushered in a turning point for him, giving him a chance to get out of this vicious cycle! How could this not make Huo Qubing excited?
[It doesn’t look like he was faking his illness, and the fact that his condition improved significantly after just taking the medicine for three days cannot be faked. 】

[Your Majesty, does he really have such god-like methods? Then should I also...]

At this thought, Zhang Jingyan couldn't help but look down at himself.

But he didn't seem to have any clear feelings.

I don't know if he saw Zhang Jingyan's thoughts, but Doctor Da Zhou on the side smiled and answered.

"This little brother feels so obviously because his body has been in a weak state all year round. For those of us with normal physical fitness, unless we engage in high-intensity exercise and have a full understanding of our physical strength, otherwise It’s hard to feel that any aspect of your body has been strengthened.”
