Chapter 25 Heart barrier, bad fate, heart welding
  Gu Jianqiu looked at the black gauntlet on his hand. A few rays of blue electric light burst out from the gaps in the mechanical knuckles and slowly disappeared in the air.

The ECG did not increase and was still 14 standard ECGs.

What was the problem? Every time he discussed with the gym owner in the past, even if there was no immediate improvement, Gu Jianqiu could clearly feel the activity of his heartbeat.

But this time it was a mud cow entering the sea.

Based on Gu Jianqiu's previous life experience, he probably encountered a mental obstacle.

If a person practices hard every day and even spends a lot of money to ask eminent monks for initiation and nourishment, his heart will stagnate for a long time without any growth. This is most likely due to a mental blockage, similar to the bottleneck period of practicing martial arts in martial arts novels.

As for when each person will encounter mental obstacles, there is no rule to follow. It may be related to each person's experience, the method he practices, and his talent.

Some unlucky souls may not even reach the threshold of Level 1 Heavenly Official, but only encounter mental obstacles one step at a time. Twenty standard ECGs encounter four or five mental obstacles or even more. The road to spiritual practice is extremely bumpy. This situation has never happened in history. happened before.

In Gu Jianqiu's impression, his first mental disorder in his previous life should have been after passing the Level III Heavenly Official Examination. His ECG value stayed at 89 for a full year and a half without any progress.

But this time, he actually encountered a mental block at fourteen o'clock, which was completely beyond Gu Jianqiu's expectation and disrupted his plan.

It should be because of the psychic antique.

There is no good way to break through mental barriers. You can only rely on hard work or chance epiphany. The more eager you are for quick success, the harder it will be to break through.

However, Gu Jianqiu didn't pay too much attention to it. The higher the ECG level, the harder it was to break through the mental barrier. The mental barrier of 14-point ECG could always be improved with hard work in the next few months. He originally planned to wait until he had fifteen standard ECGs and could make "that thing" before going to trouble Longpi and the others. It would be foolproof. But now it was too late and he would have to take some risks.

He took off his gauntlet and put it away. He looked up and looked at the one-man shop in front of him. Since Tom Chen had Gu Jianqiu, a cheap and easy-to-use labor force, he has completely become a hands-off shopkeeper. He is not in the shop most of the time. At first, it was still early and late. He came twice to check the materials and bills, and then he only came once every two or three days. Every day he was either in a brothel or a dog farm. In the past half month, Gu Jianqiu Luo had only seen him five times in total.

In other words, Gu Jianqiu is actually the only one in charge of Hualong Individual Soldiers.

In this one-man shop, not counting master-crafted cold weapons and collectible crossbows, there are more than fifty samples of long and short firearms, more than three hundred rounds of various types of bullets, twenty samples of offensive grenades, and there is also a store upstairs It is a completely disassembled combat exoskeleton. Even if Gu Jianqiu does not have enough mental power to control it, just dismantling the two Vulcan cannons mounted on it and setting it up at the entrance of the alley is already a full-scale killing weapon.

Of course, Gu Jianqiu doesn't intend to rush into the Yiyuan dog farm with a suit of long and short guns and play the role of a lone hero. After all, he is now the breadwinner of a family. He is a good son born on his mother planet, a gentle and thrifty university student, and is no longer the same as in his previous life. The lone maniac who could assassinate the planetary governor with a homemade bomb.

jingle!

The bell at the door jingled.

A delicate mixed-race face poked its head in from the door. Her eyes wandered back and forth in the store, and finally settled on Gu Jianqiu.

"Jianqiu, you are really here!"

It's Juliet.

In the past half month, she has been running to Gu's house frequently, bringing small cheap gifts from time to time, and occasionally chatting with Gu's mother about home affairs, but other than that she has done nothing else.

"How did you find it?"

Gu Jianqiu was a little surprised. The number of patrolling military police on this street was the largest in the entire Jiangning city. Someone like Juliet, who usually wears gorgeous clothes and smells of laudanum on her body, would be driven away as a prostitute and would be unlikely to come near this place. .

Juliet hurriedly entered the door. She didn't know where she found a black cloak. She was wearing a loose felt hat and sunglasses. From a distance, she couldn't even tell the difference between male and female.

Juliet closed the door furtively, approached Gu Jianqiu, and took his arm: "Jianqiu, can you lend me some money."

"How much do you want?"

"I promise just this once, I've learned. Really, really. Please, huh?"

Juliet did not expect Gu Jianqiu to agree so readily.

Gu Jianqiu took out the arm held in her arms. "When you were with my eldest brother, I saw it in my eyes. I knew you were sincere to my eldest brother. You quit your job to be a waiter and even quit laudanum. During that time, my eldest sister had almost accepted you. , after my eldest brother died... Once, I wanted to sort out his belongings. When I arrived at your door, I found you lying on the sofa, crying and laughing, looking at my eldest brother's photo and smoking opium. It was I who took this I told my eldest sister what happened, and she broke up with you."

He took out his wallet and counted out a thick wad of bills.

"Sister Hua Ting, I really don't hate you, but I don't want my family to associate with people who smoke laudanum anymore."

Gu Jianqiu put the money into Juliet's hand and looked directly into the woman's eyes: "Don't come to us again. This is the last time."

Juliet lowered her head and clutched the wad of money. She knew that Gu Jianqiu was not joking. This gentle young man who had just graduated from college was far from as soft-hearted as he seemed. This could only be the last time. She was a little at a loss and wanted to cry but she held it back. She wanted to return the money to Gu Jianqiu but was reluctant to do so. Finally, she said hoarsely: "Thank you, I will pay back the money as soon as possible."

"No, no need to pay it back. I mean, this is the last time we meet."

Juliet's eyes were unfocused, and she nodded: "Oh, okay, for the last time, I understand."

After saying that, she clutched a wad of money, pressed her felt hat and left.

Gu Jianqiu watched Juliet leave and lowered his head to prepare to count the accounts. Unexpectedly, Tom Chen Feng burst in and made the bells jingle loudly. He also had a face-to-face encounter with Juliet.

"boss."

Tom Chen turned to look at Juliet who was leaving quickly. When he heard Gu Jianqiu's words, he turned around and pointed at the door: "Female?"

"Guest, I didn't buy anything."

"Impossible! Female!"

Tom Chen lowered his voice: "Yours?"

"No."

"Why are you pretending to be with me?"

Tom Chen had a bad smile on his face: "I looked sideways~ It's not bad! You guys can do it. Did you borrow the money for her?"

"She is a smoker and I don't know her very well."

Gu Jianqiu didn't even raise his head.

"Oh, forget it, it's okay to have fun, but I advise you to be careful."

"Boss, why don't you come back so early?

As soon as Gu Jianqiu reminded him, Tom Chen reacted: "Big business is coming. I'll go upstairs to prepare while you go make a pot of tea."

"Big business."

Gu Jianqiu deliberately changed the topic.

"Boy, why do you think I can open a one-man shop in the Far East? Do you really think I can only bet on dogs and prostitutes? You don't even bother to inquire about the modification industry in Jiangning."

As expected, Tom Chen put Juliet behind and started bragging about himself.

"Don't you teach everything in the natural history department? Have you ever heard of heart welding?"
