Sword Sorcery

Chapter 4 Improvement
"Ding~, the structural optimization of "Circle Cross Knight's Breathing Method Part [-]" has been completed, and the expected results are as follows——"

"After the host runs the breathing method correctly five times, it will increase its strength by 0.25 points, agility by 0.3 points, and constitution by 0.27 points. The effect will be weakened as the number of operations increases, and the operation time of the breathing method will be reduced from 2 hours to 38 minutes. Note: This breathing method has the effect of warming and nourishing body organs and tissues, and it is estimated that after the host reaches the quasi-knight stage, the lifespan will be permanently increased by 3 years."

"Ask the host to rename the improved new breathing method."

A series of messages flowed through Aaron's field of vision, and Aaron nodded in satisfaction. He did not expect the function of the zero chip to be so powerful.

Not only has the flawed knight breathing method been improved and optimized to greatly enhance its effectiveness, but the number of times required to run the breathing method has also been greatly reduced—the knight breathing method that only needs to be operated thirteen times to be effective has been improved so that it can only be used correctly. The new version of the knight breathing method with great effect can be achieved by running it five times.

This No. [-] chip is indeed the top-level embedded VR smart chip that Aaron led dozens of top elites in the embedded industry in his previous life. , Let Aaron benefit endlessly at this moment.

Moreover, Aaron ordered the chip to scan his body last night, and found that there were no electronic modules in his body. It seems that the zero chip was indeed completely integrated with the soul, and even the chip had a mysterious change that he could not explain clearly.

The current upper limit of the chip's ability is determined by the host's body and soul. For example, the function of scanning the surrounding things actually depends on Aaron's five senses. If the sensory functions such as smell and vision are stronger, the chip will The scanning range is also larger.

Including abilities such as logical analysis and data calculation also depend on the strength of Aaron's soul. If Aaron has a way to improve his soul strength, I am afraid that the analysis ability of the chip will also increase accordingly.

Originally, the chip has an extremely powerful data analysis capability. If it can continue to improve, it is indeed a rather terrifying thing. However, the perception and improvement method of the soul is still a mystery. At least in Aaron's memory, the current body There seems to be no record of 'soul' in this country or even on this continent.

Shaking his head and throwing away the irrelevant reverie in his mind, Aaron began to order the chip:
"Since the original name of this knight's breathing method is 'Circle Cross', then the new version of breathing method is called 'Reverse Cross'!"

"Ding~, the new breathing method is named "Reverse Cross Knight Breathing Method Part [-]", and the corresponding document has been created, and the document has been stored in the database."

Aaron continued to order: "No. Zero, check the external monitoring situation yesterday, and focus on checking whether anyone has approached my room when I was sleeping at night?"

Before going to sleep last night, Aaron specifically told the chip to monitor the sound, and wake him up immediately if there is an accident, to ensure that when anyone approaches the room, he can wake up in the first time - if not, he Don't dare to sleep peacefully under the nose of some malicious enemy hidden around.

"Drip~, according to the sound monitoring last night, after the host fell asleep yesterday, no one has approached the room."

Hearing this, Aaron shook his head in disappointment. It seemed that he couldn't figure out how he was poisoned for the time being, so he got up first, stretched himself, and walked out of bed.

Opening the door, the dimly bright morning light in the distance illuminated the originally dark village, and a chilly morning breeze blew past, making Aaron shrank his neck involuntarily and walked out of the house.

At this moment, the doors of several adjacent rooms happened to open one after another, and muscular men and women came out—they were the city guards who maintained good work and rest habits.

"Aaron? You got up so early today?"

A young man with blond hair, a relatively delicate face, straight facial features, and fair skin with many large pores said to Aaron curiously.

Aaron quickly recognized his identity based on his memory—George, the only young man in the city guard group who had a good relationship with Aaron, although he was not a close brother, he could still be called friendly relationship.

"Well, I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I woke up earlier today." Aaron responded while observing the expressions of several other city guards.

Sure enough, upon hearing Aaron's words, several other people showed different expressions, especially a strong man with a beard, who showed a hint of disdain on his face, and muttered:
"Hmph~, you spoiled spoil, no wonder you can't get used to a hard bed."

Although the voice of the strong man was silent, it was heard clearly in everyone's ears, and an awkward atmosphere began to pervade among the crowd. Just when George wanted to say something for Aaron, he lived not far from the sentry room. Macaulay, the village head in the distance, happened to come over and shouted:

"Everyone, breakfast is ready."

Seeing this, the other city guards didn't have the leisure to continue talking to Aaron, the nominal team leader, and walked to the long table full of breakfast in front of the village chief's house, ready to start eating breakfast.

The village is small, with a population of just over 100.Under Viscount Steve's command, there are seven villages, one castle and one small town, and this village is the weakest settlement among them, so the city guards who come to work are basically one group—a total of six soldiers, Unlike other places, two or three groups or even a brigade are required to be stationed and supervised at every turn.

The village here is not only small, but even the houses are not big enough to accommodate seven people including the village head to have breakfast together. We can only build two square tables into long tables and place them in the open space at the door of the house for breakfast. Soldiers on duty eat.

The long table was covered with black bread and freshly squeezed milk. After several other city guards sat down, they immediately picked up things and stuffed them. Aaron and George also walked to the table and sat down. After Lun picked up a piece of black bread and chewed it in his mouth, his brows frowned——

too hard.

This kind of rough black bread, which is made from the mixture of the cortex, germ and other bran that has been crushed during the milling process, perfectly interprets the concept of the word 'black, thick and hard', and it is no worse than yesterday Aaron swallowed much worse sawdust.

You know, Aaron was a modern person living in the 21st century in his previous life, and he was also a technical elite with a high salary. How could he have eaten such rough things?It's just tasteless is not enough to describe.

Aaron hurriedly picked up the fresh milk on the dining table, gulped down the piece of black bread reluctantly, and also because when chewing the black bread, he accidentally touched the side of his lip that he had bitten to swallow the sawdust yesterday. Flesh, and his expression was even more distorted.

This look fell on the eyes of the bearded man sitting opposite, causing a strong disdain to appear on the face of the strong man, and he said in a low voice: "What a pampered relationship household."

This bearded and strong man is called Bruce, a city guard who belongs to Aaron's group. He is probably in his early 20s. He also deliberately taunted Aaron when he was at the door of the room.

This time, Bruce's whispers were also not concealed in the slightest. Even if the voice was not very loud, it was clearly heard by everyone.

Together with the village chief Macaulay who was eating at the dining table, they couldn’t help giving a meal when they heard the words, and hurriedly pretended to be deaf who didn’t hear anything, and continued to eat with their heads down—because years of life experience made him Macaulay knows when to pretend to be normal and when to pretend to be deaf.

There were a few village children standing in the distance around the dining table, watching the black bread and fresh milk in the hands of Aaron and the others with envious and greedy eyes, licking their dry lips from time to time, and making hoarse wriggles from their throats.

The rough black bread despised by Aaron is the most delicious food in this village—even though these are made of wheat flour mixed with a lot of bran and directly baked without sifting, it is It is much better than the kind of real 'dark bread' that is mixed with a lot of sawdust and pebbles by unscrupulous bakers.

At least, you won’t spit out a bloody tooth that was broken by small stones halfway through eating, and all the civilians can eat are dark bread made by black-hearted bakers——

That is the real 'dark bread', representing the feudal system and class oppression that symbolized the bloody darkness of the Middle Ages.

Even so, there are still most of the civilians who can't even eat this kind of dark bread - it takes a lot of firewood to bake bread, and the baking process is also very troublesome, which is simply unaffordable for the commoners.

Therefore, common people eat a food that is worse than black bread-wheat paste, which is to pour some rough wheat flour directly into a bowl, add some hot water to make wheat paste and eat it directly.If you have the conditions to get some wild vegetables and wild animal meat, they will be put into the pot and stewed together, which is a bit similar to what is used to feed pigs in pig farms in the 21st century.
(PS: Theoretically, the wheat flour for making wheat paste can also be classified as a kind of flour, but the wheat flour for making black bread will be symbolically filtered at any rate, and this kind of wheat flour is directly crushed with wheat without filtering at all No matter how you look at it, it cannot be called the word 'flour'.)
Apparently, what Aaron and the others ate was already the top food in this village. After all, they represented the nobles' supervisors over the territories under their command, and the village chief did not dare to neglect them in the slightest.

Because of Bruce's mocking words, an awkward atmosphere permeated the table again.

Fortunately, seeing the situation was not good, George changed the topic in time and said, "Hey~, we are unlucky this time, and we happened to be assigned to this poor place for a week."

Simon next to him couldn't help echoing the words: "That's right, I heard that Duncan and the others were assigned to duty in Duolong Town this week. It's really fat there~ Don't say they eat white bread every day. There's even honey to smear slices of bread"

Simon was a red-haired young man with a big nose. Next to him were two other city guards, Bob, a young guard with brown hair, and Ella, the only female guard in the group, who had a rather 'rough' appearance.

These words reminded Bob and Ella of the good old days when they went to work in Rudin Township, and they couldn't help but agree with each other. At the same time, they also felt that the black bread in their hands was so unpalatable, and it became more and more unpalatable.

At the same time, Aaron turned a deaf ear to Bruce's low-pitched ridicule, and while trying his best to chew the unpalatable black bread, he ordered to the chip: "Number Zero, scan the physical fitness of the people around you, I need their details."

"Drip~, scanning now."

"The scan is complete, the data is as follows—"

Aaron looked at the data of everyone displayed on the chip in the field of vision, and suddenly there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he couldn't help but groaned softly: "Huh?!"
