Chapter 34 The First Piece of Firewood

The vote will come soon.

Option one [37]

Option two [3]

Option three [5]

With such a disparity, Qin Ze also decided to agree to the other party.

[The system is screening the messages with the most likes for you]

[Fan Shuyuan: Before the coach decides to invite you to participate in the competition, a flash of reckless determination flashes in his eyes, indicating that this matter is very important to him. Before agreeing, he might as well ask for more benefits, inquire about some information or something]

Qin Ze looked at the message, then looked at Wang Yu again: "Competition? What competition?"

"It's the swordsmanship competition held every three years in our city. All kendo halls can participate. It can be regarded as a tradition passed down by the older generation decades ago."

"That's it. Why do you want me to participate? Why don't you go by yourself?"

Wang Yu smiled helplessly: "The competition is divided into two rounds. The first is the contest between the gymnasium owners. Of course I can handle this, but after that, I have to select two apprentices from each sword hall to participate in the competition. It is to compare the teaching standards of various gymnasiums, and as you can see, my sword gym has been unable to recruit people since the old man passed away."

Hearing this, Qin Ze probably understood: "So, you want me to compete with you as an apprentice of [Wang Chengming Sword Gym]?"

"Ah."

"But I'm just new to swordsmanship. You want me to fight, aren't you afraid that I'll be chopped off as soon as I come on?"

Wang Yu frowned and hesitated for a while, and finally sighed a little embarrassedly: "Well, although I don't want to admit it, but you are the most talented young man I have ever seen, I think if I try my best come to train you, after that half a month, you might really be able to compete with others on stage."

This was the first time Wang Yu praised Qin Ze outspokenly, but Qin Ze didn't show surprise at all, just nodded very flatly.

"Then I have another question. You said that two apprentices need to be selected for the competition. Who is the other person?"

"My daughter."

"Huh?" Qin Ze was taken aback.

"What's the surprise? I don't look like I have a daughter?"

Qin Ze looked at Wang Yu silently, his eyes lingering for a few seconds between his flowing posture and the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks.
To be honest, not only did he think that Wang Yu didn't look like he had a daughter, he even thought he didn't look like a man with a wife at all.

Moreover, there are really violent sports where fathers let their daughters learn swordsmanship.

But Qin Ze didn't care about these things at all, he just let the flow take its course and skipped this topic, and then raised a very important question.

"I can participate in the competition, you are not afraid, and I naturally have no worries, but what is the bonus? How to divide it?"

"This." Wang Yu didn't expect Qin Ze to be so realistic at all: "The bonus is only available if you reach the top five, the higher the ranking, the bigger the reward naturally.

As for No.1, the rewards are different for each session. Last year it was a slashing sword that had been passed down for 70 years in the Xihong Sword Gym. The year before last, it seemed to be a two-handed cross sword actual combat video collected by the Swordsmanship Association. The kind that cannot be spread.

But our strength doesn't need to consider these, it is very difficult to enter the top five, but if you are lucky, the sword gym will be divided into 7%, and the rest will be yours. "

"No! Fifty-five points."

"What?!" Wang Yu groaned.

In fact, Qin Ze didn't care about the bonus at all, but it was said in the message that he was asked to try to raise the price, so he followed suit.

"I said, I think fifty-fifty." He said flatly.

Wang Yu frowned, the other party's request was too much, how could an apprentice dare to offer a [-]/[-] price with the sword gym?But thinking about it again, there is only half a month left, and it is impossible to recruit another student, and no matter how strong this kid is, it is impossible to really make it into the top five.

Fortunately, Wang Yu nodded: "Okay, you said 6-11 is [-]-[-], but from today onwards, you will come to train for five hours from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] every night, and there is no rest day , for half a month, can you do it?"

"Yes." Qin Ze didn't even hesitate, just dropped the word, pushed open the door of the sword hall, and disappeared from Wang Yu's sight.

Wang Yu looked at the disappearing figure, and his face became increasingly difficult to look: "Damn it. If a brat praises him a few times, he doesn't know how powerful he is! Let's see how I deal with him when he comes tomorrow!"

Under the night, Qin Ze got into a taxi and drove towards home.

He didn't pay too much attention to the fencing competition. Since he agreed, he just needs to train more seriously and fight harder. He can use this opportunity to improve his actual combat ability.

As for the ranking and rewards of the competition, that will be half a month later.

Soon, Qin Ze returned home, and now he was more concerned about the piece of paper in his pocket.

It's the one after Guan Gu's graffiti.

At 11:45, Qin Ze was sitting at home with a small basin in front of him, holding the piece of paper in his left hand and a lighter in his right.

There was a "click".
He pressed the button of the duster, and a small flame ignited, flickering quietly in front of his eyes.

"Firewood. It should be used for burning," Qin Ze murmured, and then brought the piece of paper closer to the flame.

The two collided. The flames slowly spread on the paper, and then gradually devoured it.

Qin Ze put the lit paper into a small basin and watched it gradually turn into ashes
then nothing happened
"???" Qin Ze was stunned: "It's over?"

Is this gone?

He waited for a while, but still nothing happened, just like an ordinary piece of paper after it was set on fire.

Qin Ze didn't know what this meant. Shouldn't this piece of paper be set on fire?
Or, something has happened, but I haven't noticed it yet?

However, speaking from a theoretical point of view, the most likely situation should be that all this is just my own wishful thinking.

Maybe Guan Gu's death was a simple incident of jumping off a building.

Maybe the "firewood" in his mouth has nothing to do with games at all, it's just the nonsense of a student with secondary illness.

It's all a coincidence
However, [fire] is mentioned in the game, and the word [firewood] appears around the real world. No matter how you think about it, there should be no connection between the two.

Qin Ze thought about it for a while, but he didn't have any clue.

The time has come to 12 o'clock.

At this time, the advantage of Qin Ze's character of "not paying attention to everything" was revealed. He actually didn't care about this result at all. Anyway, it was burned.
When it's time to go to bed, go to bed first.

That's it. Qin Ze really went to bed.

After the defensive training in the sword gym, Qin Ze was sore all over. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep in a few minutes.

However... this time he was very strange not to directly enter the game world.

Instead, feel yourself falling.

As the weightlessness deepened, he felt fire starting to appear around him.
Burning, endless fire!
In the flames, there were howls and howls, and the smell of burnt flesh and bones shot straight into the sky, as if all the lives in the world had become fuel to fill the flames. While they were burning, they knelt down on the ground, holding their hands Holding it up, like devout believers, praying in a certain direction, as if being able to burn themselves is a gift for them.

At the same time, a few lines of words that he didn't quite understand appeared before Qin Ze's eyes:

【You have found a piece of firewood with an unextinguished primordial fire attached to it. You prepare:】

[Option [-]: You are proud and powerful, and always believe in yourself, so use this precarious firewood to ignite yourself, and you will gain incredible power. 】

[Option [-]: You are gentle and cautious, willing to believe in this world, so use this precarious firewood to give the world a little warmth, and you will get a gift from this world. 】
