Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 13: Thank You, Stranger A

Zhu Yan wanted to return to her family home, and Wei Mao had no objections. However, letting him take Lu Bei to the military camp was absolutely not allowed.

The military camp was a restricted area, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

As the county magistrate of Great Victory Pass, Wei Mao was in charge of all military affairs. He should set a good example to prevent others from imitating and damaging the military's reputation.

Therefore, this was not a matter of feasibility, but a matter of principle.

And then he was caught.

Wei Mao led the troops to suppress the rebellion, but they were defeated by Zhu Clan's female general, resulting in a complete defeat.

A defeated general cannot be praised for bravery, and the matter of principle is no longer a problem.

The next day, when Wei Mao was about to leave, he needed Lu Bei's household registration certificate to issue him a temporary pass, so that he could enter and leave the military camp in accordance with the rules.

Previously, Lu Bei did not have a household registration certificate, but Zhu Yan helped him obtain one, simplifying the troublesome procedures by directly registering him at Nine Bamboo Mountain Three Pristine Peak.

Upon learning that Zhu Yan was going back to her family home and he would have to stay in the military camp for half a month, Lu Bei gladly agreed. He had gained a month's worth of experience and indeed needed a change of environment to rest.

Unlike in his previous life when playing games, where alchemy had an automatic mode and he could just leave it running, now he had to do everything manually and there was no comparison.

Whenever he thought about this, Lu Bei couldn't help but sigh. It felt so real. If it weren't for the occasional reminders from the panel, he would have thought that he had transmigrated into a world with abundant spiritual energy.

In the afternoon, Lu Bei, who had gained 10,000 experience points in anger, found Lin Bohai and asked for half a month off.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell or just tired and need some rest?" Lin Bohai immediately showed concern upon hearing this.

"I am indeed a bit tired, and since my cousin is going back to her family home for a while, I thought I might as well take a break too."

"Do you have any plans for the next half month? Should I find a few nephews to accompany you around Great Victory Pass?" Lin Bohai joked, "You know about Cloud River Tower, right? You young people can go there together. As for me, I'm getting old and can only think about it!"

"Hehehe..." x2

Lu Bei smiled nostalgically. This familiar conversation reminded him of the time when he used to work in an office. Every month, there would be one or two days when they would go out together after work and have some fun.

"Then it's settled?"

"Not good."

Lu Bei shook his head and narrowly saved his upright image, politely declining, "My cousin is afraid that I will learn bad things, so she asked her husband to keep a close eye on me. I will have to stay in the military camp for the next half month, and it will be difficult for me to go out."

"I see..."

Lin Bohai expressed regret. He agreed to discuss another time and quickly transmitted the information about Lu Bei's departure from the east to the Alchemy Room.

Something went wrong!

Something big happened!

The undercover agents sent from above were wrapping up their work. Not only did they issue a final ultimatum, but they also contacted the garrison of Great Victory Pass. It seemed like they were going to wipe them all out.

Lin Bohai was in a panic. After delivering the message, he repeatedly slapped his right hand, even causing it to turn red.

"I told you not to be impulsive! I told you to control yourself! Why... Why can't I control you!"

...

Wei Mao acted swiftly and efficiently. After issuing the pass, he sent his personal guards to bring Lu Bei to the military camp that same evening.

As the administrative center of Eastern Qi County, Great Victory District was governed by the county magistrate, assisted by a county lieutenant who was in charge of all military affairs in the county, including Great Victory Pass.

In addition, there was also a county inspector who was responsible for supervising the administrative affairs of the county magistrate and others.

In other words, Wei Mao had many superiors, and compared to other county lieutenants, he had less freedom in commanding and dispatching.

Fortunately, as the county lieutenant in charge of all military affairs, Wei Mao had delegated the authority over Great Victory Pass and the garrison to others, treating the military camp as his second home and only carrying out his supervisory duties when ordered by the county lieutenant.

He seemed very sensible and would make a good official.

To get back on track, two guards led Lu Bei to the county's eastern military camp.

As they passed the training ground, Lu Bei saw soldiers training under the light of the lamps. Hundreds of men stood in neat formations, bare-chested, and began sparring in pairs with a loud command. He felt a strong sense of... no, a strong sense of fierceness.

They were really fighting.

Whenever a soldier was defeated, he would be dragged off the field, take Qi Accumulation Pills and Blood Replenishing Pills, and then return to the field to continue fighting until exhausted.

"No wonder the Alchemy Room has to deliver pills to the military camp every day. The consumption is really extraordinary. Speaking of which, there is also a daily supply of 'Hemostasis Pills.' I wonder if they are actually using real weapons in the military camp?"

Lu Bei was puzzled. Under the guidance of a guard, he arrived at Wei Mao's residence in the military camp.

The good news was that as the leader of the military camp, Wei Mao enjoyed the privilege of having a single room. The bad news was that Wei Mao himself was not there, as if he had the intention of leaving Lu Bei unattended for half a month.

Bai Jin had never mentioned Lu Bei's cultivation aptitude to Zhu Yan. He only mentioned the repair of the Ascension Gate and couldn't even find a place to stay. It was inconvenient for him in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, so he asked Zhu Yan to take care of him for a while.

Apart from repeatedly warning, "The outside world is dangerous, don't let the junior apprentice go out, he will learn bad things," there is no further explanation.

In the Alchemy Room, Lin Bohai had suspicions in his heart and didn't dare to mention Lu Bei in front of Zhu Yan.

Therefore, Zhu Yan is not aware of Lu Bei's talent. She only allowed Lu Bei to stay at her place because she trusted Bai Jin to return to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect to solve the remaining historical problems.

Zhu Yan is not aware, and Wei Mao is even less aware. He just threw Lu Bei into his residence and let him do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't make mistakes or disappear.

To raise freely.

Without seeing Wei Mao, Lu Bei assumed that he never leaves his side and is a strict military officer. Out of self-discipline, Lu Bei practiced the Demon-Slaying Sutra for ten minutes.

[ Demon-Slaying Sutra Lv1 (12/5000) ]

His skills greatly improved, gaining two experience points in anger.

Lu Bei nodded secretly. Data cannot be falsified. He had been diligently cultivating the Demon-Slaying Sutra for a month through alchemy, even though he was mentally exhausted. His perseverance was admirable.

A night passed, and Lu Bei didn't see Wei Mao. He didn't mind and expressed his respect for Wei Mao's professionalism.

A day passed, and Lu Bei still didn't see Wei Mao. He was surprised and expressed his respect once again.

Three days passed, and Lu Bei still didn't see Wei Mao. He was greatly alarmed. Something bad had happened. Wei Shixiong took advantage of Zhu Shijie's return to her family and was fooling around outside.

Pushing open the door, Lu Bei saw a guard standing at the door like a javelin, causing him a headache.

During these three days, he had finished reading the military strategy books in the room and used 50 Skill Points to learn a set of basic military formation knife techniques, raising it to level five as an attack skill.

[ Formation Cutting Knife Art Lv5 (10/12000) ]

[ Derived from the basic knife techniques summarized by the soldiers in the Wu Zhou army, suitable for battle formations and teamwork, with power bonuses ]

[ +10% basic attack, +2% critical strike ]

Because learning "Formation Cutting Knife Art" had a strength requirement of 5 points, Lu Bei used up 3 Free Attribute Points, completely abandoning his previous 233333.

The strange basic attributes were just like a joke.

With the experience gained, Formation Cutting Knife Art reached level 5, and Free Attribute Points increased by 4, strength increased by 8, speed increased by 4, Skill Points...

Attributes: Strength 13, Speed 7, Spirit 10, Endurance 12, Charm 3, Luck 3

With the experience accumulated, Lu Bei's previously weak strength and speed attributes immediately looked much better, and his basic attack power increased to 130 damage.

As an illustrative example, he could now kill himself with a single slash.

Outside the door, the guard soldier stared at Lu Bei with unwavering eyes, not saying a word, pointing at the room, indicating that he should stay inside.

Lu Bei rolled his eyes. He knew that waiting in the military camp was like being in a small dark room. It would be better to stay in the Alchemy Room and gain experience, or at worst, go back to Zhu Yan's family and meet other girls and daughters-in-law of the Zhu family.

According to their bloodline, they were all princesses.

"Hey, young man, I am a relative of General Wei. I'm not a criminal. Is it too much to go out for a walk?"

"Not too much, but the General said he feels more at ease with you inside the room."

"Understood, so I can go out."

Lu Bei sighed deeply. Bored, he said, "Then tell me, where can I wander around? The training ground or the storage area?"

"The storage area is off-limits. You can't go anywhere except the forge for repairing armor."

"Then the forge it is." Lu Bei shrugged, making up his mind. As soon as he had a chance, he would secretly climb over a wall and escape.

"Why are you going to the forge? You don't know how to forge, do you?"

"I'll learn just by watching."

"You're really good at bluffing. If you have the ability, forge two steel knives for me to see." The guard saw through his lie with a single glance.

Lu Bei: "..."

He didn't respond not because he couldn't argue back. With his talent, he could pick up a book on forging and start right away, using a good steel knife to shut the guard's mouth. He remained silent because of an important information prompt.

[You have received the quest [Forging the Hundred Refinements Blade]]

[Quest description: As the title suggests]

[Quest reward: 500 experience]

[Accept the quest?]

[Yes] [No]

Coming back to his senses, Lu Bei vaguely saw a big exclamation mark above the guard's head. At this moment, the guard's not particularly handsome face appeared extremely handsome.

This was the first time Lu Bei received a quest, which was of great significance.

He could! Accept! A! Quest!

Excitement! Trembling!

Lu Bei raised his hand and held the guard's shoulders, unable to suppress his inner joy. With gratitude, he shouted the guard's name, "Thank you, stranger!"

"..."

Yesterday, there was missing data on the personal panel, and it has been corrected.
