The profession of blacksmith is still very popular. Huo Xiangkong just came out to expand the blacksmith shop. There were several NPC families in Jingwu Village who wanted to send their children to the blacksmith shop as apprentices.

To be honest, if Huo Xiangkong really chose himself, Huo Xiangkong would rather choose to recruit blacksmiths in the county than ask for apprentices who know nothing. However, since the old village chief came to express his love, Huo Xiangkong said that he would give the old village chief some face. Huo Xiangkong immediately asked the blacksmith Li Laoer to choose one or two from these families as blacksmith apprentices. However, Huo Xiangkong had an attached condition: they had to sign a contract for 10 years.

The ten-year condition did make the selected NPC families hesitate, but after Huo Xiangkong explained: "Although the signing time has been a little longer, it is precisely because the signing time has been a long time that they can learn more." Then they gritted their teeth and agreed.

The blacksmith Old Man Li selected a total of two apprentices, led by his apprentices. According to the rules, they had to take over 80% of the groceries in the blacksmith shop. The rest of the time they would learn to create agricultural tools and other things under the guidance of the blacksmith shop Old Man Li's apprentices.

The fences of the village were originally very simple, but with the efforts of many players, the simple wooden fences are upgrading to the thick wooden fences, and a new arrow tower has been added to the entrance of the village.

The personnel on the Arrow Tower are specially recruited from the real world who are good at archery. They are basically stationed 24 hours a day, and the catapult car has already made some progress and are currently in the process of making parts.

Most of the people in the entire novice village are busy, but the busiest one is Huo Xiangkong. Huo Xiangkong seems to care about anything, but almost everything has something to do with him.

On May 25, 2041, a news piece occupied the front pages of major media on the morning of the 25th: [Jingwu Studio] The boss lady Qingqing announced that she would invest 1 million to improve the infrastructure and security defense of Jingwu Village.

Regarding Qingqing's sudden announcement of investing 1 million to build Jingwu Village. The news circulated in Qingqing's fan club was: One night, Qingqing got up and went to swear. When she passed by Huo Xiangkong's room, she seemed to hear Huo Xiangkong talking. Qingqing thought Huo Xiangkong knew that he was talking to him outside, so she walked in. However, after entering, Qingqing found that Huo Xiangkong was talking in his sleep. Qingqing also heard what Huo Xiangkong said clearly. Huo Xiangkong seemed a little irritable in his sleep, as if he had encountered problems in the development of a catapult car. So Qingqing announced that she had invested 1 million users to build Jingwu Village without any expectations.

This statement [Jingwu Studio] and the senior management of Jingwu Village have not been confirmed, so many people just listen to it and don’t really believe it. Many people think this is a hype in Jingwu Village, but the truth is sometimes so bloody.

Qingqing actually had to invest 1 million to build Jingwu Village. Huo Xiangkong's first reaction was "impossible". You must know that Qingqing has always been very obsessed with money. The most obvious thing is that she recently took private revenge and deducted her pocket money. What do you think of where did your salary go?

It would be fine if I didn't mention this, but I would be even more depressed when I mentioned Huo Xiangkong. One night, Qingqing came to Huo Xiangkong's room very sexy and played games with Huo Xiangkong. As a normal man, Huo Xiangkong naturally inevitably paid attention to some parts of Qingqing. As he was playing, Qingqing suddenly said: "Do you want to raise your salary?"

"Of course I want to." Huo Xiangkong said happily without any scheming.

"Do you think this is good? I will call your salary regularly to your bank card in the future. This bank card is usually kept by me. I will eat and drink every month from now on, and I will also have hundreds to one thousand pocket money. How about it, do you do it?"

"It's true, there's such a good thing." Huo Xiangkong said with some heart-warming.

"Of course it's true. People see the extra benefits you have given you so hard for so many years. If you don't believe me, then forget it."

"I didn't say I didn't believe it."

"Then you've been thinking about it for so long."

"Okay, okay, I'll just agree."

...

Thinking of the unbearable past of losing his bank card, Huo Xiangkong felt extremely depressed. He believed that Qingqing would not ask him for so much money, but as a man, it was really unreasonable to have no money in his hands. And what he hated the most was that Qingqing had a quarrel with him a few days later. He was a little embarrassed before, but now this girl was getting more and more natural. She even told Huo Xiangkong that Huo Xiangkong's almost blank experience of men and women made her feel easily.

Cough, let’s not mention Qingqing tune for the first time※The story of Huo Xiangkong. After seeing this news, Huo Xiangkong immediately went offline to find Qingqing. Most of the people in the studio were in the game at this time. Huo Xiangkong took a walk before finding her in Qingqing's room. This girl was still sleeping.

"Why are you still sleeping? Get up quickly." Qingqing looked at Huo Xiangkong in a daze, then covered the quilt and looked like she didn't hear it.

"Why are you so lazy at such a young age? If you can't get up, I'll lift the quilt." Huo Xiangkong scared.

"I don't wear anything inside. Just lift the quilt." Qingqing said with a smile on her head.

"this..."

"If you don't dare, don't disturb me to sleep." Qingqing said lazily with Huo Xiangkong on her back.

"Who said I dare not?"

Huo Xiangkong did not dare to do it, but when Qingqing was so excited, he lifted Qingqing's quilt with some anger. The next moment, Huo Xiangkong was stunned. Qingqing really didn't wear anything inside. Fortunately, Qingqing was carrying Huo Xiangkong on her back, so Huo Xiangkong just saw it behind her.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Huo Xiangkong quickly turned around and stammered, "You...why are you really..."

"Idiot, it seems that you are not hit." Qingqing said with a pity in her heart when she saw Huo Xiangkong really lifting the quilt.

It turned out that after Qingqing posted the news, she guessed that Huo Xiangkong would come to find him. In addition, it seemed that there was no play in the past few days. So Qingqing designed such a scene. Now seeing Huo Xiangkong follow his script, Qingqing smiled and said with anger behind Huo Xiangkong, "Why? I just lifted my quilt and didn't dare to look at it now."

"I'm sorry, I thought you were kidding me."

"I'm sorry if it's useful, why do you need the police?" After saying that, Qingqing was wearing clothes and laughed: "Tell me honestly, how much did you see just now."

"Uh...not much, after all, you are carrying me on your back."

"I heard from your tone. It turns out that you still want to see the front."

"I didn't say that."

"I don't care, anyway, you're wrong when you look at someone's body."

"I know it's wrong, but..."

"I just read it, so I'm not allowed to make a quibble. Qingqing interrupted Huo Xiangkong and said, "This is it. If you answer my question, I will forgive you."

"Okay. You ask."

"Are you thinking about that kind of thing now, or are you more blunt, have you excited?"

"Yes." Huo Xiangkong whispered. Huo Xiangkong felt embarrassed when he was forced to ask about this kind of thing in front of a girl, but at the same time he felt excited. It seemed that the otaku just couldn't afford to hurt him because he talked about this topic with Qingqing.

"You are honest, okay, I'm dressed, you can turn around." He said that Huo Xiangkong turned around, but Qingqing walked to Huo Xiangkong himself and laughed: "Are you surprised that I invested 1 million in Jingwu Village and asked me in a special way? I am so obsessed with money, and I am willing to spend a million for you. Do you feel moved at all?"

"Not a little, I'm so touched." Huo Xiangkong said, pulling Qingqing's jade hand.

This time, Qingqing felt a little embarrassed when she pulled her jade hand back and ran away, but she still held it back, "Since you said I moved you, and you see that other people's body will have that kind of thought, then why not give me your first time."

"ah..."

"What, I didn't understand, I want to possess you."

Huo Xiangkong was really messy, was he too out of date or the world was too crazy? The words "I want to possess you" actually came out of the girl's mouth.

Seeing Huo Xiangkong not speaking, Qingqing hooked his neck and pressed his delicate body on her face, and said in a sweet voice: "Do you think I'm too direct? Actually, we are all 18 years old, right? We are no longer the kid who feels embarrassed to say a few words. You see, we have known each other for almost four years. What's rare is that we have been in touch for four years. In fact, at the beginning, I just thought you really wanted to tease you, but..."

"But they are normal people after all, I will feel it when I tease you, so..."

Huo Xiangkong suddenly pushed Qingqing away, took a deep breath and turned over, and said, "Qingqing, I'm sorry, I can't agree to you."

"Why can't you do it? I don't have to take responsibility. It's not that I'm talking about you. It's really embarrassing for a man to be in his twenties. And if a girl takes the initiative to say such things, if you don't agree, how can you tell me to see you in the future?"

"I know it's normal for couples to do this kind of thing now, but if I pass this level, I can't accept doing that kind of thing simply for indulgence. I'm sorry." After saying that, Huo Xiangkong went out. Now that I can't talk about serious matters, it's better to go out.

"Hmph, the monk can't run away from the temple. One day I will possess you."

However, in less than half an hour, Huo Xiangkong entered Qingqing's room again because his communication signal was out of money. Although there was no phone bill or something in this era, there were traffic charges. Nowadays, communication is in video + voice mode, especially the 3D mode, which costs the most traffic.

Huo Xiangkong thought Qingqing would make things difficult for him, but he didn't expect Qingqing to say directly: "I understand, I'll make money for you later."

"Qingqing, I hope we can still do the same as before."

Qingqing said quietly: "Xiangkong, do you think I am shameless? A girl is not reserved at all... Actually, I have only talked about a boyfriend. We have been intimate, but we haven't reached the last step, so I'm actually still there. How do you say that, in my memory, boys always think with their lower body, but you are so simple."

"I think this should be true. If you are a girl who is casual and greedy for enjoyment, you don't have to work so hard to be an anchor to make money with your appearance."

"If you don't think so, I'll go brush my teeth and wash my face." Qingqing said that, and then ran out, but when she got out, Qingqing came back, and then kissed Huo Xiangkong's lips like a dragonfly, then glared and said, "You have rejected me once. If you don't kiss me, they will break up with you."

Huo Xiangkong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled bitterly. It was obvious that I was at a disadvantage, but she looked very angry. Qingqing finally found a feeling of regaining some face when she saw Huo Xiangkong's helpless look.

Then Qingqing seemed to return to her previous appearance. Qingqing explained simply that she had to do the best, and she had to do nothing after spending less money these days. Do it boldly, I support you."

With the support of funds, many things became easier. In terms of the management of Jingwu Village, Huo Xiangkong specially hired a retired county magistrate in the county through the Momen channel.

The county magistrate was the name of a local official in the ancient Yanhuang Kingdom. Its status in the county was generally second only to the county magistrate (or county magistrate). During the Han Dynasty, each county had one chief clerk to assist the chief, and its main responsibility was to manage documents, warehouses, etc. Although there were changes in the descendants, such as the Song Dynasty once abolished and served as the chief clerk, it was mostly set up this official (one or two) in history, until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

In the [Cultivation World], the county magistrate is also the second only to the position of the county magistrate. The official position is the eighth rank (the seventh rank of the county magistrate). The county magistrate invited by Huo Xiangkong is the county magistrate who manages the village where Jingwu Village is located. Over the past decades, [Hezhou County] has changed countless county magistrates. However, the county magistrate has retired.

Perhaps this county magistrate is not very talented, but just the decades of experience in county management made Huo Xiangkong very happy. At least with this person joining, many of the daily affairs of the village are laborious. He did not grow up in ancient times, and his understanding of the [cultivation world] is far less profound than those NPCs.

Ding, System Announcement: The famous Shi Shangguan Jia was a scholar in Jingwu Village, and Jingwu Village’s attractiveness to talents such as scholars has increased.

Shangguan Jia is now 65 years old. Logically speaking, he should enjoy his life at home after retirement. Anyway, their Shangguan family is a top-ranked family in [Hezhou County]. However, this time the giant of Jingwu Sect personally wrote a letter to him.

More than ten years ago, [Hezhou County] was besieged by horse thieves. Fortunately, Juzi led the disciples of the Mo family to support [Hezhou County] in time, and Shangguan Jia and the Shangguan family were spared. Now Juzi wrote a letter to him and hoped to go to a village under Momen to assist Momen’s disciples in managing the village. Shangguan Jia agreed without thinking.

Shangguan Jia has managed [Hezhou County] for decades. He is very familiar with the situation around him. This so-called [Jingwu Village] is just a primary village that has not been established for a long time. However, when he arrived here, Shangguan Jia was surprised to find that it was extremely lively.

There is an arrow tower at the entrance of the village, and there are even a combination of Yiren and NPCs holding weapons to patrol. What made Shangguan Jia most surprised was that the Yiren here actually sat on Trojan horses for transportation. It was not convenient to see that the flexible Trojan horses looked like real horses.

With Momen recommendations and decades of county management experience, after a simple exchange, Huo Xiangkong used his village chief's authority to appoint Shangguan Jia as deputy village chief. In addition to coordinating the management of daily village affairs, Shangguan Jia's biggest task is to upgrade [Jingwu Village] to the intermediate level.

The militia composed of five hundred players also made some minor changes. The captain, squadron leader, and squadron leader of the militia have received the signing invitation from [Jingwu Studio] in the past few days. Some of those who did not agree to the signing were also dismissed. Huo Xiangkong did not ask to work in the studio, but the signing terms were relatively strict. If betrayal and betrayal of the intelligence to the hostile forces, he would be compensated with a huge fine or even jail for breach of contract.

With the contract constraints, Huo Xiangkong asked the seven people in the studio to escape the five hundred militias. They began to be fully responsible for the construction of the [Jingwu Pavilion]. Given the current situation, the [Jingwu Pavilion] has begun to absorb a large number of members. As long as they become official members of the [Jingwu Pavilion], they can obtain free opportunities for physical fitness, fighting, skills, etc., and the members need to pay unconditionally to obey orders when they need it. In this regard, the [Jingwu Pavilion] is actually similar to the game guild, but the type of [Jingwu Pavilion] is more similar to those martial arts sects. When they are fine, they will never take the initiative to cause trouble, and actively learn martial arts to enhance themselves.

On May 26, 2041, [Jingwu Village] gathered 500 [Military] and 3,000 [Jingwu Pavilion] members to launch an attack on the horse thieves. The operation was blocked at 4 a.m. in the real world, and before the operation, [Jingwu Village] was blocked.

Before the large army was in operation, 10 Momen disciples led by Wang Da and Wang Er formed a special forces team to secretly go to the horse thief den. These 12 people were all skilled. They went there to kill all the scouts of the horse thief along the way, and to find an opportunity to see if they could behead them. Before setting off, Huo Xiangkong repeatedly emphasized to Wang Da Wang Er: "Everything is mainly about safety. I hope you will act again on the basis of ensuring your safety. This time we attacked to train troops, and to test the strength of the horse thief. There is no need to fight with them at all."

Perhaps because Wang Dawang Er killed the scouts of the horse thief along the way, Huo Xiangkong and others came all the way to the horse thief's den, they didn't know that horse thief, since they called horse thief, naturally many of them bought it. In fact, there were indeed many horses in the horse thief's den. According to the information bought from the players who defected to the horse thief, Huo Xiangkong obtained two main storage places for horse thief's horses.
