Strange Worlds: The Sequence

But he said it was a cool autumn.

The sky is like a navy blue curtain, dotted with some lonely clouds.

There is a bustling street across the wall outside the window, and the nursery rhyme Chen Yuyan heard when she just woke up came from the street.

There can only be one source of this weird nursery rhyme, and that is the Loving Mother Church.

Even the children on the street dared to sing the nursery rhymes of the Loving Mother Sect openly. Chen Yuyan couldn't imagine how far Qingcheng County had been infiltrated by the Loving Mother Sect.

Chen Yuyan sighed, took all the valuables in the room, and quietly left the wing.

When he came to the corner of the wall, Chen Yuyan turned out stepping on the mortise tank, looked around, and disappeared into the crowd with his head down.

After half an hour.

A shady young man in a brocade robe stood in front of the door with a pale face, tightly clutching the yellow paper dropped by Chen Yuyan in his hand.

Thirteenth brother, you really make me worry.

Wouldn't it be nice to be killed obediently? It actually caused your second brother's ceremony to fail, and he was backlashed by evil spirits!

He lowered his head, coughed a few times, his voice hoarse, and said to the housekeeper behind him:

"Uncle Liang, let the jackals find Li Qingsong for me, even if they turn Qingcheng County over, I will take care of Li Qingshui if something goes wrong."

"Live to see people, die to see corpses!"

...

As the most prosperous area in ten miles and eight townships, the middle streets and alleys of Qingcheng County are crowded with people, and they are very lively.

Qingcheng County is surrounded by water on one side and mountains on three sides. The east side is slightly close to the middle section of Nujiang River.

"Ho Ho... Yo Yo..."

"Drag, drag, drag..."

Tea shops and wine shops on the street are thriving in business. In front of the shops with flags and flags hanging, guys with white cloth on their shoulders are shouting hard, attracting caravans passing by, and ordinary people come in to sit down and have a sip of green tea.

Chen Yuyan held a wide bowl in his hand, sat upright, and drank the tea in the bowl in one gulp.

The foundation of the force system in "Strange Rivers and Lakes" is [Sequence]. Sequence is like the trunk of a tree. Only when the trunk is strong can the branches and leaves flourish.

Only when one's own sequence is set, people in the world can generate internal strength and use it to perform various exercises.

The necessary thing to advance to the rank is called "pollution source", and it is called "secret medicine" in Jianghu.

Martial arts combination + secret medicine + ceremony = sequence promotion

This is the most classic formula in "Strange Rivers and Lakes", and it is also a formula that every player can memorize by heart.

This short formula succinctly covers the basic gameplay of the entire game.

Some players once analyzed on the forum that the essence of the sequence is "pollution". Pollution gives the world all kinds of powerful abilities, but also brings the same degree of negative impact.

For example, most of the swordsmen in [Knife Sequence] are irritable and manic. If they disagree with each other, they pick up the knife and slash.

However, the musicians in "Le Sequence" are always sentimental and indecisive. Nearly 70% of the musicians committed suicide, and most of them were trapped by love.

The essence of sequence is "pollution", so the promotion of sequence is essentially the process of deepening pollution.

Sequence promotion is judged according to the degree of pollution, for example: initial pollution, deep pollution, severe pollution...

After the pollution deepens, the characteristics of the sequence will also change. The deeper the pollution, the greater the increase in characteristics or the degree of influence.

The combination of sequences and martial arts, and even the rituals performed, will affect the difference in generation characteristics.

For Chen Yuyan, his biggest advantage at present is his foresight, not only knowing the future trend, but also remembering most of the secret medicine formulas in the thirty-six sequences!

The only thing that hinders him is the pre-skills of the promotion sequence.

Almost all the skills required for promotion in the later stage of the sequence are controlled by the big factions and the royal families. It can be said that it is as difficult as the sky for outsiders to obtain these skills.

"What the hell do you mean!"

"You want to fight, don't you!"

There was shouting and cursing from the next door, because the two parties had a conflict because of the seat.

Chen Yuyan glanced lightly, rubbed the psychic jade pendant on her waist with her fingers, got up and left.

Collect the anger emotions of ten people and complete.

Come to Ping'an Lane next to the wharf. This is a slum area in Qingcheng County, where many trackers and fishermen live.

In order to deceive others, Chen Yuyan found a dilapidated room in Ping'an Lane, but the surrounding houses were similar.

Go back to the house and close the door.

Putting down the package on his back, he took out various herbs and the psychic jade pendant on his waist.

These are the configuration materials for the secret medicine [Tibetan Knife], especially the psychic jade pendant, which can store various emotions.

This psychic jade pendant alone cost nearly half of the silver taels on Chen Yuyan's body. In addition to other materials, he now only has a dozen taels of silver left on his body.

But these are all worthwhile, only the money spent is valuable, and the hidden silver is no different from stones.

Sword grass, white-grained tree roots, tiger bones...

Each piece of material was roasted on the fire, and then boiled in the medicine stove. Chen Yuyan followed the steps in the game step by step, and finally put the psychic jade pendant into the boiled slurry.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the thick slurry water became transparent, no different from clear water, while the psychic jade pendant had turned pitch black and was scorching hot.

No, it should be called the secret medicine [Tibetan Knife] now.

Chen Yuyan tied the jade pendant with a red string and put it on his chest. The "pollution" inside would permeate into his body within a few days.

After extinguishing the fire, Chen Yuyan lay on the bed with her right hand pillowed behind her head, her left hand holding the jade pendant, and she closed her eyes to rest.

Taking the secret medicine has the effect of strengthening the body, but the process is not comfortable.

at sunset.

The sky had already dimmed, and there were scattered pedestrians on the street, most of whom were on their way home.

There is no curfew in Nanming. For example, the Zhuque Lane where the Li Mansion is located is still brightly lit and full of pedestrians at night.

It's just that most of the residents in Ping'an Lane can't afford to light a candle, and the light is dim at night. It's safer to go home early and lie down.

Chen Yuyan was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering her face, and quietly left through the back door without disturbing anyone.

These days, Chen Yuyan only went out at night to buy daily necessities, except for buying materials for configuring the secret medicine.

And now, he's going to steal something.

If you want to advance to the sequence, you need more than just secret medicine.

Prerequisites are also needed!

In Jianghu, skills are divided into three categories: Acquired, Innate, Hunyuan,

Each category is divided into three grades: A, B, and C.

[Sword Sequence] One of the prerequisites for the initial pollution is to master an acquired sword technique.

And just as it happened, Chen Yuyan remembered that a player once posted a very popular post on the forum, and the location of a chain mission was in Qingcheng County.

The player came and went forty or fifty times for this task, all of which were chores of buying soju and bringing herbs.

After filling up the favorability of the Lin Mansion, Mr. Lin will take out this secret book from the study and give it to the players.

This cheat book is called "The Hopeless Knife", and it happens to be a book of the first-class knife skills of the day after tomorrow.

Of course, the reason why this post became popular was not because of this acquired cheat book, which was not very eye-catching at the time.

It's because the Lin family's additional condition is that the player must marry the Lin family's prostitute and become the Lin family's son-in-law.

But it's not a game now, and there's no need for Chen Yuyan to run forty or fifty times to be the licking dog of the Lin family.

Hiding in the shadows, Chen Yuyan leaned over and walked quickly, heading towards Lin's mansion.

When Chen Yuyan arrived at Lin's mansion, the night was already dark, except for the croaking of the frogs in the ditch, there was no other sound to be heard.

Lin Mansion is not big, it is a secondary courtyard.

The Lin family has practiced medicine for generations and opened two clinics in Qingcheng County. Mr. Lin is a doctor of [Medicine Sequence] and is quite famous in Qingcheng County.

Only Mr. Lin in the Lin family has practiced martial arts and was promoted to [Medicine Sequence]. The other sons and grandchildren are all ordinary people.

Taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Lin was away for medical treatment these days and there was no martial arts practitioner at home, as long as Chen Yuyan was careful, it would not be difficult to sneak into the study to get a book.

The full moon hangs high in the sky.

During the ugly time, people sleep the most and it is also the time when Chen Yuyan leaves.

Jumping off the wall, Chen Yuyan walked against the wall, and soon came to the study.

While collecting the materials of the secret medicine, he was not idle, and had already squatted down to explore the internal structure of the Lin Mansion clearly.

Thank you for the crooked neck tree behind Lin Fu.

Gently pushing open the door, and sneaking sideways into the study, Chen Yuyan took out a piece of fluorite from his pocket, and quickly searched for the copy of "The Hopeless Knife" with the faint light.

"Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases".

"Shen Nong's Herbal Classic".

"Difficult Scripture".

Chen Yuyan picked up a book of pharmacy to look through it, then put it down again, and finally found an ancient book with a black cover in a wooden box in the corner.

He opened it, showing a look of joy.

It is the acquired first-class knife technique "The Hopeless Knife"!

Putting "The Hopeless Knife" in her arms, Chen Yuyan stood there and thought for a while, took out half of the money she was carrying, put it on the desk, and left quietly.

He dared not say that he was a man of principle.

For enemies or heinous villains, Chen Yuyan doesn't pay attention to the methods used to deal with them, as long as it can kill the other party, he can do whatever.

But the Lin family hung the pot to help the world, especially the old man of the Lin family, he did not know how many lives were saved and how many poor people were rescued in his life.

If he hadn't acted in a hurry, Chen Yuyan would not have made such a bad move to act as three hands.

Wait for him to memorize "The Hopeless Knife" by heart, and then ask someone to send it back after he has practiced it.

Back in the dilapidated house in Ping'an Lane, Chen Yuyan took off her night clothes, lit a candle, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

The moves in "The Hopeless Knife" are tricky from many angles, focusing on bravery and speed, overwhelming the opponent with momentum and crushing their fighting beliefs, but they are not as open and close as the sword skills in the army.

Summarize the characteristics of the hopeless knife in one sentence.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

If the opponent resists Chen Yuyan's first three offensives during the match, then Chen Yuyan has basically lost the chance to comeback.

Taking out the inferior long knife bought from the blacksmith shop, Chen Yuyan got out of bed and began to practice the knife skills.

This practice lasted for ten days.

...

Standing by the bed, exhaling a foul breath, Chen Yuyan put the knife back into its sheath, and stood there with eyes full.

It has been two days since he started with the hopeless sword.

After the body is strengthened by the secret medicine [Tibetan Knife], and then practice the Hopeless Knife, it really gets twice the result with half the effort!

Although Chen Yuyan still has no internal strength at this time, his physical fitness has been improved by the secret medicine, and he is no longer what he used to be with the Hopeless Knife.

"Brother, it's here!"

With a loud bang, the door suddenly collapsed.

Chen Yuyan frowned and looked, and saw seven or eight people entering in a file, holding daggers or sticks in their hands, with fierce faces, obviously the visitors were not kind.

The leading strong man folded his hands on his chest, his exposed arms were tight and full of strength.

He has a scar on his face that runs through his right eye, giving him a menacing look, hence the nickname Scarfaced Jackal.

"Master Li Qingsong, right?"

The jackal with a scar face scanned Chen Yuyan up and down with its long and narrow eyes, and said with a nonchalant smile:

"Your second brother asked us to take you home, come with us."
