Archery Master and Forging Master

"...But now that I see you like this, I believe you!"

The beautiful landlady looked filled with longing:

"I'm getting a little impatient myself."

"..."

Ding Ling was speechless.

Was the landlady really going into the game just because she could develop again?

But when he saw her flat chest, Ding Ling understood.

The landlady was beautiful, but as far as her figure went, she could really be Ding Ling's brother.

"What are you looking at?"

The beautiful landlady turned slightly to the side, embarrassed and angry, and glared:

"Just wait. In a few days, I'll let you see a brand-new Ouyang Lingling!"

Perhaps it was because both their names contained the characters "Ling" and "Ling."

Although Ouyang Lingling had rejected Ding Ling, the two of them were quite close, almost like friends.

"You're leaving. When will we see each other again?"

"The mountains are high and the rivers long. If fate allows, we'll meet again someday."

The two chatted and laughed for a while.

Ouyang Lingling invited Ding Ling: "I have properties all over the country. Wherever you go, I can rent you a house. I can continue being your landlady. What do you think?"

Ding Ling didn't think much of the idea.

Although Ouyang Lingling was trustworthy,

Ding Ling wasn't going to casually entrust his personal safety to an outsider at a time like this.

Before he had enough strength to protect himself,

Ding Ling wouldn't let anyone discover or find him.

He left his residence and, that very day, took his luggage to the unlicensed taxi market, renting a black car to take him to the outskirts of the neighboring city.

After traveling all the way there,

when they arrived, the driver saw that no one was around and noticed Ding Ling's handsome, refined features. He tried to extort him, but after Ding Ling gave him a beating, the driver didn't even ask for the fare and fled in a panic.

Ding Ling had saved another sum of money. He touched his face. He was wearing a mask, yet did he still look that easy to bully?

What was wrong with that driver's eyes?

"This is the countryside. Surely no one will find me here, right?"

Earlier, he had used a public phone in a secluded place to contact the landlord.

The landlord had said he would arrive at four in the afternoon.

Ding Ling glanced at his watch.

It was half past three.

He waited at the agreed location, the entrance to the village.

Half an hour later,

a man arrived on time.

He glanced at Ding Ling and saw that Ding Ling was wearing his hat and mask tightly. He found it strange, but he rarely lived in the countryside, and being able to rent out this house for some extra money was excellent. He couldn't be bothered to think too much about it. He didn't even sign a contract with Ding Ling, which was precisely why Ding Ling had chosen to rent a house here.

The man showed Ding Ling the house, took the money, and left.

Ding Ling surveyed the house.

It was filthy.

That was what happened to places no one lived in for years.

Still, it had appliances, bedding, and other necessities, saving him the trouble of buying them.

Whenever he rented a house, he usually chose one that came with appliances. Otherwise, buying everything would be a hassle.

The village was located at the foot of a mountain and wasn't very large.

There were only a few dozen households.

Moreover, most of the houses were vacant. The young people had all gone to the cities, leaving behind only the elderly and some left-behind children.

The children were all quite young.

Most of them were around five or six years old, at the age when they played in the mud.

Seeing that someone new had arrived in the village, they were especially curious. They secretly observed Ding Ling from time to time, occasionally pointing at him and letting out pleasant, bell-like laughter.

Ding Ling didn't mind. He had also come from that age and knew that children were the most innocent.

After cleaning the house,

he went out and took the initiative to chat with the elderly villagers for a while. After learning about the situation there, he went with one enthusiastic old man to look at the hot springs in the mountains and cleaned the well and other places along the way.

He would have to rely on the well water for cooking and boiling water in the future.

He kept busy here and there.

Several hours passed.

Only then did Ding Ling enter the room amid the children's playful laughter, shut the door tightly, take out his gaming helmet, and prepare to enter the game.

What comforted him was that the gaming helmet could be used anywhere.

It didn't matter whether there was an internet connection or not.

Thinking about the internet,

Ding Ling suddenly got up again.

He turned on his phone, connected to Uncle Zhang's Wi-Fi next door, and began browsing the internet.

To prevent anyone from finding him, he had removed his SIM card and other things long ago. He had also bought a secondhand phone, so his preparations could be said to be very thorough.

This time, Ding Ling went online intending to learn some new knowledge.

He searched for archery courses and the like.

After a while,

Basic Archery Max Level

Projectile Techniques Max Level

Rapid Shot Techniques Max Level

Rapid Fire Techniques Max Level

Various archery skills surged through his mind.

Ding Ling, who originally knew nothing about archery, instantly became an archery master!

He had a very clear feeling.

With his current strength, if he used a good bow, he could easily shoot and kill a Second-Rate Military General!

"Excellent."

Ding Ling was very satisfied.

Archery skills in the real world were already this formidable. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he cultivated the archery skills of people like Huang Zhong in the Three Kingdoms World to the max level.

"Continue."

Ding Ling went online again to search for other areas of knowledge.

It was because of his repeated actions in the Three Kingdoms World that he realized skills from the real world could also be useful at critical moments.

That was why he had taken the initiative this time to learn as much as possible!

After some time,

Forging Defensive Weapon Skills Max Level

Forging Offensive Weapon Skills Max Level

Wooden Ox and Gliding Horse Crafting Skill Max Level

Ding Ling had read far too many pieces of knowledge on the internet.

Moreover, because these pieces of knowledge belonged to basic skills,

after he read them once,

the Library would immediately condense a book automatically, causing Ding Ling's skill in that area to instantly reach max level.

This naturally made Ding Ling become:

Forging Master!

Carpentry Master!

Casting Master!

Bamboo Weaving Master!

Agriculture Master!

Planting Master!

Crop Cultivation Master!

He had gained dozens of additional useful skills.

The books condensed from the knowledge he had read numbered several hundred, all piled on one of the bookshelves.

"Excellent."

Ding Ling nodded inwardly, very satisfied.

Perhaps it was because modern society focused more on manufacturing advanced weapons such as nuclear bombs.

Thus, forging skills in that area couldn't be found online or in bookstores.

But ancient skills and some basic modern skills were readily available in online bookstores. They could basically all be found with a search.

Of course,

some truly top-level skills worthy of being passed down through the ages also couldn't be found online.

For example, the genuine martial arts he had always wanted to learn, such as Xing Yi and Wing Chun.

They simply didn't exist online.

"All right. I can enter the game world now."

Ding Ling put on the gaming helmet.

He chose to enter the game world.

As that familiar sensation of the world spinning around him arrived,

the next moment,

he had once again arrived at Players' Plaza.

At a glance,

it was packed with people.

All kinds of discussions surged into his ears like a raging flood.

Ding Ling shook his head without listening or looking closely.

Instead, he opened the character panel.

Sure enough,

the character panel was different again this time.
