“Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Shen.”
Chen Shaojun expressed his thanks. Then, he also received his tallies from Xu Hongtao’s hands.
He received three tallies. If he included the one he had previously received, then he now had four tallies.
“Four tallies is equivalent to 120 wen.”
“It is indeed difficult to earn enough money to learn martial arts.”
Chen Shaojun frowned.
However, he really needed a channel to obtain knowledge of martial arts. At the very least, he needed to let everyone in the pawnshop know that he had started practicing martial arts.
“Uncle Xu…”
Chen Shaojun hesitated for a moment but did not speak.
He knew that this matter could not be rushed.
On the contrary, it would be counterproductive to suggest it rashly.
Today, Chen Shaojun was the last to leave the appraisal room. When he arrived at the dining hall, it was already empty.
Luckily, there were leftovers in the dining hall. The most satisfying thing about the Lin Pawnshop was the dining hall. Although the taste of the food was barely acceptable, it was still filling.
When he returned to his residence, the sounds of snoring could be heard.
Chen Shaojun endured the noise and lay down.
As he breathed, he maintained the rhythm of the Eternal Spring Breathing Technique.
Every breath he took caused his body to tremble slightly.
Up until now, more than six hours had passed since he obtained the Eternal Spring Breathing Technique. Although he had yet to develop it into an instinct and would occasionally mess up his rhythm, he had gradually discovered the use of this breathing technique.
It would help his body digest…
Less than two hours had passed since he ate dinner, but he already felt hungry.
…
The next morning.
The six apprentices lined up in a row. When they saw two figures walking in from the side door, their faces were full of surprise.
“What’s going on?”
“Why are Second Master and Third Master here?”
“Did something happen?”
Within the Lin Pawnshop, the status of official pawnbrokers was extremely transcendent.
Putting aside the elusive Qin Dazhao, who almost never showed himself, even the Second Pawnbroker Dai Ming and the Third Pawnbroker Zhang Gao rarely appeared in front of the apprentice pawnbrokers.
Even if they did appear, only one person would appear at most.
It was very rare for two people to arrive in succession like this.
“They’re all here.”
“I have something to inform you all today.”
“As the number of apprentices in the pawnshop is decreasing day by day, new people will soon join the pawnshop.”
The first to speak was the Third Pawnbroker Zhang Gao. He was short and fat, and his aura was ferocious as he walked. He barged through the crowd, looking somewhat arrogant and domineering.
However, in reality, his personality was relatively kind.
At the very least, the apprentice pawnbrokers dared to ask him some questions.
On the other hand, the Second Pawnbroker Dai Ming had a serious expression on his face. Just by standing there with a cold expression, he could make the timid apprentice pawnbrokers so nervous that they could not speak.
“Are new people going to join the pawnshop?”
“How many people will join us?”
Sure enough, someone asked curiously.
“About twenty.”
Zhang Gao said casually, “Oh right, who’s Chen Shaojun?”
The others instantly exclaimed with surprise and bewilderment as they looked at Chen Shaojun.
Chen Shaojun was stunned. He quickly took a step forward. “That’s me.”
He did not mind that the other party did not remember his name.
After all, the official pawnbrokers would never pay attention to the names of these apprentice pawnbrokers.
After all, in a sense, they were just a bunch of consumables.
Once the baneful aura entered their bodies, they would be carried away.
Zhang Wang, as well as the other five, were all the same.
“I heard that your Divine Vision technique has reached the Proficient-Level?”
Zhang Gao looked at Chen Shaojun curiously.
The group of apprentice pawnbrokers immediately exclaimed.
They all expressed their surprise.
