Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Life is dull, without any fun, like a stagnant pool. For Zhou Peng, time - traveling should have made him happy, but now he can't be happy at all. Walking out of the pigsty - like room, Zhou Peng came to the backyard of the Furong Restaurant and prepared to start sweeping the yard. He still understood the principle that one has to bow one's head under the eaves. Although Zhang Dafu has a big belly, he is also a master at the fifth level of a martial artist. Dealing with Zhou Peng is as easy as crushing an ant. Of course, Zhou Peng is the concubine's son of the Zhou family after all. Zhang Dafu really doesn't dare to do anything to him. At most, he just insults him verbally and occasionally punches and kicks him without using heavy hands. Besides, Zhou Peng's exile from the Zhou family was also the intention of the great elder of the Zhou family. According to his current age of fifteen, it's not yet the time for him to be exiled. The rule of the Zhou family is that when one reaches the age of eighteen and is not at the fifth level of a martial artist, one should give up martial arts and engage in business. But for some unknown reason, Zhou Xiangtian, the great elder of the Zhou family, suddenly issued an order and directly sent Zhou Peng to this Furong Restaurant as a small handyman. Every day, he has no free time for washing vegetables, feeding pigs, sweeping the floor, and wiping tables. He can't figure out why Zhou Xiangtian treated him like this. He didn't do anything to betray the family. Could it be that this guy peeked at his wife taking a bath before? While sweeping the floor, he was sorting out his thoughts. Zhou Peng didn't want to live a poor life like this in the future. Some things should be repaid after all. It was early in the morning. The restaurant had not opened for business yet, so it was very deserted. But it was also the busiest time for the handymen. Wiping the tables, mopping the floor, washing vegetables, slaughtering chickens, ducks, and fish, and a series of other trivial matters were waiting for Zhou Peng and Meng Lei to do. Meng Lei is big and strong, but he is very clumsy when doing things. Except for some labor - intensive work, Zhou Peng is basically doing all the other work alone. "Zhou Peng, go and kill these Fire - spitting Chickens." Zhang Dafu pointed to the chicken coop made of bamboo strips. "Shopkeeper, let me do it. Fire - spitting Chickens are low - level monsters. The young master has not recovered yet. I'm afraid..." Meng Lei put down his work and immediately ran over. "It's none of your business here. Go back to your work." Zhang Dafu glared at Meng Lei and thought in his heart, "What good can come from offending the great elder? If you live a comfortable life here, I will be in trouble." The whole Qinghe City knows why Zhou Peng was exiled in advance. It's all because he offended Zhou Xiangtian, the great elder of the Zhou family. Many people don't like Zhou Peng, and Zhang Dafu is one of them. So, at many times, he deliberately makes things difficult for Zhou Peng. Like now, the difficult task of killing Fire - spitting Chickens is of course given to Zhou Peng. Fire - spitting Chickens are a kind of low - level monsters. Although they are low - level monsters, if you are scratched by their claws, it will be extremely painful. Although it will not be fatal, physical pain is inevitable. Zhou Peng also knows that Fire - spitting Chickens pose a certain threat to him. His body is extremely sore everywhere, and he has no strength to hold a broom. Asking him to kill Fire - spitting Chickens is really embarrassing him. But he has to do it. Because there is a blood tank on the head of the Fire - spitting Chicken in the cage. Zhou Peng thought he was dazzled. He took a few steps closer and looked again. The blood tank was still there. The Fire - spitting Chicken stared at him, showing panic in its eyes, and kept "clucking" in the cage. Not only that, when Zhang Dafu asked him to kill the Fire - spitting Chicken, a voice system suddenly popped up in his brain. "Help Zhang Dafu kill the Fire - spitting Chicken, + 50 experience points, + 20 (qigong) points, + 1 survival value" "Oh my god, is this playing an online game?" Zhou Peng was greatly shocked in his heart. He thought he was hallucinating. Just as he was hesitating, the system popped up another voice: "Please make a decision within 10 seconds. If the system refuses the task after 10 seconds, there will be a punishment at that time." "Accept." Hearing the word "punishment", Zhou Peng was immediately shocked and immediately recited "accept" in his heart. Without the system's prompt, Zhou Peng can think of the punishment. There must be a beating from Zhang Dafu. His weak body can't stand any more torture. Immediately, Zhou Peng took a kitchen knife in his right hand and reached out with his left hand to catch the chicken. Strangely enough, the Fire - spitting Chicken in the cage was desperately dodging, as if it was extremely afraid of Zhou Peng. In the past, its claws would have attacked long ago. "Brother Chicken, I'm sorry." Zhou Peng couldn't bear it. "... Cluck, cluck..." The Fire - spitting Chicken cried out in fear. A Fire - spitting Chicken was caught out of the cage by Zhou Peng. Without hesitation, he chopped down with the knife. As the knife fell, the chicken's head fell off, and a lot of chicken blood sprayed on him. Then the system voice popped up in his brain, "The task is completed. You have obtained the task rewards, + 50 experience points, + 30 (qigong) points, + 1 survival value" "Congratulations to the player Zhou Peng for upgrading. The current level is 2, and the attribute value + 1 (can be freely distributed)" "Do you want to view the attributes?" "Yes." "Player: Zhou Peng" "Level: 2" "Health value: 100" " (qigong) value: 40" "Survival value: 101" "Free attribute value: 1" "Martial arts: None" "Finishing move: None" ..."Oh, God has been kind to me. He even gave me an upgrade system. I'm going to be rich, haha..." Zhou Peng was so excited that he almost laughed wildly. Immediately, he dragged out another Fire - spitting Chicken from the cage and chopped it down with a knife. Suddenly, the system voice popped up again: "Killing a Fire - spitting Chicken, you get 25 experience points, 15 (qigong) points, and 0 survival value" "Why is the experience value halved?" Zhou Peng secretly wondered in his heart, but the system did not answer. Zhou Peng took out another Fire - spitting Chicken from the cage and killed it with a knife. The experience he got was still half of the task value. Although the experience and (qigong) values are only half of the task values, it is enough to make Zhou Peng excited. Zhang Dafu beside him was dumbfounded. Looking at Zhou Peng killing three Fire - spitting Chickens in a row, he was secretly shocked. Killing a Fire - spitting Chicken is very difficult. Even some highly skilled butchers have to deal with it carefully. But he killed three in a row, and the Fire - spitting Chickens didn't attack him at all. Moreover, when he killed the second Fire - spitting Chicken, his strength suddenly increased, as if he had broken through the second level of a martial artist. What's wrong with this useless person today? Could it be that after being beaten, his Dantian has been fused? "Young master, you can actually kill Fire - spitting Chickens. That's amazing." Meng Lei looked at Zhou Peng with admiration and disbelief. "Isn't it just killing a chicken? Is it that amazing?" "You didn't even dare to hold a knife before, let alone kill a Fire - spitting Chicken." "Am I that weak?" Zhou Peng couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't even dare to hold a knife? This guy was too cowardly before. Zhang Dafu was in a very bad mood. He originally wanted to see Zhou Peng make a fool of himself. Unexpectedly, he easily dealt with three Fire - spitting Chickens and looked very excited. This made him very unhappy, but he couldn't find a reason to get angry, so he felt very uncomfortable. "Shopkeeper, tell me what else you want to kill. I'll kill them all for you." "I think the old sow in the pigsty is good. Why don't I kill it for you?" "Don't look at me like that. I just want to help." "Hey, hey, don't go." Zhou Peng was very depressed. All the Fire - spitting Chickens in the cage had been killed by him. The only thing left that could be killed in the yard was the old sow in the pigsty. Looking at the old sow, a lewd smile appeared on his face...
