MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill

Chapter 17 Proficiency Level 3

 The matter was settled, and Zhou An felt a little relieved. The tea, which was originally slightly bitter, felt much more fragrant.

 He just kept fishing in the room until the afternoon, when he went out to eat something and saw Chef Liu come in.

"It's done." Chef Liu didn't hesitate too much and said two words in front of the other agents.

 Zhou An cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, Old Liu. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Chef Liu shook his head, turned around and exited the room. Before exiting, he complained: "Don't invite me to dinner. Just work in peace. Don't spend three days fishing and two days drying nets."

 After Chef Liu left, the police officers present looked puzzled, wondering what the two men were doing.

Yu Hang has the best relationship with Zhou An, so he came over curiously: "Old Zhou, what are you doing?"

 Curious is really curious.

 Ever since he knew that Zhou An was a mysterious master, his heart was scratching his head.

Now that Zhou An has made strange moves again, he is even more curious.

Zhou An put down the tea cup in his hand with an indifferent expression: "It's nothing, I just want to help in the kitchen."

　　When the detectives present heard this, they all had strange expressions.

 They all know about helping the cook.

 But there’s not much money to be made, so no one is willing to do it.

Zhou An saw what everyone was thinking and came up with the prepared words: "It's okay to do something these days. Although we may be powerful in the eyes of the people, in fact we know everything about the situation. We can't go to the people every day to make money." Oil and water, if you catch too much, you won’t be able to eat anymore and walk around.”

　It was then that everyone suddenly realized.

In the circle of policemen in Anding County, Zhou An and Yu Hang are the only ones who are not doing anything to make money.

 The police officers thought that Zhou An wanted to make some extra money, but he did not have the courage and could only go through formal channels.

Thinking of this, they stopped paying attention, except Yu Hang.

 “Lao Zhou, what are you doing?”

Yu Hang spoke very quietly.

 Zhou An shook his head and said, "It's really nothing."

 Proficiency is something that no one can say.

 He must keep it secret.

  After all, this is his greatest support.

Yu Hang had a constipated expression on his face.

 He was very familiar with Zhou An, so he knew that Zhou An was not telling the truth.

 But he didn't ask too much. Even between good brothers, there must be some privacy.

“I’ll stay at the Yamen tonight.” Yu Hang whispered, “You have to be careful.”

Zhou An nodded slightly.

 This incident did not exceed his expectations.

 After all, no matter what Yu Hang said, he was still a catcher of the Yamen.

 When something goes wrong, the yamen still has to take action to protect it.

 This is why Zhou An did not quit his job as a police officer.

Someday if Bao Buqi causes a big mess, then maybe this identity of a police officer can be put to use.

 “Don’t go out of the Yamen at night.” Zhou An warned.

Yu Hang agreed.

The yamen only provides lunch, so there is no need to help in the kitchen at this time.

Zhou An continued to fish, and this time he fished for the opportunity to scatter value.

 It’s always nice to get off work.

 Amidst the laughter and laughter, Zhou An returned home carrying a long knife.

 Go back home, eat as usual, and then continue the progress of Liver Knife Skills.

The progress becomes slower the further back, but Zhou An is not impatient.

These things themselves take time to develop, and being impatient can lead to confusion.

 Throughout the whole night, nothing happened. Zhou An suffered silently amid the numbness in his entire right arm.

 In the next ten days, Zhou An's life became extremely regular.

Every day I order mao, then go to the kitchen to help the chef chop vegetables, and in the evening I go back home to continue my liver knife skills. I don’t know what happened, but the whole Anding County seemed to be safe in an instant, and there was no more squirrels worshiping people.

Moreover, the people who suppressed Suisi seemed to be very busy.

 Sometimes when Zhou An happened to pass by, he could see hurried figures inside.

“I guess he has some clues, and the other party knows that he is checking, so he hides it.”

Zhou An put the vegetables in front of him on a plate and looked at the words in front of him.

 【Sword Skill lv.2 (Speed ​​+1): 19856/20000】

 He has really been restless day and night these days, and only sleeps for two hours at night every day.

 And he has to act.

 At first, I pretended to be poor at cutting vegetables. Over the past few days, I slowly pretended to be skilled at chopping vegetables.

  In any case, it’s just a matter of pretending to be a dish first, then pretending to be proficient, and finally becoming more and more proficient.

 This set of procedures is only reasonable and reasonable.

 At lunch.

Zhou An was sitting in the dining hall, talking to Chef Liu while eating.

“I will patrol the streets tomorrow, so I won’t come over to help.”

In the past ten days, he has also been patrolling the streets, but he did not come to help when he was patrolling.

Chef Liu nodded: "You go about your business. This is the rule. If you have something to do, do it first."

Zhou An hummed and took another big mouthful of rice.

“By the way, be careful and smart when patrolling the streets.” Chef Liu reminded.

Zhou An felt that there was something in his words and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chef Liu looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered: "When I was shopping a few days ago, I passed by Zhenguisi, and guess what? I saw a lot of Zhenguisi The members are all wrapped in gauze.”

Zhou An’s eyes narrowed slightly.

　　This is when you are injured and you wrap it with gauze.

 “Is it the gray rat that wants to pay homage to someone?”

 This matter is not a secret in the county government, Zhou An can feel free to speak out boldly.

Chef Liu raised his eyebrows: "That should be the case, so I asked you to be careful and don't go to a dead end when patrolling the streets. If something goes wrong, I will have one less helper here."

Zhou An was speechless and said: "Old Liu, if you say this to others, you will definitely get slapped twice. It doesn't matter how old you are, you will definitely get this slap."

 After getting along for the past ten days, the two of them have a tacit understanding.

Zhou An discovered that Chef Liu spoke unabashedly.

At the age of over sixty, Chef Liu actually doesn’t have any bad intentions, but he speaks too bluntly and easily offends people.

“Who dares to slap me? I might give you some laxative one day.” Chef Liu joked.

 The two of them did not talk about this topic any more, but just chatted and ate.

 After lunch, Zhou An fished for fish all afternoon.

 After spending money, he bought some food and returned home.

 The proficiency level is only a few hundred points short of reaching level three.

Zhou An thinks that if the liver is taken down tonight, it will be almost the same.

 After making a simple dinner and even drinking a cup of tea, Zhou An came to the chopping board and took out the extra vegetables.

 “Open the liver!”

Zhou An moved his wrist, lifted the kitchen knife next to him, and started to get excited.

 In the middle of the night, the sound of chopping knives continued until the next morning.

 …

 The next day.

 In order to get enough of this proficiency, Zhou An stayed up all night.

 When he put down the kitchen knife the next morning, he subconsciously chopped it.

 “The emperor and the heaven will pay off, no matter how hard you work, no matter how hard you work, you will reap the rewards.”

 Looking at the text in front of him, Zhou An had a smile on his face.
