Chapter 633 Bad Boy
One and a half months passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Heng finally built his new home, including a two-story building, a cowshed, and a horse pen... Zhang Heng originally wanted to open a vegetable garden, but the land here was not suitable for planting. Even if the seeds were taken care of with all the effort, the final harvest would not be very good, so Zhang Heng gave up.
He is not a construction fanatic or has very high requirements for the quality of life. The main reason is because Matthew gave him a large piece of land, but there was nothing but grass on the land, so he had no choice but to build it by himself.
Fortunately, he has not completely forgotten the construction techniques he learned from the shorts guy in the novice copy. In addition, after getting paid, he also spent money to hire two helpers and a mason.
Most of the houses in the town are made of brick and wood. The advantage is that they are fast to build and the cost is relatively easy to control. However, after Zhang Heng asked the alcoholic Sheriff Cook the amount of the reward, he decided to do it in one step and use iron instead of wood. , the house built in this way is stronger and can reduce fire hazards. As for the disadvantage...it's expensive.
Because the iron and masonry used as building materials were produced in factories on the East Coast and transported to the town by train, the price also increased several times.
The bounty hadn't been paid out yet, so Zhang Heng could only borrow some money from Matthew to advance it.
Fortunately, the results look pretty good. The main building is based on his residence in the Black Sail copy, and other houses in the town are also referenced. The area is not large, and the top and bottom together are estimated to be only 200 square meters, but It's more than enough for one person to live in. After the construction was completed, Zhang Heng also received a lv0 construction skill and 20 game points, which was an unexpected bonus.
Zhang Heng took two steps back and admired his home for more than a year.
Although there were still two or three hours until sunset, he paid the helpers and masons one day's wages and asked them to get off work early. Then Zhang Heng found the radish that was grazing leisurely by the house, and rode it to Matthew's house next door.
Wendy was sitting on the steps at the door of the house, waiting for him early.
"How's it going? Do you want to try again today?" The girl saw him, stood up and patted the dust on her skirt and asked.
Zhang Heng nodded.
"Then I'll call father." Wendy ran into the room briskly after leaving these words.
…………
Two minutes later the three of them stood in front of the horse pen.
"Are you ready?" Matthew asked.
"Uh-huh, let's get started." Zhang Heng took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the horse pen, stepped in, and then put down the wooden latch.
There was only one horse in the stable, a pure black horse with dark and shiny fur.
According to Matthew, it was originally the leader of a large group of wild horses on the grassland. It had the most bad temper and was difficult to tame. Within a week after being brought here, it got into great trouble. It broke the horse pen and escaped with the other horses. , went to freedom.
Afterwards, Matthew had to spend several days to find it and build a separate horse pen for it. Wendy also gave it a bad boy name.
According to the previous contract between Zhang Heng and Wendy, Bad Boy now belongs to him, but a month and a half later, Zhang Heng has still not been able to ride it away.
Zhang Heng has experienced the bad boy's bad temper many times. Just yesterday, he was dragged five meters away on the ground by the bad boy like a rag. The scratches on his arms are still there.
But before he could recover, Zhang Heng came to challenge again. After a month and a half of Matthew's careful training, Zhang Heng was no longer the rookie who couldn't even control a carrot. His equestrian skills have now officially broken through. The mark of lv1.
However, in the repeated battles of wits and courage with the bad boy, Zhang Heng also realized that level 1 could not tame this wild dark horse. However, Zhang Heng did not give up. After experiencing so many copies, he mastered various After learning the skills, Zhang Heng became more and more sure of one thing, that is, the most powerful skill of human beings is actually learning.
Summarizing experience from failure after failure and constantly looking for solutions to problems are abilities that many creatures in nature possess, but only humans have exploited this ability to the extreme.
This is like playing "Sekiro". At first, you were tortured by various bosses and you doubted your life. But you failed again and again, just like in a classroom. When you have mastered all the knowledge points taught by the teacher, it is time to take the graduation exam. .
Zhang Heng pulled down his hat, took the lasso thrown by Matthew, and waved it above his head.
The bad boy on the other side seemed to know that his old enemy was coming. He stopped walking leisurely and began to dig up the ground with his horse's hooves. At the same time, the horse's ears were pointed down and its teeth were exposed.
After that, before Zhang Heng could take action, it rushed over first and gave Zhang Heng a brutal collision.
However, if Zhang Heng could be hit by it, the dexterity he had developed during his years as a pirate would be in vain. He moved sideways and easily dodged the sneak attack.
But the bad boy was determined to bite him again.
Zhang Heng hesitated, and finally chose to squat down to avoid it again.
In fact, the bad boy's cool swing also revealed a flaw. Last time, Zhang Heng caught its flaw and threw the noose around its neck.
After that... Zhang Heng turned into a rag and was dragged on the ground for a while.
This trick worked well against ordinary horses, but it was completely ineffective against Bad Boy.
The strength of this violent dark horse was astonishing. After such a long period of training, Zhang Heng's strength had already improved, but he was still no match for it. He was carried away with its brute force.
So this time, Zhang Heng did not take action rashly, but chose to be cowardly first, allowing the black guy to be proud first, and continue to wait for the opportunity.
In fact, there are only a few types of attack methods for horses. Zhang Heng was having fun during this period of time, and he also named these methods with the same skills based on the game, such as the [Savage Crash] just now. In addition, there are [Death Trample] that lifts the hooves, [Dragon Shakes its Head] that flicks its head, and [See You Again] that kicks its legs backwards, and [Violent Bite] that is a gentleman's word but not action.
In addition, there are also some languid horses that will step on your feet secretly when you are not paying attention. If you are stepped on by them, they will stand there like a normal horse, admiring the beautiful scenery around them and mouthing. Breathe the fresh air of nature, and then you can enjoy the sour feeling of four to five hundred pounds of weight pressing on your feet.
Although the bad boy is more violent, his attack methods do not exceed the above categories.
After a set of four combos of [Savage Crash] + [Dragon Swinging Head] + [Frenzy Bite] + [See You Again], it entered the skill CD period, and then the bad boy turned around and looked at the thing in front of him triumphantly. Zhang Heng, if he could talk, he would most likely have added, "Stupid human being, you are too young to ride on me~"
