"So cool!"
"Mr. Jaxon, you're amazing."
"Mr. Jaxon, have you trained before? How can you be so good?"
After Brother Ox led his group away, the students who had been watching couldn't stop expressing their amazement.
In fact, ever since Jaxon had made his move, the students had been in a state of shock. It wasn't until Jaxon had dealt with Brother Ox and his gang that they snapped out of their stunned daze.
Initially, seeing that Brother Ox and his group had the advantage in numbers, the students thought Jaxon would be at a disadvantage. However, they never expected Jaxon to take care of them in just a few moves. In front of Jaxon, none of them seemed to stand a chance.
No wonder Mr. Jaxon didn't want our help. It wasn't arrogance on his part; he really was that strong.
"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key," Jaxon said with a smile to the crowd. "Does anyone else want to order more barbecue? If not, let's wrap it up."
Jaxon didn't want to keep being the center of attention, like a monkey on display.
"I'll order!"
"Me too, I want to eat more."
Many students who had already finished eating and were about to leave changed their minds on the spot and ordered more barbecue. They just wanted to talk to Jaxon and ask him how he became so amazing.
The news and the video of the fight were also sent back to the university by the students, and many were amazed by Jaxon's skills.
"Feifei, I never expected your boyfriend to be so amazing," Xiao Yun said, watching the video where Jaxon single-handedly took down Brother Ox and his gang, a mix of astonishment and envy in her voice.
"Don't even mention it. I told you he's not my boyfriend anymore. You almost embarrassed me to death last night," Lily shot her roommate a glance and said.
"Alright, alright, I won't bring it up," Xiao Yun said. After what happened last night and Lily's repeated explanations, Xiao Yun and Xiao Ru seemed to be starting to believe Lily's words. "But Mr. Jaxon is really handsome. Don't you want to reconsider?"
"You go if you want. I'm not going," Lily replied.
"Even if I went, Mr. Jaxon wouldn't be interested in me," Xiao Yun said. "But you're different. If you made a move, you'd definitely succeed. Then you could have an earth-shattering teacher-student romance. Wouldn't that be romantic?"
"Romantic, my foot," Lily retorted. "If the school found out, they'd either expel him or me."
"So that's what you're worried about," Xiao Yun said. "Why don't you just keep it a secret? It sounds pretty thrilling."
"That's not what I mean," Lily said. "Anyway, it's impossible."
"Maybe not," Xiao Yun said. "My intuition tells me that something is bound to happen between you and Mr. Jaxon in the future."
"My intuition is wrong," Lily said.
"Is it? We'll see about that," Xiao Yun said.
While Lily and her roommates were watching the video of Jaxon, Chloe and Tang Yufei also saw it. However, unlike Lily and her friends, who were just watching for entertainment, Chloe and Tang Yufei watched the video with serious, thoughtful expressions.
Jaxon and Liu Yidao stayed busy until around one o'clock, packing up their stall and heading back. Thanks to their thorough preparations in the afternoon, there were no shortages of ingredients today.
After a quick wash and change, Jaxon once again appeared in the game world.
Back in the game world, he still had to travel. It wasn't until noon that Jaxon arrived in front of a city.
"Is this the county town? It looks quite similar to the ancient cities in Huaxia," Jaxon stood in front of the city gate, gazing at the two elegant characters written on the city wall, and sighed.
Qingyuan!
Qingyuan County was Jaxon's destination this time. The city had a city wall about six meters high, with a moat about ten meters wide outside the wall. The width of the city gate was enough for two carriages to pass side by side.
At the city gate, there were also soldiers in armor on duty.
"I don't recognize you. What are you here for?" As Jaxon was about to pass through the city gate and enter, he was stopped by a soldier.
"I'm from Hermit Village. I'm here to serve in the military," Jaxon said.
"Hermit Village? Is there such a place?" The soldier thought for a moment but couldn't recall the name.
"You're new here. It's normal that you don't know," At this moment, a slightly older soldier walked over and looked at Jaxon. "You're from Hermit Village? It's been a long time since anyone from there has come to the county town."
"Yes, I'm from Hermit Village," Jaxon took out his travel permit and, at the same time, wondered curiously. It was understandable that the old village head hadn't come to the county town for a long time due to his age, but hadn't the Liu merchant also been absent for a while? How did his shop restock its goods? Was it through delivery?
The older soldier looked at Jaxon's travel permit and didn't make things difficult for him. He even gave him directions: "The reporting point is in the central square of the city. These days, many people from the villages and townships are coming to report in. You'll see it once you get there."
"Thank you," Jaxon took back his travel permit and expressed his gratitude.
The soldier wasn't lying. When Jaxon arrived near the square, he saw many people rushing toward it, most of them carrying bundles, and some even had weapons and armor.
Jaxon had learned from the old village head before that for conscripts like them, the imperial court did not provide weapons or equipment. Only the regular army, the professional soldiers, had those things.
However, there was a salary, although it was much less than that of the regular army.
This was the difference between the regular army and their ragtag troops.
So, for those coming to serve in the military and wanting to enhance their strength and ensure their safety, they needed to prepare their own weapons and equipment. This was also why the old village head had prepared those things for Jaxon.
As soon as Jaxon arrived at the square, he attracted a lot of attention. It wasn't because people sensed his protagonist aura or because of some kind of domineering presence. It was simply because of his attire.
The other conscripts had very rudimentary weapons and equipment. Some swords and knives were even rusty and had nicks. As for armor, it was a luxury. Out of a hundred people, there might not even be one who had it.
While everyone else was dressed and equipped simply, Jaxon was fully armed from head to toe, and his gear clearly looked extraordinary. No wonder everyone noticed him.
Although he felt a bit uncomfortable with the attention, Jaxon had no intention of putting away his gear. If he didn't wear it now, it would be hard to explain where it came from later. He couldn't very well say it just appeared out of nowhere, could he?
