Chapter 12: The Jianghu, Starting from a Horse Keeper, Traveling Through the Post-Apocalyptic World Book Library

  When he woke up from his sleep, the hour hand on the clock had already pointed to 11:30. There were still half an hour left before Jianghu would open.

  He got out of bed and walked into his own bathroom to wash his face, making his brain a little clearer.

  After a nap, the pain from my wound has slightly subsided. However, I still feel that I shouldn't engage in overly strenuous exercise, fortunately, we're just playing games next, which doesn't require intense physical activity.

  After washing and dressing, Bu Fan returned to the bed, picked up the B-3 tactile helmet placed beside him, put it on his head, and then came back to the Jianghu Grand Hall.

  "Master, you're back!" As soon as Bu Fan appeared, his beautiful maid servant Jiaojiao seemed to appear out of nowhere like a ghost.

  However, compared to the afternoon, Diao Chan was no longer dressed in palace attire, but instead wore a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her beautiful curves, leaving nothing to the imagination and giving Bu Fan a visual feast.

  Especially that tender "master", made Bu Fan's heart feel a wave of numbness, almost wanting to stretch out his own claws.

  Fortunately, Bu Fan lightly bit his lip at the critical moment and calmed down. He nodded slightly towards Diao Chan and said: "Diao Chan, won't the 'Jianghu' world be opening soon?"

  Upon hearing Bu Fan's words, Diao Chan gazed at him with a hint of resentment and then softly said: "Yes, Master of the Heavenly Book Library, just wait for a moment and the World Gate in the middle of the grand hall will open. Once you step through the World Gate, Master can enter the Jianghu world. However, before entering the Jianghu world, Master must first establish his own Avatar File. The Avatar File will remain in the grand hall, recording everything that happens to Master in Jianghu, including his identity and background!"

  "Oh? There's such a saying too? Alright, then create a duplicate file for me now!" Bu Fan looked at Diao Chan with surprise, then nodded and said calmly.

  Upon hearing Bu Fan's answer, Diao Chan's eyes flashed with a hint of mysterious brilliance, and then she led Bu Fan to a circular stone platform.

  "Please step onto the stone platform!" Diao Chan pointed at the stone platform and said softly to Bu Fan.

  Bù fán xìn bù zǒu le shàng qù, ér hòu, shí tái zhī shàng, měng rán jiān mào qǐ le yī tuán lán guāng, jiāng Bù fán de shēn xíng kùn zài le lǐ miàn.

  "Master, after you enter the Jianghu, will you continue to use your original name or change to a new one?" Diao Chan's voice passed through the light circle and directly entered Pei Fan's mind.

  After listening, Bu Fan was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and finally said: "Use the original name!"

  He uses his real name, but it's a kind of pressure he puts on himself. As everyone knows, when playing games with one's real name, it's easy to be found by enemies and get revenge in real life, and what Bufen wants to do is to put such a shackle on himself.

  Because for Jianghu, for Bu Fan, it's not just a simple game, but also the hope of his evolution, he doesn't want to always hold onto the mentality of playing games.

  "Alright, now let's start creating the duplicate model!" Just as Bu Fan confirmed the name, Diao Chan said calmly.

  Then, Bu Fan only felt that his body was slightly numb and painful, and then a shadow walked out of his body.

  Right after that, the blue light dispersed and Bu Fan found that beside him, a being made of light appeared on top of the stone pedestal. This being was exactly like him but his facial expression was very empty. On top of his head were two big Chinese characters "Bu Fan".

  Bo Fan curiously sized him up, as if looking at another self in the mirror, while secretly admiring his own handsome face.

  "Huh, Master, the Jianghu Boundary Gate has opened. Will you enter Jianghu now?" Just as Bu Fan was sizing up his own split-body model, Diao Chan suddenly reminded him at this time.

  "Huh? Is that so? Then I'll enter the Jianghu first, and I don't even know what kind of world it is inside!" Bu Fan said hastily, then turned around and walked towards the light gate emitting white light at the end of the great hall.

  "Anyway, considering the master's temperament is not bad, I'll help you this time. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your luck." After Bu Fan left, Diao Chan's face suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, and he said in a low voice. Then a white light shot out from his fingertips and landed on Bu Fan's split-body model.

  At this moment, Bu Fan happened to step into the light gate.

  In the light gate, the white light was dazzling, Bu Fan couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, what appeared before him was a completely different scene.

  This is an old-fashioned house, just like the ones seen in TV dramas before, full of ancient style, with spacious rooms filled with wooden furniture.

  "Hmm? Have I arrived in the world of Jianghu already?" Bu Fan saw a copper mirror on the wooden table inside the house, immediately got out of bed and walked to the front of the copper mirror, looking at the image inside.

  This is a face that looks exactly like Bu Fan's, only slightly more immature, looking more like 15 or 16-year-old Bu Fan.

  "Hmm, so what's my identity anyway? What should I do next? Take on a quest or go out and kill monsters? Don't know how to open the attribute panel..." Stefon thought curiously in front of the copper mirror.

  "Bo Fan, Bo Fan, you little scamp, have you sneaked back into the house to sleep in again? Come out here at once, no loafing around!" Just as Bo Fan was pondering his own identity, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door.

  Then, his door was kicked open with one foot, and a burly man with a thick beard walked in from outside.

  He saw Bu Fan still standing in front of the copper mirror, and immediately walked up to him with big strides, slapping a palm on the back of Bu Fan's head, shouting loudly: "You coward, only knowing how to slack off and hide in the house, come on, follow me out to work!"

  "What work? What kind of work?" Bufen subconsciously asked when he heard the strong man's words.

  "What are you doing? You're Miss's groom, what else can you do? Harness the horse, Miss wants to go out for a stroll! Damn it, how did I end up with such an idle good-for-nothing like you?" The big man heard Bu Fan's response and couldn't help but slap Bu Fan's occipital bone again, but the force was not very great, apparently, this big man didn't seem as angry as he sounded.

  Bu Fan looked silly and followed Da Han out of the room, heading towards the so-called stable, while secretly thinking about his current situation in his heart.

  "Damn it, is this what they mean by identity matching? I've matched with a horse husband's identity!" Stepping on the memory of Jianghu data in his mind, as well as Qiao Yurou's reminder at the meeting, Bu Fan couldn't help but slap his thigh and say angrily.

  "Bang!"

  Bofan's occipital bone was slapped again with a light slap!

  "You silly fool, being a groom is not enough for you, don't you think about how many people in the manor want to be a groom for the young lady but can't? You're still here picking and choosing, hurry up and go to the stable to harness the horse carriage, the young lady will be going out soon!" The slap came from the big guy beside him, apparently, he had heard Bufen's angry curse earlier and subconsciously thought this guy was complaining about his own status.

  "Uncle, can you help me out?" After being slapped again, Bu Fan finally stopped thinking about it and considered his current situation, asking the big man beside him for help.

  He had already sensed it, although the big man beside him was patting him, but between the lines, there was a hint of familiarity, apparently, he had a good relationship with this body.

  "Come on, what's your new trick, kid? I told you before, no slacking off! This time I'm going out with you!"

  "Uncle, I forgot how to ride a horse, why don't you come with me and teach me?" Bufan plucked up the courage at this time and said softly to the big man beside him.

  Of course, he was also ready to escape at any time. If this big man gave him another angry blow, he couldn't just take it for nothing.
