Chapter 2: Restarting After Rest
Not long after, Mudan Xing suddenly felt the pressure on his body disappear, so he immediately stood up, as kneeling was not something he was accustomed to. At this time, the surrounding crowd had yet to recover from the intense pressure and were still prostrate on the ground, and he knew that King Hades, that sinister old fellow, had already left the palace of Argos.
Looking at the crowd that was still bewildered, Xue Chen decided to find a place to rest first. After all, he had just relied on his strong willpower to resist the pressure of an Olympian god. The so-called divine power was not false at all, and now his whole body was soaked in sweat.
It has to be said that gold, a currency used since ancient times, is really useful. After Mo Xing gave a passerby a gold coin made in the real world, he immediately knew where the best hotel was located.
So far, all the movies that Muxin Xing has entered are English-speaking. It just so happens that in real-life China, English is a compulsory foreign language for each school. Therefore, his English grades are still good, and he also knows a little Japanese. He learned Japanese by watching Japanese animations, while English was to cope with exams and find work in the future.
If he encounters a movie in another language, then he's got no way out. However, it seems that he remembers most of the movies on his computer are English dialogue with Chinese subtitles, so language is not a problem at all.
Don't ask me why ancient Greeks are now all speaking English in this obvious question, this movie was originally shot by Warner Bros. of the United States, and American movies are mostly spoken in English!
On his way to the inn, Mo Xing met with some minor troubles. Hooligans and rascals exist in every country, whether it's modern society or ancient Greece, there are always a certain number of them everywhere.
Mudan Xing had just used gold coins to ask for directions when he was extremely luckily spotted by a group of local snakes.
In their eyes, a fat sheep like Mo Dun Xing was not often seen, so seven or eight shabbily dressed men with ill intentions surrounded him from all sides.
The crowd around watched as the outsider was targeted by the city's thugs and couldn't help but shake their heads in sympathy for the poor outsider. In the eyes of these ordinary people, this outsider seemed destined to be unlucky and lose money, but they didn't know that this outsider wasn't a fat sheep in the eyes of the thugs, but a fierce tiger that would erupt and hurt people at any time.
Mudan Xing casually looked at the group of people who were getting closer and closer, their faces full of malice. Before they could even open their mouths to say some polite words, he directly punched the one closest to him, sending him flying into the air. Then, taking advantage of the thugs' momentary shock at this sudden change, he followed up with several heavy punches, knocking all the stunned thugs to the ground.
Mudan Xing doesn't have the habit of waiting for his opponent to make the first move before counterattacking. When faced with those who dare to provoke him or pose a potential threat, he will always take the initiative to strike first, and only by doing so can he effectively deter those who are planning to cause trouble.
Although he had shown mercy when throwing the punch, due to Mudan Xing's current strength having surpassed that of an ordinary person, all these insolent thugs who dared to provoke him would have to stay in bed for at least a while after being hit by his fist.
Among the stunned expressions of the onlookers, Mudan Xing, an outsider who should have been a victim in their eyes, had become the perpetrator. Meanwhile, the thugs who were supposed to be the perpetrators were all lying on the ground, unconscious. The outcome was truly unexpected.
After dealing with the thugs, the crowd immediately gave way to him as he walked towards the inn. Seeing the gaze in the eyes of the people around him, Muxing Xing smiled indifferently. This is what it means to be feared by others but not show weakness, otherwise troubles will come one after another.
Looking at the inn in front of him, Xue Chen lost his temper and shook his head. This was too shabby! The whole house only had two floors up and down, if no one pointed it out, people who came for the first time would definitely not find it.
If it weren't for the large area of the house, it would be no different from the other houses around. In order to quickly wash away the sweat and replenish water, he had no choice but to reluctantly head inside, after all, he had just forcibly resisted Hades' pressure and his body was really exhausted.
"Ah, old... sir... hello..." The shop assistant immediately went up to greet the customer with a very professional smile when he saw someone entering the inn, but found that the other party was actually a stranger he had never seen before.
He couldn't help but hesitate, wondering if the other person could understand what he was saying. After all, the dialect of outsiders sounded very strange, but immediately the words from the outsider's mouth made him let out a sigh of relief.
"I can understand what you're saying! Prepare the best room for me, hot water for bathing, and the most delicious food you have here." Ignoring the surprised gazes of other travelers around him, Mudan Xing tossed a few gold coins to the fellow standing beside him.
The fellow, having received the gold coins, immediately led Mu Chen Xing to the best room in the inn with great enthusiasm. Such a generous guest cannot be offended, otherwise his boss will definitely fire him.
After taking a look at this so-called best guest room, Muxin Xing curled her lips and had no choice but to accept that these were the conditions in ancient times.
Not long after he had taken off all his equipment, the fellow came to the door again and politely informed Mudanxing that the hot water he wanted was ready.
After washing away all the sweat, Xue Chen came to his room feeling refreshed. Before long, the food he wanted was delivered one by one. The wheat bread in front of him, a small plate of rolled cabbage and other vegetables, a plate of roasted meat with some cheese, and an earthen jar of fish soup - these were the best dishes this inn had to offer.
After taking a small bite of the roasted meat and bread, Muxu Xing lost his faith in what was supposed to be the best food here. It's no wonder he didn't have much appetite; for someone who had grown up in a country with thousands of years of cooking history like Muxu Xing, these things simply lacked any flavor.
The roasted meat and fish soup in front of him, except for salt, did not have any other seasonings. For Mudan Xing, who was used to eating food made with various seasonings, it was simply impossible to eat. Moreover, the fish soup had a strong fishy smell that was unique to sea fish. As a result, Mudan Xing reluctantly started eating the vegetables, fruits, and cheese on the table, which were things he rarely ate normally.
Although the barbecue and other foods don't taste very good, they still have some advantages compared to real food. For example, vegetables and fruits are definitely purely natural and will not contain any residual pesticides, while those meats will not contain anything like lean meat essence!
As Mudanxing was carelessly eating the fruits and vegetables on the table, the originally quiet outside occasionally transmitted bursts of noise.
As the sound grew louder and louder, Mudan Xing curiously opened the door of her house to see what was happening.
At this time, everyone was talking about something and their expressions were extremely tense. Muxin Xing saw the partner who had just led the way for himself, and curiously asked while pulling him over: "What's going on here?"
"Who is it... Ah, it's you, sir... Just now, news came from the palace that the great King Hades has arrived at the palace and announced that he will use Princess Argos as a sacrifice to the gods. If not, the sea monster will come here in ten days to completely destroy the city of Argos. Now everyone is discussing what to do about it!" Just as he was about to complain about someone suddenly grabbing his clothes from behind, his companion found out that it was Mudan Xing, a great noble guest, and immediately smiled and replied.
It seems that Hades' request has been known to the whole city! Next is the time when Perseus and his party will make their appearance.
Tomorrow those guys should set off, thinking of this, Muxu Xing didn't care about the outside gossip and directly returned to his own room to rest.
The next morning, the noise came again from outside. Muxing Xing knew that Perseus and the guards were going to ask those three witches with extraordinary looks for ways to defeat the North Sea giant monster. However, the surrounding crowd asked them not to go, lest they continue to offend the gods! Of course, as the protagonist, Perseus and his party did not heed these absurd reasons from passersby A, B, C, and D.
By the way, the appearance of those three witches in the movie is really... too sorry for the audience, it's just unknown how their mother gave birth to such three extreme products!
After equipping all his gear, Muxu Xing left the inn and made his way through the crowd to the city gate. At this time, two hunters volunteered to join Dopper's party. After a brief self-introduction, they were also accepted by Dopper and his group.
Just as Perseus and his companions were about to leave after the two hunters joined, a voice rose from behind them, causing everyone to stop again in their tracks.
"Wait a minute, I'm joining you too!"
"You... outsider, you were just talking, asking to join us!" The group of Perseus stopped in their tracks and turned around to find that the speaker was a stranger they had never seen before. The leader of the group, an old soldier, asked in puzzlement.
"That's right... it's me. My strength in dealing with monsters is also pretty good!" Mu Chen Xing smiled and replied, looking at the crowd.
"Stranger, this journey isn't a joke! Death can appear at any time ahead, I think you'd better give up!" The old soldier said kindly, looking at Mudan Xing's pale skin.
Compared with these warriors, Mochou Xing was also too delicate. So he was misunderstood as an ordinary person with weak strength again.
But Muxun Xing didn't argue with them about anything, he directly explained everything with his own strength.
Against the city wall, a powerful kick was delivered, leaving a shocking slash mark on the wall. The crowd gasped in unison as they witnessed this scene.
What kind of move is this that the ancient Greeks had never seen before? To the onlookers, it was truly too miraculous. After kicking into the air, he actually left a knife-like mark on the stone wall not far away, and now Muxu Xing's powerful strength was fully displayed.
"Now I can join in, right?" Mu Chen Xing said with a smile, looking at the crowd who were shocked by his displayed strength.
"Welcome to join!" Perseus looked at Muxin Xing with a smile and said.
