    Chongzhen, August of the twelfth year.  Jiangnan, Jinling.  At this time, it was the provincial examination, and students from all over the country flocked to it. It was the busiest time.  Although the rebels were raging in the north, there were rebellions in Shaanxi, Henan and other places.  But it cannot extinguish the enthusiasm of students from all over the world to seek fame.  Wandong strolled on the streets of Jinling. The purpose of this trip was to find a few suitable followers and guards.  Otherwise, you have to do everything yourself, and you will be exhausted sooner or later.  Following the crowd, Wandong arrived at Jinling Pier unknowingly.  Now is the season for water transportation, and the dock is extremely busy.  Busy traffic and huge crowds of people.  Wandong is like a bystander, observing everything happening here.  Soon, someone caught Wandong¡¯s attention.  A sand ship is unloading goods at the pier, and dozens of porters are carrying it up and down.  But there is one person who stands out.  Others are carrying a big bag every time, and they need to move it to the open space under the boat where the goods are piled.  But that person stood out among this group of people.  He is at least 1.9 meters tall and wears a shabby short coat. His skin is dark and shiny when exposed to the sun.  I saw him carrying a big bag on his shoulder and resting it on his head, holding two more big bags between his arms, walking swiftly on and off the boat.  Such a fierce man is really a good guard material.  Wandong looked at the big man silently.  It didn¡¯t take long, and with the hard work of dozens of porters, the entire ship¡¯s cargo was unloaded.  The people who had been working just now took the counting bamboo sticks and went to the foreman to get their money.  Wan Dong also walked that way slowly.  After a while, I heard a quarrel coming from over there.  He immediately leaned closer to listen, and a thunderous voice was saying why the money given to him was so small, and it was not enough for him to eat.  The one who made the sound was the guard that Wandong was interested in.  The big man, who was nearly a head taller than everyone else, was really conspicuous.  The big man just kept complaining that he had done the work of three people, but only gave less than two people money, and begged the foreman to give him the money.  The foreman said lazily: "Big man, this is the rule here. You did the work of three people. But if you did the work of more than one person, you will be paid half the wages. This is the rule."  Still waiting to argue, the foreman said: "If you are not satisfied, you won't have to do the work in the future." If he is not allowed to work here in the future, he will have no choice but to go hungry.  The big man had no choice but to acquiesce to the bullying.  After collecting the wages of dozens of copper coins, he sighed and squeezed out of the crowd.  These copper coins are not enough for me to eat two meals, and I am hungry and don¡¯t have enough strength.  When the time comes, if I do less work, those foremen will find trouble and deduct my wages, which is really annoying.  When he was angry, someone tapped him on the shoulder.  The big man turned around and saw that he was a richly dressed young man.  The big man touched his head and said with a naive smile: "Does this young master want me to do the work? I am very strong. It is not a problem for one person to do the work of four or five people. You only need to pay me the wages of three people."  Wan Dong looked at him with a smile and asked, "What's your name?" "My name is Lei Peng." The big man replied.  "Lei Peng, is there anyone else in your family?" Lei Peng felt a little sad when he heard this, and said, "My father and my mother have passed away, and I am the only one in the family." Wandong sighed, the same as himself.  , who was an orphan, said: "Come with me, I will take you to eat." When Lei Peng heard that there was food, he immediately beamed and followed Wan Dong's footsteps.  When passing by a ready-made clothing store, Wandong saw that Lei Peng's clothes were really torn, with holes and cuts everywhere, and they didn't fit very well, so he took Lei Peng into the ready-made clothing store.  When the waiter at the ready-made clothing store saw Wandong coming in, he immediately came up to him and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, we want to make ready-made clothes. Our store" Wandong raised his hand to stop the waiter's endless introduction, pointed and followed.  Lei Peng behind him said, "Make him ten sets of clothes, as well as shoes and socks. Use good fabrics, and the sooner the better. If they are done before noon tomorrow, I will give you five times the price." The man looked at Lei Peng.  , what a strong man.  It was really lucky that I climbed to a high branch.  I actually got ten sets of clothes in one go.  Lei Peng stood there stupidly, letting the masters who gathered around him measure the size.  After measuring the size, Wandong dropped a piece of silver worth ten taels and said, "This is the deposit. The sooner you do it, the better." The clerk put away the money and agreed hurriedly.  Wan Dong turned around and took Lei Peng out of the clothing store.  Lei Peng was still a little dumbfounded. He only wore new clothes when his parents were still alive when he was a child.  Ever since my parents passed away, I haven't even touched new clothes, let alone wearing them.  I don¡¯t know why this young man made so many sets of clothes for himself.    But apart from being strong and able to work, I don¡¯t know anything else.  Lei Peng, who was helpless, couldn't think of any reason, so he simply didn't think about anything at all.  Anyway, whatever the young master asks me to do, I can do it myself.  Wandong walked leisurely for a while and arrived at the famous Heming Tower in Jinling City.  Wandong raised his legs and stepped in. Lei Peng, who was dressed in rags, was about to follow, but was stopped by the waiter in front of the door.  "Big man, what are you doing? Is this a place where you can come?" The man waved his hand in disgust and said, "Go quickly, go quickly. Don't block the door and delay our business." Wandong heard what the man said,  Looking back, Lei Peng was stopped by the waiter and was stunned at the door.  After waving to Lei Peng, Lei Peng immediately pushed the waiter away and walked a few steps to Wandong's side.  The guy staggered when he was pushed and almost fell down.  Cursing, he stood up and was about to call others to come over and beat this big, blind man.  But when he saw the big man walking up behind the richly dressed young man, the young man glared at him fiercely.  I immediately understood that this was the noble young master's entourage, but I didn't know why he was dressed in such rags. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? Wandong ignored him and turned to go upstairs. Lei Peng quickly followed, but no one stopped him this time.  We went to the third floor and found a table next to the window, overlooking the street outside.  Another waiter will come to serve you soon.  Wan Dong knocked on the table and said, "If there is anything ready-made, just serve some first, then make a few signature dishes and serve a flower carving." The waiter left in response.  Wandong pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Lei Peng, sit there." Lei Peng has completely lost his ability to think. He made himself new clothes and took himself to such a big restaurant.  How much work do you have to do to cover the expenses?  Not long after, the cut beef, whole roast chicken, and fat duck were served at a reasonable price.  Wandong said with a smile: "Lei Peng, come on, eat. I just said I would take you to eat. Open it up and eat until you are full. Just don't overeat." Lei Peng glanced at Wandong and said cautiously.  "Young Master, did you really let me eat it?" Wandong smiled and nodded.  Looking at the table full of chicken, duck and fish, Lei Peng, who was already hungry, picked up a roast chicken and started wolfing it down.  A waiter made Wandong a cup of tea. Wandong wasn't very hungry, so he just waited for the restaurant's signature dishes to be served before eating.  Ignoring Lei Peng's wind and lingering clouds on the opposite side, Wandong summoned the astrolabe light screen.  Above the white light ball that represents the power of the first-level world, the number that increases every day has reached 12.8 points.  Now, those who can be exiled have almost all been moved to Australia. Others are either not suitable for exile for the time being, or their specific locations have not been found.  Wan Dong has begun to explore other means of obtaining the power of the world, but has not found a more specific and effective method yet.  "If he quelled the uprising peasant armies, defeated the Qing army, and then overthrew the Ming court, he would definitely have influenced the world.  I just don¡¯t know how much world power this can bring to me.  Then continue to conquer various surrounding small countries, expedition to other continents, and finally unify the earth of this era into one country. Hey, I guess the power of the world will surge in.  Since there is a high possibility, Wandong decided to implement this plan.  After waiting for a few years, at the critical moment, he would take action and defeat all the people and forces one by one.  The serving speed of the restaurant is quite fast, and after a while, several signature dishes also arrived one after another.  Wandong retracted the light screen, poured himself a glass of wine, and tasted the restaurant's craftsmanship with chopsticks.  Wandong and Lei Peng were eating and drinking when several young people came up on the third floor.  They are all wearing robes and Confucian scarves and holding folding fans. You can tell at a glance that they are scholars.  Several people ordered some wine and food at the table on one side and started talking loudly. Although they didn't intend to listen, the sound reached Wandong's ears.  What they are talking about is the Oiran Competition that will be held at Zuixian Tower tomorrow.  Most of the popular prostitutes from all over the south of the Yangtze River will appear.  Wandong heard it and was also very interested.  He checked the information a few days ago and found that Liu Rushi had not yet married the hypocrite Qian Qianyi at this time, and Dong Xiaowan had not jumped into the fire pit of Mao Pijiang.  ¡°I have been in this era for more than a month, and I have not seen a woman who matches my aesthetics. I wonder if all the beauties are hidden at home.  I'll go to this oiran competition tomorrow and hope I won't let myself down.  More than two hours later, when Lei Peng had eaten and drank enough, Wandong took him back to the inn.  In the room, Wandong asked: "Lei Peng, are you satisfied with this meal?" Lei Peng nodded hurriedly and said:??Since I can remember, I have never eaten so well and so full. If you want me to do anything, please just ask me.  " Wandong said: "Who do you think I look like?  " "Young Master is a wealthy man.  " "My surname is Wan Mingdong. I don't have a word for the time being. I am not from this world.  Will you follow me?  Not in three to five years, but in your whole life.  It is not limited to this Ming Dynasty, but in the endless vast world.  If you are willing, I will ensure that you have enough food and clothing.  " "I only have this humble life. The young master can give me a mouthful of food and clothes.  No matter where the young master takes me, I will always obey the young master¡¯s orders from now on.  "Lei Peng obviously doesn't understand the meaning of 'boundary' yet. He just vaguely understands that he will follow Wandong to a far away place. But what does it matter? Wandong nodded and said: "You will not regret the decision you made today.  No matter what happens next, don't panic and yell, got it?  "It was also the first time that Wandong used an astrolabe to recruit attendants, so he gave Lei Peng a vaccination first. Lei Peng nodded blankly, not knowing what Wandong was going to do. Wandong called out the light curtain and opened the attendant's one  Select the option to operate. A point of white light floated out from Wandong's index finger, and it quickly grew in size and covered Lei Peng. His eyes widened, and a specific value appeared on the light screen - he covered his mouth tightly with his two big hands.  Name: Lei Peng Age: 19 years old Race: Different time and space earth human (yellow race) Height: 1.95 meters Talent: infinite strength Ability: None Expertise: none Equipment: none Transforming the current target into a follower requires the consumption of first-level world power  50 points for assimilation. The target's consent is required during transformation, and the transformation cannot be forced. After transformation, the servant will not do anything harmful to you, and will share its lifespan with you. You can also use the power of the world to grant talents, abilities, and expertise.  Deprived. This is Wandong¡¯s first time transforming a servant. It turns out that the better he is, the more benefits he will get from the servant.  That means you can always live. After more than a month of accumulation, Wandong's first-level world power has risen to three digits, reaching 283 points. After consuming 50 points, he chose to issue an update from Wandong's finger.  Many white light spots merged into the aperture close to the surface of Lei Peng's body. The aperture first emitted a strong light, then penetrated into Lei Peng's body little by little, and finally disappeared without a trace.  He stood there, stunned by this bizarre scene. After accepting Lei Peng as his attendant, Wandong saw several more functions in the attendant item of the astrolabe. Among them were the gifts and gifts.  Ability, grant expertise, and a space called attendant storage. Wandong immediately divided a cubic meter of space for the attendant, and then let him try to use it.  Lei Peng quickly mastered how to use the storage space, putting in and taking out the teapots and cups on the table, and had a great time exiling dozens of rebel leaders, and naturally he did not let go of their treasure Wandong.  Gold and silver jewelry, agate jade, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, countless things. Wandong, who has become increasingly powerful in the world, expanded the storage space by thirty cubic meters and put all the treasures that he had obtained through illegal means.  He drove Lei Peng to sleep in a guest room and told him not to use the storage space easily in front of others. He teleported to Champa and bought dozens of kilos of rice and sent the first two to the exiled people.  Ten stones of rice is obviously not enough. These people have contributed a lot of treasure, and Wandong is embarrassed to let them starve to death soon. Now Wandong is still very moral. </a><a>Mobile phone.  Users please go to </a>
