Chapter 5 Physical Improvement
The next day.
The morning light shines into the room through the curtains, and the crisp bird calls outside the window wake the city from its slumber.
Qi Sui sat up with messy hair, the quilt slipped off, revealing his slightly thin white chest.
"After a night of deep sleep, my mental strength has been replenished!"
"what--"
“It’s so comfortable!”
Qi Sui stretched out lazily, his muscles and bones crackling. He rushed into the bathroom in his slippers, the cold water splashed on his face, and he woke up instantly.
"panel!"
【Name: Qi Sui】
【Shouyuan: 18/96】
[Occupation: Scholar lv1 (76/10000)]
【Strength: 9】
[Agility: 8]
[Physique: 7]
【Spirit: 14】
[Vitality: 68/70]
[Mental power: 140/140]
[Basic professional skills: Reading comprehension level 9 (7637/10000)]
[Professional Advanced Skills: Focus lv1 (182/10000)]
[Professional advanced skills: Detection level 1 (57/10000)]
[Skill points: 1]
[Attribute points: 1]
"Add attribute points to physique!" Qi Sui made the decision.
Attribute points are very precious resources, and you can only gain one point each time you upgrade your profession.
Since you have decided to take the martial arts route, your attribute points should be prioritized towards strength or physique.
[Physique: 7+1]
[Life: 68+10/70+10]
【Lifespan: 18/96+1】
When the numbers changed, Qi Sui felt as if a warm current appeared out of nowhere in his body, flowing to his limbs and bones, nourishing his flesh, blood, and tendons.
He clenched his fists, his bones crackled, and his strength increased significantly.
My stomach was rumbling, I was so hungry that I felt like I could swallow a cow.
Looking closely, the lean and handsome young man in the mirror seemed to have grown a little taller, with more muscles on his body, and no longer looked as scary as before when he was just skin and bones.
"Physical fitness may be the foundation of the body, and the improvement it brings is all-round."
"Perhaps strength emphasizes burst?"
Qi Sui carefully felt the changes in his body: "The average four-dimensionality of adult males on Canglan Star should be 10 points, which is not a big difference!"
He is very satisfied with his progress.
You have to know that when he just got the professional panel three years ago, his four dimensions were all around 5 points, and he looked like a cripple.
The kind that almost suffocates after climbing to the fifth floor.
……
After a quick wash, Qi Sui changed into a clean set of casual clothes.
It was just after six o'clock, and he knocked on the door gently so as not to wake his parents who were still sleeping.
A cool breeze blew across his face, touching the ends of his hair.
Follow the road out of the community and turn left. The breakfast shop here has already opened.
The couple are also residents of the coal mining community. Since the mine was not profitable, they decided to resign and start their own business. They have run the breakfast shop for almost ten years. Although life is hard, they have made real money.
Their child chose the martial arts student route and was admitted to a well-ranked university three years ago.
At that time, wedding candies were also distributed to residents in the community.
So sweet!
"Uncle Lin, two servings of salty tofu pudding, five pork buns, five mutton buns, and three servings of egg and soy milk each."
"Xiao Qi, why did you eat so much today?"
The middle-aged man at the stall pulled the dough sticks and put them into the frying pan, then looked back with some surprise.
"I'm a little hungry today!"
Qi Sui rubbed his flat belly.
The strongest feeling brought about by physical growth is hunger.
"Okay, Xiao Qi, find a seat and I'll bring it to you right away."
Even though it’s just past six o’clock, there are quite a lot of people at the breakfast stall. Most of them are old residents nearby. The Lin family breakfast shop has been open for so many years, so the taste and quality are guaranteed.
Qi Sui found an old man to share a table with.
A few minutes later, ten big steaming buns were served.
He didn't care about the heat, he picked up one and bit into it. The skin was thin, the filling was rich, and the soup was juicy.
The slightly mutton-like smell blooms on your taste buds, giving you a strong sense of satisfaction.
That's an authentic thing!
It only takes three or five bites to finish a bun.
Then he grabbed another one and swallowed it together with the tofu pudding that had just been served.
Stomach hunger is slightly relieved.
"good to eat!"
Qi Sui didn't care about his eating manners and just gobbled it up in no time. The old man sitting opposite him was so stunned that he even forgot to put the egg soup scooped up by the spoon into his mouth.
"call!"
After the last egg went into his stomach, Qi Sui touched his round belly, stood up, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
The feeling of being full is really great.
"Uncle Lin, count the money."
"Forty-two, just remove the zero and give me forty!"
"okay!"
Qi Sui took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to transfer money. In other words, there was an extra 300,000 yuan in the card from his mother's support, otherwise he would not be willing to eat like this.
"Xiao Qi, have you been practicing martial arts recently?"
Uncle Lin came over curiously.
In his opinion, Qi Sui's appetite was obviously more exaggerated than before, almost catching up with his son who was training in martial arts university.
"Well, if I have such a plan, I'll just give it a try. Even if I can't continue to practice, it's always good to strengthen my body." Qi Sui replied with a smile.
"Okay, Xiao Qi, practice hard and make your bamboo-like body stronger. When you go to college in another place in the future, at least no one will dare to bully you!" Uncle Lin said with a smile.
In his understanding, what the young man meant by practicing martial arts should just be fitness.
After all, he is already eighteen years old this year.
It’s too late to start the martial arts path.
……
After leaving the breakfast stall, Qi Sui jogged all the way to the city center, just to digest his food.
Soon, he stopped in front of a VR experience store.
With the development of technology, computers are gradually being eliminated by the times, and VR virtual space has become a new alternative.
Currently, the prices are generally high, and the worst model costs 10 Xia coins, which is unaffordable for working-class families like Qi Sui.
"Boss, just drive for an hour, the cheapest one will do."
"50r."
After transfer.
Qi Sui received a string of verification codes and walked deeper into the store. The chairs in the aisle were crooked and many people who had stayed up all night were sleeping.
"No. A78!"
I found the spot and saw a bright silver special helmet on the table.
He put on the helmet and turned on the power. He felt a faint tingling sensation from the electric current on his head. The world in front of him changed and he found himself standing in a private simulated space with a blue background.
"shopping mall!"
"Opening the mall for you!"
A wide variety of goods appeared before him, but they were not like pictures in his previous life, but virtual three-dimensional models.
For example, clothing products can be tried directly on, which greatly reduces the risk of "model photo fraud".
"Search, Qinhai City Martial Arts School!"
"Rui Li Martial Arts School!"
"Flame Dragon Martial Arts School!"
"Tai Chi Martial Arts School!"
"..."
There are a total of thirteen martial arts schools of varying sizes.
Qi Sui's brows gradually furrowed.
Poor in literature but rich in martial arts, the ancients were not deceiving me.
The cheapest entry-level disciple package at these martial arts schools requires a payment of 100,000 Xia coins, while the best Qinlong Martial Arts School charges a whopping 500,000 Xia coins.
“Those cheap martial arts schools all have bad reviews.”
"The coach is irresponsible, the equipment is rubbish, the techniques are outdated, etc."
"It's not worth spending this hundred thousand!"
"It would be great if I could go to the Qinlong Martial Arts School. I heard that there is a martial arts master there, and he is very famous in the Great Xia Country. It's a pity that the price is really unaffordable!"
Qi Sui gave a bitter smile and gave up the idea of joining the martial arts school.
Then, there is only one last way.
