Chapter 5 Physical Improvement
The next day.
The morning light shines through the curtains into the room, and the crisp bird song outside the window wakes the city from its slumber.
Qi Sui sits up with messy hair, and the quilt slips off, revealing a slightly thin white chest.
"After a night of deep sleep, my mental strength has been replenished!"
"Ah——"
"It's so comfortable!"
Qi Sui stretched his body happily, his muscles and bones crackling, he rushed into the toilet in slippers, the cold water splashed on his face, and the whole person woke up instantly.
"Panel!"
[Name: Qi Sui]
[Life span: 18/96]
[Profession: Scholar lv1 (76/10000)]
[Strength: 9]
[Agility: 8]
[Constitution: 7]
[Spirit: 14]
[Life force: 68/70]
[Spirit: 140/140]
[Basic occupation skills: Reading comprehension lv9 (7637/10000)]
[Advanced occupation skills: Concentration lv1 (182/10000)]
[Advanced occupation skills: Detection lv1 (57/10000)]
[Skill points: 1]
[Attribute points: 1]
"Add attribute points to constitution!" Qi Sui made a decision.
Attribute points are very precious resources, and you will only gain a little each time you upgrade your profession.
Since I have decided to take the martial arts route, I have to prioritize strength or physique.
[Physique: 7+1]
[Life force: 68+10/70+10]
[Life span: 18/96+1]
When the numbers changed, Qi Sui felt as if a warm current had appeared in his body, flowing to his limbs and bones, nourishing his flesh, blood, tendons and bones.
He clenched his fists, his bones crackled, and his strength increased significantly.
His stomach was rumbling, he was so hungry that he felt like he could swallow a cow.
Looking closely, the lean and handsome boy in the mirror seemed to have grown a little taller, with more muscles on his body, not as scary as before when he was just skin and bones.
"Physique 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 dimensions of adult males on Canglan Star should be 10 points, not much difference!"
He is very satisfied with his progress.
You know, when he just had a professional panel three years ago, his four dimensions were around 5 points, and he looked like a cripple.
The kind that almost died after climbing five floors.
...
After a simple wash, Qi Sui changed into a clean casual outfit.
It was just past six o'clock, and he knocked on the door gently without waking up his parents who were still sleeping.
The cool breeze blew on his face and blew on the boy's fine hair.
Follow the road and turn left to leave the community, and the breakfast shop here has already started business.
The couple are also residents of the coal mine community. Since the mine was not profitable, they decided to quit their jobs and start a business. The breakfast shop has been open for nearly ten years. Although life is hard, the money is really earned.
Their child is a martial arts student and was admitted to a well-ranked university three years ago.
At that time, they also distributed wedding candies to residents in the community.
So sweet!
"Uncle Lin, two servings of salty tofu brain, five pork buns, five mutton buns, and three servings of egg and soy milk."
"Xiao Qi, why do you eat so much today?"
The middle-aged man at the stall pulled the fried dough sticks and put them into the oil pan, looking back in surprise.
"I'm a little hungry today!"
Qi Sui rubbed his flat stomach.
The strongest feeling brought by physical growth is hunger.
"Okay, Xiao Qi, find a seat and I'll bring it to you right away."
Although it's just past six o'clock, there are really 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, and the taste and quality are still guaranteed.
Qi Sui found an old man to share the table.
A few minutes later, ten steaming buns were served.
He didn't care about the heat, picked up one and took a bite.
The skin was thin and the filling was full, and the soup was juicy.
The slightly smelly mutton blossomed on the taste buds, giving a strong sense of satisfaction.
It was so authentic!
It only took three or five bites to finish a bun.
Then he grabbed another one and swallowed it along with the tofu pudding that had just been served.
The hunger in his stomach was slightly relieved.
"Delicious!"
Qi Sui didn't care about his eating manners, he buried his head and devoured it all in a whirlwind, which made the old man sitting opposite him stunned, and he even forgot to put the egg soup scooped up with a spoon into his mouth.
"Huh!"
After the last egg went into his stomach, Qi Sui touched his bulging belly and stood up, letting out a long sigh of satisfaction.
The feeling of being full was really good.
"Uncle Lin, count the money."
"Forty-two, round off the zero, just give me forty!"
"Okay!"
Qi Sui took out his mobile phone and scanned the code to transfer money, which meant that his card had an extra 300,000 yuan from his mother, 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 practicing in the martial arts university.
"Well, I have this plan, just to try it. Even if I can't practice it, it's always good to be able to strengthen my body." Qi Sui smiled and replied.
"Okay, Xiao Qi, practice well and make your bamboo pole body stronger. When you go to college in another place in the future, at least no one dares to bully you!" Uncle Lin said with a smile.
In his understanding, the martial arts that the boy said should only be fitness.
After all, he is already 18 years old this year.
It's too late to start martial arts.
...
After leaving the breakfast stall, Qi Sui trotted all the way to the city center, just as if he was digesting 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 substitute.
At present, the price is generally expensive. The worst model costs 100,000 Xia coins, which is unaffordable for working-class families like Qi Sui.
"Boss, drive for an hour, the cheapest one will do."
"50r."
After the transfer.
Qi Sui got a string of verification codes, and he walked deep into the store. The seats in the aisle were crooked, and many people who stayed up all night were sleeping.
"No. A78!"
Found the location, and there was a bright silver special helmet on the table.
He put on the helmet and turned on the power. A weak electric current tingling sensation came from his head. The style of the world in front of him changed, and he stood in a private simulated space with a blue background.
"Mall!"
"The mall is opening for you!"
A wide range of goods appeared in front of him. They were not like pictures in the previous life, but a kind of virtual three-dimensional model.
For example, clothing products can be tried directly, greatly reducing the risk of "model photo fraud".
"Search, Qinhai City Martial Arts School!"
"Ruili Martial Arts School!"
"Yanlong Martial Arts School!"
"Taiji Martial Arts School!"
"..."
There are thirteen martial arts schools of all sizes.
Qi Sui's brows gradually frowned.
Poor in literature, rich in martial arts, the ancients are not deceiving me.
The cheapest entry-level disciple package of these martial arts schools requires a payment of 100,000 Xia coins, and the best Qinlong Martial Arts School even offers a sky-high price of 500,000 Xia coins.
"Those cheap martial arts schools have bad reviews."
"The coaches are irresponsible, the equipment is rubbish, the skills are backward, etc."
"It's not worth spending this 100,000!"
"It would be great if I could go to Qinlong Martial Arts School. I heard that there is a martial arts master sitting in the hall, and he has a high reputation in the Great Xia Kingdom. It's a pity that the price is really unaffordable!"
Qi Sui smiled bitterly, and gave up the idea of joining a martial arts school.
Then, there is only one way.
...
