It was getting dark.
Inside the Diamond Training Room of Kyushu Martial Arts Hall.
Feeling greasy all over, Chen Qian went to the shower to cool off, while Xiao Xuan, wearing a short cheongsam, started cleaning up the scene.
"Are you really not staying overnight tonight?" After Shen Qian came out, Xiao Xuan, who had finished tidying up, asked with her big eyes.
"No, no, I have to go home tonight," Shen Qian refused repeatedly.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiaoxuan's eyes, but she still smiled and nodded, then took Chenqian's membership card and went out to settle the bill.
Shen Qian also sighed softly. Recently, perhaps due to the increase in physical strength leading to a surge in blood and qi, his heart was becoming increasingly restless.
Faced with Xiao Xuan's increasingly shorter cheongsam, Shen Qian truly exerted tremendous willpower to maintain his composure, a testament to the pinnacle of his willpower in this lifetime.
When one's vital energy is abundant, one's primordial energy is full.
"In order to have high-quality vital energy when breaking through to the initial stage of martial arts, it is not recommended for martial arts practitioners to indulge in sex too early."
This is the official answer that popped up after searching for related questions online.
...Well, judging from the search popularity, countless teenagers have had similar questions.
Shen Qian was not alone.
While Xiao Xuan went downstairs, Chen Qian went to the simple simulator in the training room.
After putting on his helmet, Chen Qian delivered another clean and decisive punch, blasting the "Wang Yangming" opposite him to pieces. After a few seconds, a line of data popped up.
Explosive power: 369 kg
Instantaneous speed: 6.6 s/100 meters
..."
The last test was a week ago, when the explosive power was 289. It doesn't seem like a big increase, but I spent more than half of this week recovering from an injury. It's only in the last two days that I've really resumed my training intensity.
Especially today, the first time I used the Qi and Blood Strike Method of the "Primordial Body Refining Chapter" to temper my body, it greatly improved my strength before sinking.
Chen estimated that today's training had increased his strength by at least 30kg.
Judging solely from physical strength, Chen Qian was already comparable to a beginner martial artist at the third stage.
At this rate, he might actually have a chance to become a formal martial artist before the college entrance examination.
We just need to figure out a way to solve the problem of food...
Looking at the dozen or so plates piled on the ground, Chen Qian felt a headache coming on.
It's not sustainable to always rely on quantity to win.
A short while later, Xiaoxuan returned, her eyes filled with surprise. She handed the deducted membership card back to Chen Qian and couldn't help but ask, "You...you recharged again?"
"No, what's wrong?" Shen Qian asked curiously.
"There's an extra million in the card..." Xiaoxuan's expression was complicated.
Shen Qian was taken aback at first, then understood.
A few days ago, Zhu Deyong called him. Although he didn't mention anything specific, the enthusiasm in his tone was overwhelming for Shen Qian.
It seems that the other party also learned about some things through certain channels.
Thinking of this, Shen Qian couldn't help but feel very heartbroken.
One million? Why would I need to top up a card?
Why don't you just give me the cash directly?
Five hundred thousand would be fine too.
"When you see your General Manager Zhu again, tell him to have a meal together sometime."
With a recharge of one million and a 30% discount, it's enough for Shenqian to spend at the Kyushu Martial Arts Hall forever.
Shen Qian felt that he should at least make some statement in terms of attitude, and also see if Zhu Deyong had any further demands.
"By the way, can I just deduct the money from my card as a tip?" Shen asked before leaving.
"This million isn't a bonus, it's a cash top-up, so... it's okay." Xiaoxuan blushed and said softly.
"Then each time I come, you can deduct a thousand as a tip." Shen Qian thought for a moment, "I'm not too sure about the going rate, is a thousand enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough." Xiaoxuan quickly waved her hand, "They usually only get a few hundred in tips."
"That's fine, I'm off."
With Xiao Xuan's help, Shen Qian got dressed, waved goodbye, and went out.
Xiao Xuan watched Shen Qian disappear through the door, then suddenly stood where Shen Qian had been lying. She adjusted her expression, smiled, and extended her hand, "Hello, my name is Jiang Xuan."
Unfortunately, he never asked her name.
Xiaoxuan smiled brightly, but her eyes were red.
...
It was past 8 p.m. when I got back to Xingfu Community. As usual, I glanced at the security room at the entrance and was puzzled to see that there was no light coming out.
Is Old Hu not here again?
This old man has been very mysterious lately, often disappearing. I haven't seen him for a long time since I ate hotpot with him that time.
Speaking of which, the property management company of Xingfu Community is not very responsible. How can someone like Old Hu, who slacks off all day, be a security guard?
...Of course, it seems that Xingfu Community does not have a property management company.
Shen Qian reached the door of the security room, only to find it unlocked; it opened easily with a gentle push.
"Uncle Hu?"
Shen Qian shouted a couple of times into the dark room, then turned on the light.
The security guard's room was indeed empty, and the furnishings were very simple. Apart from a few old appliances, there was nothing of value. In the corner, there was a lot of unsold fruit and vegetables.
Shen Qian walked up to the pile of fruits and vegetables and saw that most of them had already begun to rot. He shook his head and said, "Where has Lao Hu been gallivanting off to? They're almost completely spoiled."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Qian picked out a lot of edible apples, kiwis and the like, and put them in a bag.
He then pulled out his wallet, took out a stack of new bills he had just withdrawn, and counted out a thousand yuan.
Looking around, Shen Qian went to the small bed in the inner room, stuffed the money under Grandpa Hu's pillow, and was about to get up when he suddenly froze.
