The next day, Ye was the boss who had been armed all day, while Xiao Qing was a little shy.
She herself didn't know how she had so carelessly given her virginity to Ye Wu. Moreover, she was even frightened by her own enthusiasm when it came to that aspect of their relationship.
Because she had a somewhat strong personality since childhood and didn't like dressing up, she gave up on boys quickly, even though they had pursued her.
Since entering the workforce, Xiao Qing hasn't experienced being flirted with by a man in a long time. Most of the employees at the TV station are women, and the few men she has aren't exactly well-regarded.
But girls of this age, who have only recently entered the workforce, all want to find a man they can rely on.
She didn't think Ye Wu was a bad person, and he even ran an inn. Someone who could set such strange rules must be very unique. When she gave herself to Ye Wu, she wondered if she would regret it.
However, she was calmer than expected. Even if she was wrong, she would treat it as a valuable experience. She didn't feel she had lost out by giving her first time to such a handsome man.
"Brother Wang, are there enough rooms? I'd like Xiao Qing to stay another night," Ye Wu said to Wang Bing.
Wang Bing nodded. He had returned to the island in the middle of the lake early yesterday morning and was unaware of what had happened later, but Jiang Yining had told him about it this morning.
"Xiao Qing, come here and scan this code to install some software." Ye Wu handed Xiao Qing the QR code that Chen Yang had sent him.
"What software?" Xiao Qing asked curiously.
Ye Wu didn't say anything more. After scanning, Xiao Qing found that the software had installed automatically, and there was only a grayed-out option to enter the micro-world, so it was temporarily uncontrollable.
"I'll tell you tonight," Ye Wu said to Xiao Qing.
The rest will be explained after entering the micro-world tonight; Chen Yang has another matter to deal with today.
True to his word, Grandpa Yun actually called over a man nearing thirty, supposedly a disciple of an old friend who practiced Bajiquan, his junior brother in the same lineage. He made it clear that the purpose was to spar, and the man would leave after the exchange.
"Hello," he said, bowing with his hands clasped in greeting to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang felt a little strange seeing a man in a suit bowing with his hands clasped, but he was still polite and returned the gesture.
"My master asked me to take on this challenge. Are you available now?" the other party asked.
Chen Yang nodded, and then the junior disciple of the Bajiquan school took off his suit and shirt, revealing his vest underneath. His leather shoes were thrown aside, and he posed barefoot for Chen Yang.
Chen Yang hadn't expected the other party to be so decisive and serious.
Little did he know the immense pressure this junior disciple of Bajiquan had endured.
Grandpa Yun never said anything in front of Chen Yang, for fear that Chen Yang would become arrogant, but he would boast to the heavens in front of his other old friends.
Praise them as if they were saying things like "one month's work equals ten years' worth of practice," "a martial arts prodigy who appears only once in a century," or "a genius of Xingyi Quan."
What can old people compare? They can only compare their descendants and apprentices. His old friends were very unconvinced and wanted to see the genius that Grandpa Yun had mentioned.
"Don't come back if you lose. It's shameful to be outdone by a kid who just started practicing boxing!"
These were the words spoken to this junior disciple of Bajiquan by his master, which is why he takes them so seriously.
The others from the Micro Realm Inn also came out. They already knew about Grandpa Yun's arrangements, so they also knew that the junior brother in front of them, who was nearly thirty years old, had been practicing boxing since he was a child and was also known as a genius.
Although the old man kept praising Chen Yang, none of them thought Chen Yang could win, so they were all just there to watch the show. Jiang Yining even took a bag of sunflower seeds and started munching on them. When she noticed that everyone was looking at her, she blushed a little.
"Do you want it?" she asked.
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
Chen Yang didn't notice this scene, otherwise he would probably be furious.
He struck the same pose and said, "Please give me your guidance."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his junior disciple of Bajiquan lunged forward and threw a punch with astonishing force.
Chen Yang was startled. Bajiquan is a short-range fighting style, characterized by its swift movements and explosive power. It is similar to some moves in Xingyiquan, but fundamentally different.
Chen Yang dodged like a monkey, and at the same time lunged forward, exchanging a punch with his opponent.
He felt like he had hit a steel plate, and the junior disciple of Bajiquan was also extremely surprised. Could such power generation techniques and body control really be achieved in just one month?
The two exchanged blows, creating quite a spectacle, but it was clear that Chen Yang was at a disadvantage, mostly on the defensive, and looked rather disheveled.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details. If Grandpa Yun were here, he would have seen that Chen Yang was constantly changing his style during the battle, slowly salvaging the situation.
Unfortunately, Grandpa Yun said he wouldn't be coming today, leaving Chen Yang to perform on his own, so the audience were all laymen.
Since we're laymen, let's just watch the show.
Bajiquan is characterized by its hard-hitting, direct style, explosive power, and highly distinctive combat techniques. Xingyiquan, on the other hand, has a more diverse style, capable of both offense and defense. The two were fighting intensely, much to the delight of the onlookers.
Chen Yang quickly conceded defeat. After all, his opponent had studied for over twenty years and was exceptionally talented. Chen Yang was no match for him at this stage.
But this junior disciple of Bajiquan didn't feel anything when he won. He didn't believe that Chen Yang had only been learning for a month, but Chen Yang's crazy progress during the sparring made him have to believe it.
This was a huge blow to him. He knew all the martial artists of his age, and there wasn't much difference between them, whether in terms of skill or talent.
His master was not one of those "grandmasters" in martial arts schools who only had a name, but a real martial arts expert. Even many high-ranking military officials would come to visit and learn from him. He was always proud of this and felt that he would definitely reach that level in the future.
But now, the person in front of me clearly doesn't have a good foundation in martial arts, but he has god-like talent.
He knew he would soon be surpassed, which left him feeling helpless. He left dejectedly.
"Brother Yang, you won, right? But why is he so dejected?" Jiang Yining asked curiously.
Chen Yang shrugged and said, "I don't know either. He definitely won. He's much stronger than me."
"Chen Yang, you have to live up to expectations, don't embarrass our Microworld Inn."
Chen Yang gave Ye Wu a disdainful look; this guy was really into pretending to be the boss.
“Let’s explore the west side when the weather gets a little warmer. We’re getting rusty staying in the camp every day,” Chen Yang said.
"Agreed!" Li Su'er raised her hand. She was the most bored one. She felt that she had lost her meaning in the Micro World if she didn't go out hunting.
The construction of the new house is estimated to take about another month, by which time the weather should be warming up. Before that, Chen Yang wants to go to Yebolin again.
Night Forest is vast, and the area they traversed was only a small part. Even after several snowfalls, Night Forest remained lush and green. Chen Yang wanted to search for metal mines, as the Micro Realm urgently needed metals.
Guo Zifeng had burned a considerable amount of charcoal for reserves, and the more he burned, the better it became; some of the low-quality charcoal had already been used. He smelted the iron ore discovered by Jiang Bo into channel iron, but the quality was so low that it couldn't be further refined.
After winter set in, the micro-world has been quiet for a long time with no new activities, so it's time for them to make a move.
