Chapter 26 Old Friends and New Friend
Duan Yu settled into the newly built private room, which was a little distance away from Hua Manlou and Lu Yusheng's rooms, so that they wouldn't disturb each other.
It was early morning again. Watching the two busy discussing music theory, Lu Yusheng wisely refrained from interrupting and found a quiet corner to himself.
"System, let me check the skills."
As soon as the words fell into her mind, she saw that with the second-level upgrade of the sub-system, she had gained another knee kick skill.
Lu Yusheng is currently at level 3 in "Daytime Immortal". His three existing skills, elbow strike, knee kick and slam, are all attack-enhancing skills.
Although they are all scraps and don't have any magical attacks, all put together, she can be considered a third-rate martial arts practitioner with some rudimentary skills.
Lu Yusheng struggled for a long time with the attribute points she was given. Although she envied Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng flying around, she felt it was a bit inappropriate to allocate all the points to agility.
The idea of maxing out defense because you're afraid of pain, or maxing out strength because you're afraid of not taking damage, is not advisable after much thought. In the end, I just evenly distributed my points among the available agility, strength, defense, and intelligence.
To be honest, after adding the points, I definitely felt lighter and it took less effort to lift things.
Unfortunately, their current attack power cannot be accurately assessed. Duan Yu doesn't know martial arts, and Hua Manlou's martial arts are said to be quite good, but if Lu Yusheng were to actually fight him, I feel that the conclusion he would draw would not be accurate.
Lu Yusheng rested her cheek on her hand on the table, about to gaze out into the distance for a while, when she turned around and saw Duan Yu looking at her, she knew it was time again.
Duan Yu has played more than ten games against the mobile phone, losing more than he has won. However, he is persistent and continues to fight despite repeated defeats, his enthusiasm undiminished.
Lu Yusheng was worried that looking at the screen for too long would hurt his eyes, so he made a simple chessboard out of paper and wood.
I originally wanted to practice Go with him, but my Go skills are not good enough, so he took the initiative to suggest a simpler game of Gomoku.
She's really good at this. She used to play it a lot when she was in school. Some large games even incorporate it into their mini-games. Over the years, Lu Yusheng has accumulated a wealth of experience in Gomoku.
She could easily execute trap formations like the pocket formation and the underwear formation. While the two weren't evenly matched, she certainly won decisively.
Duan Yu was also good-tempered. He didn't get angry when he repeatedly failed in Go and Gomoku. He just calmly praised him, saying that he didn't expect to meet two masters of Go at the same time.
At this moment, he was carefully laying out the chessboard on the table, while Lu Yusheng took out two neatly folded wooden pieces from the box.
After everything was arranged, the two sat down properly at the table, one in front of the other.
As soon as Lu Yu rose to power, he started using the old tricks to set up his formation, but unfortunately, Duan Yu's learning ability was too strong, and this trick was gradually becoming less effective.
Fortunately, she has a rich knowledge base in this area, and she can apply all kinds of formations she has learned online.
The two exchanged moves rapidly, each striking the other.
The wooden piece landed on the paper chessboard, almost touching the table underneath, with a crisp sound.
The sound of pieces being placed back and forth was like the constant patter of rain, which made Hua Manlou, who was watching from the sidelines, unable to help but laugh.
"If someone were to actually win this game..." His words made Lu Yusheng and the other player, who were in the middle of the game, perk up their ears.
Then I heard his next sentence: "It must be that the other side placed their piece too quickly and in the wrong position."
Duan Yu couldn't help but laugh as well. Lu Yusheng was a little embarrassed: "Why did you say that? My hands are getting sore, I was afraid I'd be slower than him."
As the three were chatting and laughing, Hua Manlou's keen ears picked up a whooshing sound.
He quietly became alert, and was about to speak to warn them when he heard two light thuds coming from the doorway.
But after hearing it clearly, the wariness on Hua Manlou's face suddenly turned into a faint smile.
The person who would use the main entrance couldn't be a bad person, and besides, he already recognized the owner from the footsteps.
He didn't say anything to warn them, not wanting to spoil the joy of their reunion, but unexpectedly, someone shot in like lightning the next second.
"Miss Lu, we're back!" Sikong Zhaixing greeted warmly as she stepped into the house, then looked around for a charging station.
At first, he was on edge following Lu Xiaofeng and didn't really touch his phone much. But who knew that the phone would lose battery even if he didn't use it? It was really inconvenient.
Unfortunately, this troublesome matter involved his former employer, so he couldn't show his face or leave his friends behind. He could only hide in the vicinity.
With nothing to kill time, I ended up playing rhythm games, which drained the battery and I had to shut it down the day before I was supposed to come back.
Fortunately, as the only mobile phone buyer so far, Lu Yusheng had explained the process to him in advance.
The cell phone uses a kind of energy called electricity. Once it's completely used up, it will stop working. It can only be used again after it's recharged at her place, which is why he didn't throw it away like a brick.
Now that he's finally back here, the first thing he does is recharge, something he's been thinking about all along the way.
Lu Yusheng stared blankly at the person who suddenly appeared, then smoothly slipped behind the bar and used the charger she had placed under the counter.
If she hadn't recognized the man immediately, she probably would have called for him to be thrown out.
She was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, Sikong Zhaixing? You're back?"
After saying that, she looked back in the direction he had come from: "Where are the others? Are you the only one?"
As they were talking, a familiar figure slowly stepped through the door: "I was a little late, but if you say I was slower than Sikong Zhaixing, I would never agree."
Lu Yusheng's eyes lit up again. She could hardly leave the shop now, like a left-behind child. Seeing her old friends come back made her incredibly happy.
Besides... since they've all returned safely, it means the matter over there has been resolved, right?
However, before she could react, someone else was even happier than her.
"Lu Xiaofeng, I knew it was you who came back." Hua Manlou got up and walked over with a smile on his face.
In the time it takes to say a word, the person who came in had already entered; it was none other than Lu Xiaofeng.
"I was waiting for someone on the way, so I walked a little slower, otherwise I would have arrived much earlier." After saying that, he tapped Hua Manlou's shoulder with his wine pot as a greeting.
The latter accepted his gift and shook his head helplessly: "You really think I'm as addicted to alcohol as you are?"
"Lu Xiaofeng!" Duan Yu, who had been quietly watching them reminisce, exclaimed in surprise.
The name Sikong Zhaixing already sounded familiar to him, and now that he saw Lu Xiaofeng in this attire, he was even more certain that he had met the legendary hero who was renowned throughout the martial arts world.
So he stood up with some delight and exclaimed, "I have long heard of your great reputation, young master. Now that I have met you, you are indeed dashing and handsome."
