Liu Fei has changed a lot in the past year.
After a year of training and specially made pills from Liu Feng, he not only grew taller, but his eyes also became sharp and bright, and his movements became more agile, making him almost unmatched in the school.
He has the demeanor of a campus big brother.
Lin Hao was thus well protected at school; no child dared to bully him easily, and he grew to admire his fifth brother even more.
He became Liu Fei's shadow.
Every day, Lin Hao would practice the Five Animal Frolics with Liu Fei to strengthen his body.
Seeing Liu Changqing and Liu Feng return, carrying large bags of groceries, Lin Hao and Liu Fei cheered and excitedly went to greet them.
Liu Feng smiled and handed the meat and vegetables to his mother and sister.
At this moment, He Qunfang and Liu Yue were busy in the kitchen, washing pots and boiling water, when they saw Liu Feng bring in so many things.
He Qunfang couldn't help but nag a few times: "You child, you bought so much stuff, the family can't possibly finish it all!"
Listening to his mother's nagging, Liu Feng smiled and remained silent.
He was already used to it.
After exchanging a few casual words, he turned to find Liu Fei and Lin Hao.
“Come on, let’s practice the Five Animal Frolics,” Liu Feng said.
He first had the two of them practice once each, then carefully pointed out the key points of their movements and taught them how to coordinate their breathing techniques to enhance the effect.
Lin Hao's health is recovering quickly, and his condition has greatly improved. He will be fully recovered in another six months.
Night falls.
An enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen as delicious dishes such as pork ribs, braised beef, tofu with scallions, and stir-fried eggs with chives were laid out on the table.
The whole family sat together, enjoying the sumptuous dinner, laughter and conversation echoing throughout the house.
Everyone's face was beaming with happiness.
…
Sunday afternoon, the weekend is coming to an end.
Liu Changqing drove Liu Feng, Liu Yue, and Liu Xiaoling, and they set off together. The atmosphere inside the car was relaxed and warm.
Upon arriving at Wenshu Street, Liu Yue and Liu Xiaoling got off the bus and waved goodbye.
Then, Liu Changqing continued driving Liu Feng to the spicy snack workshop.
A hint of contemplation flickered in Liu Feng's eyes as he silently watched the scenery rushing past the car window.
Upon arriving at the spicy snack workshop, Liu Feng said softly, "Dad, you can leave me here. I can go to school by myself."
Liu Changqing didn't ask any more questions, he just nodded and watched Liu Feng get off the car.
Liu Feng did not tell Liu Changqing and He Qunfang about the small courtyard he bought.
He likes to keep some secrets to himself.
Standing in front of the courtyard, Liu Feng smiled slightly, pushed open the door, and went inside.
The renovation of the courtyard is complete, and the interior looks brand new.
The white walls, wooden floors, and simple decorating style made Liu Feng very satisfied.
He looked around; all that was left was to buy furniture.
At night, Liu Feng sat quietly in the bedroom of the new house, meditating and cultivating.
Until dawn.
In the days that followed, he went to school while taking time out to go to the furniture market to choose suitable furniture.
Liu Feng prefers the texture of natural wood, so the furniture he chooses, such as beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs, bookshelves, and computer desks, retains the original wood grain and is only coated with a layer of clear varnish.
A few days later, the renovation and furnishing of the courtyard was finally completed.
During his time at school, Liu Feng remained low-key, achieving above-average grades and attracting little attention.
But after school, he would quickly immerse himself in his own world.
In my spare time, I go online.
Through the computer, Liu Feng maintained close contact with Liao Bisheng and Jin Xiaohu, who were far away in Hong Kong, and kept abreast of the latest stock market information.
Make sure everything goes as expected.
The recent depreciation of the Thai baht triggered a sharp decline in the Thai stock market, causing their options and short positions to generate rapid profits.
Then, the financial crisis spread to Indonesia.
The Indonesian rupiah has begun to depreciate, foreign capital is withdrawing, interbank interest rates are soaring, and the Indonesian real estate market bubble is bursting.
They quickly adopted the same strategy.
Liao Bisheng continued to short the Indonesian rupiah in the foreign exchange market while buying put options on the Indonesian stock market.
Jin Xiaohu focused his efforts on shorting Indonesian bank and real estate stocks.
They made a fortune once again.
With large sums of money flowing in and out, Uncle Zhang was so excited he couldn't sit still, and he would go to Hong Kong every two weeks.
He admired Liu Feng's stock trading decisions immensely.
Liu Feng's advice always brought substantial profits, which made Uncle Zhang full of expectations for buying up Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan real estate at rock-bottom prices in the future.
But Liu Feng was not blinded by these victories.
He sat calmly in front of the computer, typing rapidly on the keyboard, browsing the internet.
In 1997, the internet was still in its infancy.
There are very few fun and interesting things to see.
At that time, online social networking had not yet taken off; there were no QQ or WeChat, and BBS was just beginning to become popular.
People can discuss various topics and make like-minded friends on BBS.
There weren't many online games; only arcade games like "Beast King," "Street Fighter," and "Metal Slug" were the most popular.
But these things held no appeal for Liu Feng.
Currently, only "Rongshuxia" is a literary website that was established this year.
In this era when the internet is just beginning to emerge and information is about to explode.
With memories of the future and a love for reading, Liu Feng is determined to leave his mark on this untapped digital wilderness.
He plans to follow in the footsteps of "Under the Banyan Tree" and create a book-reading website.
Let's call it "Fanxing Chinese Website".
With his understanding of future technologies, Liu Feng gradually built his own website.
Computer software development skills learned in a previous life.
This came in handy. He reviewed the basics of HTML and CSS, and typed out lines of code with a rudimentary text editor, building the prototype of "Fanxing Chinese Website".
In the early stages of the website, he chose a non-virtual VPS hosting service, which was cheap despite the frequent problems of service instability and bandwidth limitations.
In terms of content design, Liu Feng deeply understands the importance of user experience.
He set up a simple and clear category navigation, including multiple sections such as male-oriented, female-oriented, fantasy, urban, prose, and poetry, and opened an author zone to encourage the creation of original content.
At the same time, he designed an easy-to-use submission system, allowing everyone with a literary dream to easily upload their work.
After the website went live, Liu Feng was the only user.
He invited Liao Bisheng and Jin Xiaohu to register and log in, and only three people appeared on the huge website, but "Fanxing Chinese Website" still seemed empty.
To attract more users, Liu Feng transformed into an internet "traveler," shuttling between various forums, chat rooms, and even early blog websites, leaving behind the footprints of "Fanxing Chinese Network."
In order to attract more users.
Liu Feng decided to write a novel—an adaptation of the popular fantasy novel "Zhu Xian" from his previous life—and publish it on Fanxing Chinese Network.
The hope is that this will ignite the creative passion of more literature enthusiasts.
