The morning mist had not yet dissipated.
Li Yao, dressed in sportswear, ran through the mist at a steady pace. Once he reached a deserted area, Li Yao finally took a deep breath and began to practice a set of fist techniques.
Life had been peaceful these past few days. Since Aunt Lin recovered, the Lin family's days had become increasingly sweet.
Li Yao's family was as it always was.
Everything seemed so beautiful.
Lin Xiaoxi was still obsessed with courting death, but this time her luck wasn't so good. She didn't stumble upon anything significant. However, after this incident, she started a club at school dedicated to researching paranormal phenomena, and she actually managed to attract quite a few people.
Now she calls herself Chairman Lin all day long, showing off incessantly.
Lin Xiaowei still occasionally came online to exchange information about recent events and share data.
Actually, it was mainly Lin Xiaoxi providing Li Yao with knowledge.
This made Li Yao feel quite embarrassed.
He even asked, "Is there anything I can help you with now? Do you need any knowledge from Earth? Like steam engines? Or weapon blueprints or something?" He had money and could buy them.
However, Lin Xiaowei dismissed this with disdain.
"We've already developed to the point of planetary colonization and fighting interdimensional wars over here. Knowledge from Earth… Oh, if you could get your hands on nuclear reaction equations or research results from the quantum realm, that might help me."
Those were Lin Xiaowei's exact words.
To this, Li Yao could only chuckle.
Thank goodness Earth's coordinates haven't been exposed… otherwise, Earth would be crushed into dust in minutes—Earth Mama: What did I do wrong to always be the target!
As for the fist techniques he was practicing now, they were also passed on to Li Yao by Lin Xiaoxi.
It was a set of Buddhist monk's Qi Refining Technique.
In that world, there weren't only Mages as a job, there were other jobs as well, it's just that Mages had a more thorough understanding of all things, and were therefore more powerful, occupying a hegemonic position in that world.
The Azure Dragon Mountain incident made Li Yao realize that having only spiritual cultivation wasn't enough.
He also needed a strong physique.
So Lin Xiaowei found this Qi Refining Technique for him to practice. Lin Xiaowei herself didn't have any cultivation. Mages indeed lacked close combat abilities at lower levels, so most low-level Mages would hire servants to protect themselves. Later on, that wouldn't be necessary… enemies wouldn't have the chance to get close to a Mage. Even if they did, Polymorph and various protective spells would be enough to slap you in the face and show you what motherfucking love is like.
After finishing the set of fist techniques, Li Yao sat cross-legged and used the power of Meditation to organize the so-called "Qi" generated after practicing the techniques.
This was completely different from the so-called Qigong on Earth.
Well,
Li Yao wasn't really sure whether Qigong on Earth was real or fake. Anyway, the various Qigong masters circulating online had almost become joke material, making it really hard to believe. But what he saw on Azure Dragon Mountain that day made him waver a bit.
In any case, the Qi cultivated by Buddhist monks did have the effect of enhancing physical fitness.
Now Li Yao's schedule was very tight: morning exercises early in the morning, studying magical knowledge during the day, practicing spell construction in the evening, and starting Meditation cultivation in the early hours of the morning.
Life could be said to be very fulfilling! After sorting out the "Qi," Li Yao prepared to go to school for class. On the way back, he received a message from Li Shishi: "Are you free this afternoon?"
Li Yao thought for a moment, he didn't have class in the afternoon, so he replied, "I'm free, what's up?"
Li Shishi: "Let's meet and talk."
Li Yao: "Okay."
Li Shishi in work mode was decisive and capable beyond belief.
In the afternoon, Li Yao waited for Li Shishi at the school gate. Many female students passing by secretly glanced at Li Yao, some even deliberately walked back and forth two or three times. Li Yao's face darkened… I recognized you, okay! While waiting, a flashy red Porsche stopped across the road. Li Shishi got out of the car and waved at Li Yao.
The school gate instantly exploded! Wasn't that Senior Li Shishi!
Was she waving at that senior?
Wait a minute! Isn't that the senior who said he wanted to find Senior Li Shishi during the last speech? Did they hook up?! There's gossip!
Eat! The flames of gossip burned fiercely in the eyes of many students.
Accompanying this were various negative emotions… Boys were jealous of Li Yao, girls… well, Li Shishi was bright and moving, there was no comparison at all. Li Yao felt the fiery gazes and emotional changes around him, and thought to himself why he didn't have a negative emotion system! Otherwise, taking Li Shishi for a walk around the school would light up a layer of nebula! What a pity!
But he also miscalculated, he shouldn't have tried to save trouble by waiting for Li Shishi at the school gate, he should have gone further away! Li Yao braved the gazes of the crowd and got into Li Shishi's car. Li Shishi chuckled and said, "How does it feel, do you feel like a celebrity?"
Li Yao: "Then aren't you living like a celebrity every day?"
Li Shishi said smugly, "Senior is already used to it."
Li Yao was speechless.
So he said, "Drive!"
Li Shishi smiled sweetly, "Okay."
On the way, Li Yao's phone vibrated, and the dormitory group had exploded.
Cao Rui screamed like crazy, "Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"
"When did you hook up with Senior Shishi!"
"Was the bank card last time given by Senior?"
"I didn't expect you to be this kind of Li Yao!"
"Damn, I also want to be kept, boo hoo..."
Li Yao's face darkened instantly, and he kicked Cao Rui out of the group chat! Yes.
After Li Yao was kicked out last time, he created a new group himself.
Then Cao Rui created another group and denounced Li Yao in it: "Even if I'm nailed in a coffin, I will use my decaying voice to shout out those two words:"
"Beast!"
Then Li Yao saw a group message notification:
Chen Tao has left the group chat.
Zhao Shuisheng has left the group chat.
Li Yao sent a message: "Idiot."
Li Yao has left the group chat.
Having such an idiot roommate is so tiring… more tiring than raising a husky.
Recently, the trending videos on Douyin aren't about idiot huskies driving their owners crazy, but about idiot owners scaring huskies silly… Where can you even reason with that? Li Shishi glanced at the phone and smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Your roommates are quite fun."
Li Yao looked up, "Want me to introduce you?"
Li Shishi flatly refused, "No way!"
Li Yao laughed and pressed the voice button on his phone, "See that, Old Cao? Senior doesn't want to meet you!"
Li Shishi's face darkened: "..."
You guys are really having fun!
Arriving at a coffee shop in the city, Li Shishi took out a report and handed it to Li Yao, "This is the cultivation base I've selected. Construction is about to begin. Also, the Original Liquid you gave me was tested in the lab, and it actually works when added to facial masks, lotions, and serums. This makes it easier to form a systematic brand line."
Li Yao said in surprise, "It feels weird putting oral liquid on your face..."
She suddenly stopped, not saying anything more.
Of course, there was no need to spell it out; Li Yao understood.
