The simulator was still continuing—
You and Sha Dan Yuan became good friends. Through Sha Dan Yuan's status as the second young master of Foshan Restaurant, you monetized some future knowledge and obtained quite a bit of silver.
That day, Ip Man invited you to Foshan Restaurant for tea, and you gladly went. When you arrived, you discovered that Ip Man's good friend Zhou Qingquan was there as well.
Ip Man introduced you to Zhou Qingquan. Only after some conversation did you learn that today's meal had been arranged by Zhou Qingquan.
It turned out that news had already spread through Foshan about how Sha Dan Yuan had made a great deal of money because of your advice and strategies. After Zhou Qingquan learned of this, and then found out that you had a good relationship with Ip Man, he arranged today's meal, intending to ask you for some suggestions and ideas about opening a factory.
You knew what kind of person Zhou Qingquan was. He was a very responsible national entrepreneur. And so, using your knowledge and insight that surpassed the times, you offered him many precious suggestions.
After Zhou Qingquan listened, he found them extremely useful, and even wanted to invite you to become a consultant, but you refused.
When Lin Bei saw this, he could not help muttering inwardly—
Could I actually have a talent for business?
After thinking about it, he shook his head again.
What business talent was that? It was nothing more than relying on knowledge and vision that surpassed the times, armchair theorizing.
If Lin Bei were really made to go into business, he would probably lose so much he would not even have underwear left to wear!
He looked at the small words refreshed by the simulator.
That day, you were preparing to visit Ip Man at his home when you suddenly ran into a group of burly men on the street. They stopped you and asked for the location of Martial Arts Street.
You heard their northeastern accent and knew that this group was Jin Shanzhao and the others from the movie. With the mindset of watching the fun, you pointed out the road for them, then quietly followed behind and watched the entire process of them challenging the schools.
After Jin Shanzhao and the others finished beating Master Liao and went to eat noodles, you then leisurely headed to Ip Man's villa and told him about Jin Shanzhao and the others, predicting that this group would soon come to find Ip Man for a fight.
Sure enough, Jin Shanzhao and his group soon found Ip Man's villa. Just as in the movie, Ip Man defeated Jin Shanzhao.
Jin Shanzhao left Foshan.
Not long after, Zhou Qingquan's factory also opened.
You often went to chat with Ip Man. Through these conversations, you advised Ip Man's wife, telling her to transfer the family assets to Hong Kong in advance.
Because your analysis of the domestic and international situation was clear and logical, Mrs. Zhang believed your advice and began transferring the assets ahead of time to the relatively safe Hong Kong.
At twenty-four, before you knew it, you had already been in Ip Man's world for a year. During this year, you and Ip Man built a deep friendship. Although Ip Man did not accept you as a disciple, he had already begun guiding you in martial arts.
At the same time, because of your advice, Mrs. Zhang also transferred eighty percent of the family's assets to Hong Kong in advance.
At twenty-five, war broke out. You persuaded Ip Man's family to move to Hong Kong, but Ip Man felt that the war would not reach Foshan and rejected your suggestion.
With no other choice, you tried to persuade Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang listened to your analysis of the war, and using Ye Zhun's safety and education as the reason, she persuaded Ip Man to move to Hong Kong.
You changed the fate of Ip Man's family and obtained one Good Person Card.
Another Good Person Card appeared out of thin air. Lin Bei put it into the simulator space and continued looking at the refreshed small words—
You followed Ip Man's family to Hong Kong. Because the family assets had been transferred in advance, Ip Man's family still maintained a very good life in Hong Kong.
At twenty-six, Foshan was occupied. Upon hearing this news, Ip Man did not sleep or eat for an entire day and night. Ip Man, who had lost his hometown, seemed as if he had lost his soul.
In order to help Ip Man pull himself together, you persuaded Mrs. Zhang to let Ip Man open a martial arts school and accept disciples.
Ip Man's martial arts school opened.
You became Ip Man's disciple and studied Wing Chun under him.
One day, you went out to buy vegetables and ran into gangsters bullying a woman. Seeing injustice on the road, you gave a righteous shout, but the other side had guns.
Because you had practiced martial arts, your courage had become very great.
You charged forward, wanting to use the Wing Chun you had learned to deal with the gangsters.
In the end, within seven steps, the gun was both fast and accurate, and you were shot dead by the gangsters.
This simulation has ended. You may choose one of the following rewards.
One: Silver Tongue. Your words will become extremely persuasive.
Two: Ip Man's martial arts principles and insights.
Three: Accomplished Wing Chun.
Lin Bei: "..."
So within seven steps, a gun really was both fast and accurate!
Damn it!
Lin Bei had no choice but to criticize himself in the simulated life.
Don't think that just because you learned a little kung fu, you're invincible under heaven.
Ip Man was only a low-martial world.
In a world like this, even if you've learned kung fu, run when you see a pistol!
Otherwise, it's bang bang, two shots, and you go straight to meet the King of Hell!
"Choose two."
As Lin Bei complained, he selected the reward.
Of the three rewards, the first was somewhat useful, but not very. He had no intention of turning into Naruto and, whenever he hit a problem, opening with Talk-no-Jutsu.
The third option was the most useless one—at least, it was of little use to Lin Bei in Douluo.
On Douluo Continent, everyone relied on their martial souls.
The moment a fight broke out, it was all kinds of skills and Soul Power clashing in waves. Who was going to use their bare hands to achieve their dreams?
Ip Man's martial arts philosophy and insights, however, were extremely valuable.
Wing Chun could not beat a soul master to death in Douluo.
But Ip Man's martial arts philosophy and insights, combined with Lin Bei's martial soul, could absolutely beat many people to death.
The instant he chose the hidden reward, Lin Bei felt a great deal of Ip Man's martial arts philosophy and insight appear in his mind.
These martial arts philosophies and insights gave Lin Bei a clearer understanding of combat, and of how to defeat enemies better and faster.
Three days later, Lin Bei and the others arrived at the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire—Heaven Dou City.
According to Omora, they would rest here for three days.
After three days, they would depart directly from Heaven Dou City and head for Spirit City.
Lin Bei naturally had no objections to this itinerary, nor did he dare to have any.
The ornate carriage traveled along the bustling streets of the capital. Lin Bei looked curiously through the curtain at the lively world outside—
Heaven Dou City's first impression on Lin Bei was that there were a lot of people.
Far too many people!
At a glance, the flow of people on the street looked like ants moving house.
The broad street was packed with pedestrians and vendors selling all kinds of goods. Cries of hawking rose and fell, much like the market-day scenes in small towns from his previous life.
"If you want to get out, you can."
Omora, who had barely spoken the entire way, suddenly spoke up.
Lin Bei looked at him in surprise and found that the stern middle-aged man was even holding out a money pouch.
Lin Bei blinked and said hesitantly, "Lord Omora, this is..."
Omora glanced at Lin Bei calmly, gave no explanation, and simply tossed the money pouch over.
Lin Bei caught it in a daze.
"Go on. Buy whatever you want."
Omora said this flatly, then closed his eyes again, seemingly entering a state of cultivation.
So...
This level seventy-eight Soul Sage was actually a tsundere who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside?
Lin Bei muttered inwardly and jumped down from the carriage.
The soldiers who had been following behind the carriage did not stop him. They merely moved their relaxed hands in unison to the weapons at their waists, while their gazes also swept the surroundings more sharply.
Some pedestrians feared those soldiers, but at the same time, they cast curious looks at Lin Bei.
This boy had gotten down from that Spirit Hall carriage. Who was he?
