Luo Yuan looked at Zhao Yali, who had fallen asleep from crying. He gently carried her into her bedroom and put her on the bed.
Just as Luo Yuan was about to withdraw his hand, Zhao Yali seemed to have felt something. She suddenly hugged him tightly and said in her sleep, "Weiqiang, don't go!"
Luo Yuan had no choice but to stop and stay in the same position.
Gradually, he felt something strange in his heart. His eyes unconsciously slid down to her legs.
Zhao Yali was wearing a dress today. She had worn a pair of pantyhose because it was too hot when she got home. Her snow-white, plump thighs were completely exposed. Luo Yuan's hand was on her thighs.
Her skin was very delicate and soft. His hand felt like soft cotton. Although Luo Yuan was not the kind of person to take advantage of others, he was a young man and could not bear to be stimulated. Coupled with the stimulation he had experienced in the afternoon, he could not help but feel thirsty when he saw such a tempting scene.
Luo Yuan cursed in his heart and turned his head away, but the scene kept lingering in his mind.
Ten minutes later, when Zhao Yali's breathing had stabilized and she had fallen asleep, he gently withdrew his hand and ran away.
After taking a shower, Luo Yuan turned on his computer and logged into Taobao.
He searched for knives, and soon, a lot of shops appeared on the screen.
Ever since he returned the machete to the police station, he felt a sense of loss, as if he had lost something. Moreover, with his current situation, it was very necessary to keep a machete at home. He could also practice his machete skills.
Knives, especially long knives, were regulated in the country.
However, there were loopholes in any system. Knives and swords could be traded freely, but swords could not. The only difference between them was whether or not they were sharpened.
Luo Yuan opened one of the shops. The prices of the swords and knives were extremely high. Even the cheapest one cost more than a thousand, while the most expensive one cost more than ten or twenty thousand. Luo Yuan clicked on a few other shops and found that they were all the same. He chose the most popular shop and found that he could customize a knife there.
Luo Yuan thought that if he were to encounter a giant snake alone, an ordinary weapon like the machete would not be able to deal with it. He might not even be able to break its defense. If he were to buy a weapon, he would have to buy a sharp one. After all, no one could guarantee that he would not encounter similar dangers in the future.
He opened the Taobao dialog box and typed, "Do you provide customization here?"
Not long after, the other party responded. He didn't bother with pleasantries and directly asked, "What materials are they made of? What specifications?"
"About 1.45m long, suitable for chopping. What materials do you recommend?" Luo Yuan was 1.74 meters tall. With the soles of his shoes, he would be 1.76 meters, which was the most suitable length for him.
"Most people use tool steel, sharp steel, 4GR139, GR13. This is enough to meet most of the requirements. Of course, there are also some imported special steel, but the price is more expensive. "
"You know what I'm going to do?" Luo Yuan asked curiously.
"What kind of secret is this? Nowadays, there are more and more people buying knives to protect themselves. I have to receive hundreds of customers every day! "
"Do you have any recommendations?" Luo Yuan typed after thinking for a while.
"It's a wise choice. I recommend 154 cm steel. It's resistant to corrosion. The blade's abrasion resistance and toughness are very high. Many famous swords use this kind of steel. After heat treatment, the hardness can reach around HRC60. It can definitely cut through iron like mud. Because the materials are scarce now, I can only get a few of them, so the price is higher. "
"What's the approximate price?" Luo Yuan asked.
"In terms of weight, it's 10,000 yuan per kilogram. Of course, the price might be a little exaggerated, but the price is increasing every day. You might not be able to buy it even if you have the money. "
"Send me some pictures of the samples." Luo Yuan did not think that the man was trying to cheat him. From what he had seen and heard in Gaotang Town, there had to be a lot of people buying cold weapons.
The man was very efficient. Soon, he had sent more than 10 pictures. Luo Yuan looked through them one by one. He liked one that looked like a Zhanmadao. It could be used with one or two hands.
"This one. It weighs 4kg. When can you send it to me?" Although four kilograms was a bit heavy for his current strength and consumed a lot of his stamina, his strength would still increase in the future.
"The order is full now. You might need to wait for two or three days?" the man answered.
"I'm in a hurry. If you send it tomorrow, I'll add another 3,000!" Luo Yuan typed quickly, worried that the situation would worsen.
The magic of money could make time go round.
The man seemed to be thinking. After about 10 seconds, he typed two words, "5,000! Also, use my card. The card number is * * * * * * *. You'll have to pay first. "
Luo Yuan hesitated for a while and decided, "Okay, deal!"
Even if he was cheated, it was only 5,000. He could afford it. Recent events had made him feel that the money he had was getting less and less valuable. It was more important to spend it as soon as possible and exchange it for resources.
… …..
The next day, Luo Yuan walked into the Delta Gym at around 9 am.
He did not intend to search for it. The gym was not small, and it was the closest to his neighborhood.
His Strength had not increased since his sophomore year. Although his Strength had increased a lot compared to his sophomore year, he still had not met the requirements to add a point. He decided to do high-intensity strength training during this period of time, hoping that he could add a point automatically. Ever since he had returned from the mountain the day before, he had felt a sense of urgency. He was eager to increase his Strength.
"Can I apply for a monthly card here?"
"Of course."
The girl at the front desk looked young. She stood up shyly when she saw Luo Yuan. She explained, "We have many ways to choose from here. There's a three-year card, an annual card, a season card, and a monthly card. Other than that, we also have a secondary card. All of these allow you to enjoy basic fitness facilities. The monthly card costs 600 yuan per month. If you apply for an annual card, you can get a 50% discount. No matter which card you choose, you can enjoy a free shower and a storage box.
You can also sign up for all kinds of training classes, yoga, dance, swimming, or any other coach training. If you have special needs, you can also ask for a personal trainer and massage services. These will all cost extra. "
Luo Yuan thought for a while and asked, "How do I apply for a season card?"
"1,500 yuan!"
"Then help me apply for a season card," Luo Yuan said.
The girl nodded and took out a form. She passed it to Luo Yuan and said, "Please fill out the form first."
"Oh yeah, I want to hire a personal trainer. How much does it cost?" Luo Yuan still had a lot of money in his card, and it was not the time to be frugal.
"100 yuan per hour. You can top up the card and it will be automatically deducted from the membership card, "the girl said with a smile.
"Then I'll top up 1,000 yuan."
Luo Yuan filled out the form and paid with his card. The girl gave him a membership card and said, "The number on the membership card is the number of your locker. The locker is in the changing room."
Luo Yuan took the membership card and walked to the second floor. The second floor was huge. It was more than 1,000 square meters and was separated by a few areas. In the middle of the area were rows of fitness facilities. It was Saturday, the peak business period, so the fitness area was almost full.
There were not only white-collared workers in sports shorts, but also muscular men and women in the city. There were also many old people and children.
Luo Yuan did not bring any clothes with him when he arrived, so he did not go to the changing room. Instead, he went straight to the fitness area.
He called for the service staff.
A tall waitress in a white tennis uniform with snow-white thighs came over with a professional smile.
"I want a personal trainer for two hours. It's best if he's a professional one."
"Alright, sir. This is a proper fitness club. We have many retired or active bodybuilders as our trainers. Please wait for a moment." The service staff took the membership card with a smile and left.
After a while, a middle-aged man with bulging muscles in a tight singlet walked over. He gave off an oppressive vibe.
"Sir, are you interested in bodybuilding?" Maybe it was because of his well-developed facial muscles, but his smile was stiff and full of energy.
"Just call me Luo Yuan. Actually, I'm not interested in bodybuilding." Luo Yuan was not interested in his muscles. Although they looked intimidating, they were not coordinated at all. They sacrificed their agility to increase their strength, but their movements were slow and vulnerable.
"I just want to become stronger and more durable in a short period of time, but I can't lose my agility. I need you to tailor a high-intensity training plan for me. "Luo Yuan emphasized the last part of his sentence to show his determination.
"Of course, no problem. This is my job." The coach smiled stiffly and said, "High-intensity training is a process of destroying and regenerating the body's tissues. Through scientific training, you can be reborn and become stronger. If you haven't done any warm-up exercises before, I suggest you jump rope for a while. "
The middle-aged man had seen many clients like this. Most of them only had a short period of enthusiasm. The better ones could last for four to five days, while the worse ones would never come back after a day. After high-intensity training, the human body would be unusually sore, which was a harsh test of one's willpower. Most people in modern society lived a comfortable life. After trying it once, not many people would persevere to the end.
"I just happened to pass by," Luo Yuan said.
"How long?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised.
"Half an hour," Luo Yuan said after some thought.
"Alright, that's good. Since you've done your warm-up training, let's do muscle exercises now. Let's do some muscle exercises now. First, I want to see your strength limit. Lie down on the bench and push every time I increase the weight. "The middle-aged man found an empty bench and let Luo Yuan lie down.
"Relax your muscles and relax your shoulders. Take a deep breath. Hmm, very good. I'm adding 60 kilograms now. Try to push."
Luo Yuan did not use much strength, so he did it easily. "Too light."
The middle-aged man added another 5 kilograms on both sides, but Luo Yuan still felt like he had extra strength. It was only when he added 90 kilograms that Luo Yuan felt a little tired.
The final test showed that his limit was 95 kilograms.
The middle-aged man was surprised. He did not expect the young man, who looked like a student, to be so strong. Even he could only push 115 kilograms, and that was with his muscles.
Luo Yuan exhaled, satisfied with his strength.
When he was a sophomore, his bench press strength should have been 78 kilograms, and the system's evaluation at that time was still 10 points. If each attribute point increased his Strength by 50 percent, then it should be around 100 kilograms to reach 11 points of Strength. It was totally possible to increase his Strength to 11 points in a short period of time.
