It was the middle of November, and the beginning of winter had passed. The light snow had yet to fully fall, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Xia City no longer had its name. The wind blew from the sea. It was cold and damp, especially at night. The wind could seep into one's bones.
The Mind Study of Divine Yu Gym was originally the resting place of Gym Master Xiu. All of his belongings had been moved, including the tai chi ball powered by the Dynamo Core that had yet to be repaired. It was spacious and spacious, restoring the original appearance of the training field. The cold wind blew in through the wide open door, making whooshing sounds.
Luo Nan didn't care about this. He lay on the cork floor with his upper body bare. Sweat poured from his body like syrup, and the heat rising from his body had already formed a domain that enveloped his entire body. Let alone the cold wind blowing from the sea, even if he were to throw it into a refrigerator, the cold air inside would be melted away.
The dagger he used in the fight just now had fallen to the side of his face. The tip of the dagger was pointed at him. Luo Nan tilted his head and was about to touch it, but he didn't want to move a single finger.
Xue Lei, who stood to the side, was a bit out of breath at Luo Nan's ghastly appearance.
The current Luo Nan was far from being Xue Lei's opponent, but after over a dozen days of beating, Luo Nan had become more and more adept at utilizing the strength and reactions of his meridian points and internal organs. Xue Lei was a bit worried that Luo Nan would make a comeback while wielding a sharp blade. Xue Lei was a bit tired, and Luo Nan was tormented even more miserably.
Gym Master Xiu was the one who requested this duel, but he had already left for his new residence to tidy up. Only the two bitter youngsters were left to 'consciously' practice according to the requirements.
Xue Lei was certainly very obedient, but Luo Nan was more or less forced. This was because Xiu Shenyu had said some harsh words to him when they arrived at the gym in the evening.
What did he say?
"As a cultivator, interference has never been a reason to not do well. If you want to obtain extraordinary power, you must be affected by the forces of nature. You must be countered by the entire society. If you have to find a reason, then no one under the heavens can help you! "
These words made Luo Nan stupefied on the spot. Then came the storm-like sanshou practice, all the way until now.
Xue Lei meticulously carried out the gym master's demands, and finally began to think. He had always considered himself to be Gym Master Xiu's translator, but right now, he couldn't quite grasp the situation. "Hey, what did you do to make Gym Master so angry?"
Luo Nan's chest violently heaved up and down. He nearly choked out a single word, but his thoughts recovered from the emptiness brought about by exhaustion: "I'm talking about … … impetuous."
"Ah?"
"I've been busy lately. I'm distracted."
Luo Nan felt tired saying another word. He closed his eyes and forcefully squeezed out the sweat that soaked into his eyes. But he was unable to avoid the feeling of soreness.
This was the only reason.
Luo Nan had been really busy recently. He was so busy that he couldn't split himself. Not only did he have to monitor the movements of the Wraith Sign and the Cloud World, he also had to pay attention to the conflict between the Bloodflame Order and Tian Bang's faction in Xia City, and he also had to complete the three security commissions. He had to be even more vigilant against his old enemies. Of course, he also had to train, study, and take remedial lessons …
Seven or eight items were tangled into a ball. Even if he could still manage it now, it inevitably caused some haste and perfunctory, adding a bit of impetuousness.
There was a saying: If you don't train for one day, you will know. If you don't train for two days, your master will know. If you don't train for three days, the whole world will know.
Luo Nan was pretty much in between the first and second stages. He had already forgotten and skipped two of his afternoon classes. Even when he did his homework, he had to make sure that time was his number one priority. His concentration had declined to varying degrees.
It was easy to understand the reasoning, but it wasn't easy to do it. That was why Gym Master Xiu used this method to help him realize it.
Luo Nan had to maintain extreme concentration during his training with Xue Lei, clearing away all distracting thoughts when he was at a terrible disadvantage … … And he really did it. The price was his dead dog-like present.
Luo Nan really wanted to sleep just like this, sleep until dawn.
His wristband vibrated, and a message came in. He didn't want to care about it. But then the HexaEar also vibrated.
"Hey, rice is being sent. See if you received it." Zhang Yingying giggled as she passed the message. She casually added a description, but it made Luo Nan's half-disabled brain dizzy.
"... Rice?"
"The first wave of money from Trigate Security!" Zhang Yingying emphasized in a bad mood. "I didn't ask you to treat me. It's too early to play dumb."
"Oh," Luo Nan responded weakly.
"What's wrong? You got cooked?"
"I just sparred. I'm tired."
Zhang Yingying understood. She saw that Luo Nan really wasn't in the right state, so she stopped teasing him. "All right. Keep training. Remember to eat more supplements when you get the money."
She hung up the call after speaking.
Only then did Luo Nan lift up his painstakingly left wrist and place it before his eyes. A message appeared on his wristband. It came from a bank. "Your account number XXXX. 1,550,000 credits were transferred to you on November 16th. Account balance … …"
Oh, it looked like the clue of the Wing-Hand Bat had been confirmed.
According to the contract signed with Trigate Security, the hunting and hunting operation was carried out according to the list confirmed by both sides. It required the extermination of all intruders and infected. Every target would receive a corresponding monetary reward. Based on the results of the search, the money would be transferred to Luo Nan's account on the 16th of every month.
Since Luo Nan appeared in the form of a crow, the money had to be transferred to the Hidden Indigo Business Firm.
In any case, it was important that the money was in his hands.
After the 1,550,000 credits were transferred, the most direct change was that the bank, the credit organization, the SCA, and other authority departments all received a continuous stream of notifications.
The wristband vibrated every few seconds. The message it sent indicated that Luo Nan's personal credit and social authority level had been pulled to the second level. In other words, he was underage and had some restrictions. Otherwise, it would have been very easy for him to enter the first level.
Xue Lei finally understood what was going on from the side. He clapped his hands and laughed. "Excellent. We have supper for tonight."
Luo Nan grinned bitterly. "Can you wait for me to sleep first?"
Though Luo Nan said this, he laid on the ground like a corpse for another ten minutes. The interference and transformation between the mental and material planes allowed his energy to gradually recover. At the very least, he had the strength to walk and eat.
It was already nightfall. The city was submerged in a sea of light. In the sky, a long fleet of centipedes was moving along the public transport light rail. They meandered back and forth between the tall buildings, like shadowy snakes floating in a sea of light.
In the next moment, several segments of equal length unraveled from the back of this snake. Each segment was an autonomous flying car. The flying cars lit up their lights and decelerated one after another. They cut into the guiding light rail of Boshan Building and stopped on various landing platforms. The white-collar workers were exhausted to the point of death after a day of work. They climbed into the cars one after another, enjoying the precious time of leisure on the way home.
Xue Lei had already reserved a seat in the flying car through the smart secretary on his wristband terminal. Luo Nan disregarded everything and climbed into the car. He sat paralyzed on the soft seat. His back was pressed against the back of the seat. He didn't want to get up.
