Report

Ten minutes later, Lin Sheng got off the bus and walked through the entrance of the park. He saw the person he was looking for at the entrance of the ice cream shop on the right.

Shen Yan was standing with another girl. The two of them were stomping their feet to keep warm while chatting.

Both of them were dressed in white. One was in sportswear, the other in a sweater and jeans. They were very eye-catching.

"You're early." Lin Sheng walked over to greet them.

"I've been waiting for you for a while." Shen Yan let out a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Sheng.

She had changed into a slim-fitting sportswear and her hair was cut short. Although she was not very pretty, her tall and slender figure gave her a youthful aura.

"This is my best friend, Chen Lin." Shen Yan patted the long-haired girl beside her.

"Hello, I'm Shen Yan's classmate, Lin Sheng." Lin Sheng smiled politely at the girl.

"Hello." The girl seemed a little shy, and her voice was very soft.

"Alright, take out the money. I have something to do later. Let's split it first. "Lin Sheng reminded her.

Shen Yan did not hesitate. She immediately pulled out a small waist bag from the back of her waist and unzipped it.

"Last week, we collected a total of one hundred and twenty-four yuan. We'll split it fifty-fifty, sixty-two yuan each. Is that okay?" She counted sixty-two yuan and put it in Lin Sheng's hand.

"So little?" Lin Sheng frowned.

If it was before, this was a lot of money. This was part of the income he and Shen Yan earned from renting books in the school.

"It's already a lot. It's only been a week! "Shen Yan argued.

Lin Sheng shook his head. The Steelscale Club gave him his first month's salary in one go, which was seven hundred and fifty yuan.

With so much money, looking at the sixty or so, it really wasn't a lot.

Of course, it was a lot for students.

After splitting the money, Shen Yan wanted to invite Lin Sheng to go shopping with them and eat something. Lin Sheng tactfully declined.

He didn't go far. He found a remote corner in Rainbow Park, picked up a wooden stick, and began to practice the basic moves.

Although Naxi swordsmanship mainly relied on calculation and timing, the unknown swordsmanship system obtained from Ravel and the mercenary was not limited to this type.

If he wanted to turn the muscle memory in the fragmented memories into his own instincts, he would have to practice repeatedly to speed up the transformation.

After practicing a whole set of basic moves, Lin Sheng sat to the side to rest.

Coincidentally, a girl pushed a drink cart over from the curve of the park.

The cart was wrapped in white paper and looked neat and tidy. There were all kinds of beverage packaging stacked on the cart.

Lin Sheng walked over and felt for the change in his pocket.

"Give me a bottle of mineral water."

He handed over a dollar.

The girl was wearing a cap. Her black hair draped over her shoulders. Her skin was fair, and her eyes were big and charming. She gave off a faint sense of purity.

Hearing the noise, she quickly took a bottle of mineral water from the cart and handed it over.

"Here."

"Thank you." Lin Sheng took the water and took a sip.

"You came to exercise so early in the morning? You students are so energetic, "the girl said with a smile.

"It's okay. I woke up in the morning and couldn't sleep, so I came out to exercise," Lin Sheng replied casually.

"To be honest, sometimes it's a little dangerous to get up too early," the girl said mysteriously. "A while ago, I got up early to push the cart to this park. If it weren't for my good luck … Tsk tsk …"

Lin Sheng did not say anything. It was obvious that the girl was waiting for him to cooperate.

However, he did not want to listen at all, so he deliberately pretended not to understand.

"Have you heard about the robbery and murder? It was at the back entrance of Rainbow Park! I pass by that place every day. Who would have thought that something would happen? "

The girl was completely unaffected and continued to ramble on.

"Robbery and murder?"

"Yes, I heard that it was only cleaned up this morning and the cordon was removed. No one was allowed to pass before," the girl muttered, stroking her chin.

"But, logically speaking, if it was a robbery, as long as the victim cooperated, there shouldn't be so much blood … I passed by once while pushing the cart. The ground, tsk tsk, was full of blood! It felt like torture! "

"This is the downtown area, close to the central area. Why is there no news about such a big incident?" Lin Sheng frowned.

"Who knows? It's probably because the nature of the case is too bad. The higher-ups want to calm the people down and don't want to announce it." The girl shook her head. "I also heard that some people heard gunshots here for a while."

"… That's not an ordinary case …" Lin Sheng was basically sure that this was not a robbery and murder case.

It was obvious that the relevant departments found a gimmick to attract everyone's attention.

However, this had nothing to do with him. What he needed to do now was to focus on training and improving himself.

Only by continuous training could he completely integrate the memory fragments he absorbed into his combat instincts. Become his own.

As for the rest, Lin Sheng could feel that the government was hiding something. But so what? He did not care about these so-called inside stories. Since the higher-ups were hiding something, there must be a reason for it.

After training, he took the car home again and took out his books and exercise books to revise. The college entrance examination was coming, and it was time to decide his life.

If he wanted to be like the salted fish he used to be, he would not be able to get up.

Lin Sheng also began to sprint and study seriously. With his mature IQ that far exceeded that of his peers, he did have an advantage in many subjects, but he could not do anything about many pure computing subjects.

For such subjects, the only way was to overload with questions.

Time passed in the continuous revision.

Soon, it was time to go to the Steelscale Clubhouse every week.





Steelscale Clubhouse.

Ding, ding, ding.

In the field, Lin Sheng was feeding Madillan moves, only defending and not attacking. The two swords kept colliding, and the fight was colorful.

"My dad told me not to go out for a while, and not to go to the wild," Russell said lazily as he leaned against the corner of the wall.

"Me too. It should be the case from before," Xia Yin replied calmly.

"What do you think happened? I asked my dad, but they didn't say anything. They just hid it from me, "Russell whispered.

Xia Yin shook her head. "I don't know, either. Only my grandfather knows, but he didn't say a word. He just told us to pay attention to our personal safety and not to go to uninhabited places."

"Hehe, it was the same with the arson case at the port. More than ten containers were burned. That was by the sea. How much fuel would it take to burn all ten containers? Isn't that nonsense? "

Russell curled his lips. "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there's something wrong with this, okay?"

"Anyway, that's the adults' business. We just need to take care of ourselves. Don't worry about it. Practice your swordsmanship well, young man. "Xia Yin waved her hand impatiently and did not want to say anything more.

"That's true. If I don't use my merit points, even Madillan will surpass me." Russell thought it made sense. He took off his mask and walked toward the two who had just stopped in the field with his sword.

Lin Sheng parried Madillan's sword with his sword and stepped back. It was Russell's turn.

The two followed the standard swordsmanship etiquette, drawing a cross in front of them with their swords.

"Is the case you were talking about the one in Rainbow Park?" Lin Sheng suddenly asked.
