I love you already—geniuses must have confidence in themselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, Sun Guanli, show them around Chiqiong Martial Arts Gym.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Qi and Fang Huiyi left, Yue Feng watched Lin Qi’s back vanish from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I originally planned to offer an A-class contract outright, but that would be too risky—he’d become a target for everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Better to wait until his provincial ranking improves further; then upgrading to an A-class contract will be natural.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since I didn’t uncover a genius with a special awakening ability, this year’s evaluation rests on you, Lin Qi,” Yue Feng murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, this is our recovery zone. Next to it is the training equipment area, with strength testers, speed testers, even devices to measure neural reaction time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second floor of Chiqiong Martial Arts Gym, Sun Guanli led Lin Qi on a tour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, during his part-time job, he had only moved between Guo Heng’s martial arts room and the virtual chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the entire recovery room, rows of egg-shaped pods lined the walls—slightly smaller than virtual cabins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, since your mother isn’t in good health, you can bring her here often to use the recovery pods to relax muscles and nourish internal organs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We also have specialized masseurs who can unblock meridians, stimulate blood and qi, greatly aiding physical recovery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the cafeteria’s nutritional meals are available anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, you can apply for two family cards for your parents; their expenses can be settled directly through your account.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plus, for hospital expenses beyond insurance, our gym covers 20%,” Sun Guanli added with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi’s eyes lit up—his mother’s poor health couldn’t be fixed by supplements alone; external recovery was vital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with 20% reimbursement at hospitals, his mother Fang Huiyi spent a fortune on medical care every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With family cards, he didn’t know how much money he could save.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, you can step in and try one right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huiyi didn’t refuse, slowly entering a recovery pod as a cool sensation spread around her body, seeping through her skin into muscles and organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of comfort washed over her—like a spa, something she’d never experienced before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The recovery session lasts one or two hours. Lin Qi, let me show you the private martial arts rooms,” Sun Guanli suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure!” Lin Qi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Guanli led Lin Qi down the corridor, soon reaching the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, three figures appeared—among them, Qiu Siying, a beautiful girl with the bearing of wealth, frowned in confusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that Guo Heng’s friend from Erzhong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s him—Lin Qi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiang nodded in confirmation; the boy’s striking appearance made him unforgettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once certain, the three exchanged glances, all stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? Sun Guanli personally escorting him, so gentle? I’ve seen how stern he usually is,” Wu Feng shook his head, baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Qiu Siying took a photo and sent it to Guo Heng; moments later, she received a reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Heng: “?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Guanli brought Lin Qi to a white metal door labeled B123.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A digital screen was pasted on the door; he began operating it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, I’ve registered your identity, palm print, and iris.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although headquarters hasn’t finalized approval yet, you may already use all facilities within the gym.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding!” The metal door slid open, revealing a spacious martial arts room: recovery pods, private bathroom, strength tester, punching bags, various weapons…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was there—nearly identical to Guo Heng’s martial arts room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one hour in this room cost a thousand Xiaoguo yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he’d envied it endlessly—now he had his own private martial arts room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, let me introduce you,” Sun Guanli said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi shook his head: “I already know—I worked as a sparring partner here before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Guanli froze, surprised inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he smiled: “Lin Qi, you’ve had such experience? You truly have a connection with Chiqiong Martial Arts Gym.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But there’s one thing you probably haven’t experienced.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the wall, pressed a button, and a black metal panel slid open, revealing a square white machine inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed the button—next second, countless green beams shot from every corner of the ceiling, converging into light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rapidly forming a beautiful girl in a red-and-white fitted combat suit, with delicate features, pale skin, and a cold, elegant aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Chiqiong Martial Arts Gym’s AI assistant. You may allow it to connect to your phone network.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then give voice commands to assist your martial arts cultivation—like ordering takeout,” Sun Guanli explained with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi studied the girl before him—her expressions, clothing details, all felt utterly real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the difference between this and a sentient AI?” Lin Qi asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve seen sentient AIs—they move through physical carriers, follow their masters constantly, and can protect them in critical moments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a huge advantage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this AI’s carrier is a bulky, immobile projector,” Sun Guanli explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded—he knew there were other differences, but even the portability Sun Guanli mentioned made the value entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, get to know your AI. I have other business to attend to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing off Sun Guanli, the martial arts room fell silent, leaving only Lin Qi and the AI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have a name?” Lin Qi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I am Chiqiong third-generation AI, serial number: 9527,” the girl replied, her voice crisp and sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll be called Xiao Chan from now on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi suddenly felt inspired and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master, for naming me. Xiao Chan acknowledges,” Xiao Chan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Chan, what can you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chan waved her hand, projecting a screen before Lin Qi filled with her user manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most functions matched his expectations: voice commands for ordering takeout, projecting videos, searching data, freeing his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can even change Xiao Chan’s outfit and hairstyle?” Lin Qi was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately tried it, changing her gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light before him reformed—Xiao Chan now wore long, silky black hair and a blue fitted combat suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded in satisfaction—she looked a bit like the Third Holy Mother from his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began walking through the martial arts room, processing everything he’d just experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Signing the B-class contract with Chiqiong Martial Arts Gym meant he was now officially their genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With someone as powerful as Yue Feng supporting him, he now had backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the large sum of Xiaoguo yuan and resources he’d soon receive—even his mother Fang Huiyi benefited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he immediately pulled out his phone and sent a message to his father Lin Zhen—no reply; he was probably still working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he sent a text to Jiang Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Jiang Tao replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Bro, I’ll come over this afternoon to sign the contract with Chiqiong Martial Arts Gym.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he picked up his spear and began practicing spear techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-06-20T20:27:41.493Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9d687fdb34fec249a3f51dadf6eb6c774c4be2bf167c1135cdfac46dbfd65255","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-59","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-57",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-cover.jpg"]
