Chapter 4

~12 min read 2,201 words

Until he was on the way to school, Fang Xing was still thinking about the problem of powerful weapons.

Now his martial arts path had just begun, and he hadn't even finished refining his 'Skin and Flesh' in the first realm; he was just a small shrimp.

Rashly crossing to another world is prone to danger.

But what humans are best at is using tools and borrowing external forces!

"Laser gun, if I had a military-grade one, that would be refreshing..."

A military-grade laser gun definitely wouldn't have the 'cannot be used against humans' program requirement; it could be called a small killing weapon.

"Don't even think about this in a general mall, but the black market..."

Fang Xing kicked a pebble out.

Clatter!

The pebble flew out elegantly and landed in the small river, making over a dozen skips.

Inside the Blue Star Federation, humans are by no means a harmonious whole, but have had constant conflicts since ancient times.

Not only that, those terrifying extraterrestrial evil deities have even mastered the authority of the 'Imaginary Number Space' and can drop dependents into human territory, and even more dangerous evil deity offspring!

The destruction brought is a small matter; the main thing is the spread of faith and even the development of a batch of hidden evil cultists.

"Evil cultists, rebel armies... are the hidden troubles within humanity..."

"It is said that there is a black market outside Maple Leaf City, where everything can be sold, and there might even be traces of evil cultists..."

"This water is too deep, and I am a good student."

"What's more, I don't have enough money..."

Thinking of his wallet balance, Fang Xing immediately lost all thoughts: "Next, study hard, work hard... try to save money. I can't afford a laser gun, but buying an electric baton is fine..."

Three days later.

【Name: Fang Xing】

【Age: 16】

【Profession: Martial Artist】

【First Realm: Skin and Flesh (Refining Skin: 22/100)】

【Military Fist Twelve Styles: 57/100 (Entry)】

【Great Dragon Stance: 68/100 (Entry)】

【Gate of All Worlds: 5/100 (Locating)】

Inside the school, Fang Xing finished the Great Dragon Stance and looked at the attribute bar, somewhat silent.

"Three days of bitter practice, the fastest growing one is actually the Gate of All Worlds... speechless..."

"The most important martial arts realm, refining skin only increased by 1 point of proficiency. Calculating this way, I still need 231 days to complete the refining of skin, and then refine flesh... Only when both skin and flesh are perfect can I attempt to break through to the second martial realm—Tendon and Bone!"

"Refining skin takes nearly a year, refining flesh will only be harder, not to mention that increasing by one point in three days is the early stage; in the later stage, it might be one point in four days, or even one point in five days..."

"Calculating this way, wanting to break through to the third martial realm before graduation is truly dreaming..."

Fang Xing pursed his lips.

Of course, the account isn't calculated this way; whether it's special nutritional medicine or auxiliary training equipment, they can greatly increase the training speed.

However, these have nothing to do with him.

"The only way is the 'Great Dragon Stance'!"

"Now my Great Dragon Stance is still at the entry level, so the efficiency of refining skin and flesh is naturally not high... but when it reaches a higher level... the efficiency will definitely not be comparable."

"It's a pity that the Great Dragon Stance doesn't improve quickly either. The martial arts path is indeed difficult..."

Fang Xing sighed secretly.

"Ah Xing... get ready to work, this time we're going to the rich area... Glorious Jiangfu, have you heard of it?"

Liu Wei came over, acting cheap, his eyes darting around.

"Oh? That famous rich residential area, all the people living there are rich..."

Fang Xing seemed to think of something, his mouth curling up slightly: "Someone in school... seems to live in Glorious Jiangfu..."

Hearing this, Liu Wei's face turned a bit red, and he looked left and right: "Less nonsense, are you going or not?"

"Definitely going!"

Fang Xing agreed immediately: "I'm short on money... but let's agree first, I won't take second-realm orders..."

"Definitely, second-realm martial artists don't look down on us either..." Liu Wei answered as a matter of course.

With the technology of the Blue Star Federation, it is now very difficult to find jobs that are purely manual labor.

What the predecessor and Liu Wei found before naturally wasn't ordinary work, but—human stakes!

For martial artists, hitting stakes is ultimately not as fast as hitting living people!

Some natural-born students have the need to hire human stakes to practice martial arts.

'The human body is the most precise and complex. It's not that there are no specialized training robots, but using them for first-realm martial artists is too luxurious, far less cost-effective than hiring people... This is a question of cost-effectiveness.'

On the way to Glorious Jiangfu, Fang Xing pondered secretly.

After getting off the maglev train, his eyes lit up.

Appearing before him were green hills and clear waters, with only a few villas dotted among them, appearing incredibly harmonious and antique.

The streets were clean and tidy, with few pedestrians, but everyone was well-dressed.

The environment near Yucai High School is already considered good, but compared to here, it is immediately the difference between a pheasant and a phoenix.

At the gate of Glorious Jiangfu, there were two security guards in uniforms, standing straight like pines, carrying an inexplicable temperament.

Fang Xing knew at a glance that these two definitely possessed the Great Dragon Stance above the entry level, and their aura was even more fierce and compelling.

'Is this the rich area? Even the security guards are at least third-realm martial artists...'

He complained in his heart, and Liu Wei next to him had already walked up with a smile: "Two seniors, hello, Brother Wang... have a cigarette."

They had worked here before and were considered familiar faces, knowing that these two security guards were both from Yucai High School and were fierce men who had survived the battlefield.

If they weren't fierce, they wouldn't be able to compete for this job.

Brother Wang had an honest face, waved his hand, and said righteously: "Little Liu, even if we know each other, we still have to follow the procedure... Register first, then let the owner call, and then we can let people in!"

"This is natural, this is natural..."

Liu Wei nodded repeatedly, let Fang Xing come forward to register, and gave him a look.

Fang Xing stepped forward, turned his body in a direction, and blocked the surveillance.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Liu Wei unobtrusively stuffing a pack of cigarettes into Brother Wang's pocket, and couldn't help but nod: 'This technique is so skillful... it's even more painstaking than the Military Fist Twelve Styles...'

However, Fang Xing still understood the principle that it's easy to deal with the King of Hell but hard to deal with the little ghosts, so he could only curse secretly in his heart: 'Galaxy brand? It should cost over a thousand a pack, right? How black-hearted...'

Brother Wang accepted the cigarettes and smiled: "The call has been received, we will take you there... this is the rule."

While speaking, he walked towards the maglev car next to the guard booth: "Get in!"

This was obviously to prevent visitors from wandering around and disturbing other owners.

Fang Xing and Liu Wei got in, and the maglev car immediately hovered and flew towards a villa.

Along the way, the leather seats were very comfortable, and there was no bumping at all.

Liu Wei looked left and right, as if it were his first time here, making Fang Xing laugh secretly, knowing that the other party was looking for his white moonlight—Ouyang Qianqian.

Ouyang Qianqian is Liu Wei's classmate, her figure is well-developed, her skin is fair, and her eyes are big.

The key is—the other party is a natural-born human!

Although there is no legal barrier between natural-born humans and biochemical humans, the series of gaps in ethnicity, resources, social status, etc., is enough to make a young boy feel despair.

Precisely because of this, Liu Wei has always hidden his admiration in his heart; besides Fang Xing, no one in the class knows he has a crush on Ouyang Qianqian.

Just at this moment, another maglev car flew over and crossed paths with Fang Xing and the others.

In the car, it seemed there was only a young girl sitting.

"Eh!"

Liu Wei turned his head abruptly, his eyes widened, but he quickly closed his mouth.

"Alright, we're here..."

Brother Wang sent Fang Xing and Liu Wei to the gate of a villa, then drove away stylishly.

At this time, Liu Wei spoke: "Ah Xing, that person just now... seems to be Bai Lianyi, right?"

"Don't know, didn't see clearly."

After all, it was just a fleeting glance, but Fang Xing felt there was a 70-80% possibility.

"Bai Lianyi is a biochemical human like us, how could she afford to live in this kind of place? She is also a top student in the class... but she has always disliked associating with us. Could it be that the rumors are true?"

Liu Wei's eyes darted around.

Fang Xing couldn't help but be speechless. Bai Lianyi looks good, and the key is that she has a temperament of a girl next door. In terms of looks, she is even above Ouyang Qianqian. There are many people in school who admire her, and because she is not very gregarious and has no little sisters, rumors have gradually spread.

"It's said that it's four hundred once..."

Liu Wei seemed to be talking to himself.

"Ahem, don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors... what's more..."

Fang Xing raised his chin slightly, signaling that the employer was about to come out, and there was surveillance at the door, so Liu Wei had better not court death like this.

"Sigh..."

Liu Wei sighed: "It's a pity... I don't have money."

Fang Xing couldn't help but look sideways, knowing that Liu Wei's savings were more than his own, and he was even more stingy than himself.

'What about your white moonlight Ouyang Qianqian? Could it be that she still can't compare to the cinnabar mole?'

He was about to say something when the villa gate opened automatically, and a girl's voice came out: "You're here? Come to the training ground yourselves!"

Fang Xing walked through the garden and came to a flat ground.

Some wooden stakes and racks were placed around, on which were various weapons.

He sniffed and smelled a strong medicinal scent, knowing that these were specially made wooden stakes, which had been soaked in medicinal water and could effectively repair physical damage and activate Qi and blood.

Beside the wooden stakes, a girl was standing.

She had a bun, looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, still had childishness on her face, her features were exquisite, very cute, wearing a training suit, and holding a wooden sword in her hand.

The wooden sword was dark red, the texture on it was clearly visible, and it carried a layer of grease-like luster. I don't know how long it had been rubbed by people.

"My name is 'Gu Yun', I hired you."

Gu Yun flicked the wooden sword and pointed at a weapon rack: "Do you know what to do? Go get two wooden sticks, let's practice..."

"This... little sister, it's not very good, what if we accidentally hurt you..." Liu Wei picked up the wooden stick skillfully, waved it, and a muffled sound came from the air, and he said somewhat embarrassedly.

Gu Yun raised her eyebrows: "If you can hurt me, I'll double your wages!"

"Good!"

Liu Wei shouted, holding the stick with both hands, a move of 'Splitting the Mountain', and the stick shadow smashed down fiercely.

Slap!

The stick hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

"So fast!"

Fang Xing's face twitched, recalling the little girl's movements just now, feeling that her footsteps were like a civet cat, moving like a gale.

"Kill!"

While pondering, a black shadow flashed beside him, accompanied by a delicate shout, and a sword shadow slashed onto Liu Wei's shoulder.

"Ah!"

Liu Wei screamed and was slashed away, his shoulder seeming to be dislocated.

If it were a real sword, his shoulder and half of his body would probably have been cut off.

Liu Wei fell to the ground, looked at Gu Yun, and couldn't help but wail: "Refining flesh perfect? And B-grade martial arts 'Magic Sword'? Damn, even second-realm martial artists might not be able to beat you? This order is wrong!"

"But I am just a first-realm martial artist, and haven't broken through yet..."

Gu Yun smiled sweetly and looked at Fang Xing: "It's your turn... however, I am indeed too strong, this doesn't have a training effect..."

She pressed the ring watch on her hand, and the clothes on her body suddenly lit up: "Wait for me to activate the gravity suit before fighting you!"
