Chapter 9

"Beep-beep-beep! Beep-beep-beep!"

The magic sound of the Apple heart pacemaker poured into his brain, making Lin Li wake up.

The time is 4:30 in the morning.

The sky is like a painting with light ink, hazy and translucent with a faint light. The eastern skyline gradually turned fish-belly white, the sky color turned from ink to blue, and unknown birds sang, their voices pleasant and melodious.

Lin Li never thought that Xilingzhen at 4:00 in the morning would be so beautiful.

"Lao Da," I finally understand you. I finally became a real man.

No one can not be conquered by such a beautiful scene. In this situation, how can one not do something meaningful?

—Sleep for another five minutes, damn it. What an idiot, who the hell gets up so early.

As everyone knows, thirty plus five equals fifty.

At 4:50, Lin Li finally got up from the bed reluctantly.

Actually, he really wanted to get up at 4:59, but he was worried that this low-energy system would judge the node of counting time as when he started exercising. If he washed up and went downstairs, it would be almost five o'clock.

Yawning, Lin Li walked out from the first floor.

Five o'clock in the community isn't exactly deserted. In fact, when Lin Li arrived at the community park, there were already quite a few people here.

Most of them were old men and old ladies, chatting or doing exercises in the park, and there were also middle-aged people running around the park.

However, as for young people like Lin Li, he was the only one, so the old people around looked at Lin Li a few more times.

Lin Li could be considered to have seen a side of this community he had never understood before, and it was really shocking.

"Pili ge bu ci, pu pu, bu ci ke da ci ke bu bu bu—"

An old lady who looked to be over sixty was actually showing off a B-BOX in front of Lin Li!

And another old man, also elderly, was actually doing the moonwalk—friction, friction, it's the devil's footsteps!

Where did this bring me? Is this still the country?

Is the time around six o'clock a watershed between two worlds?

Does this world have an inner world and an outer world?

Or are these old ladies and old men trendy old people with Shanghai visas?

But no matter what, for such powerhouses, Lin Li never skimped on his compliments: "Grandma, your B-BOX is really amazing!"

"What kind of B-thing are you talking about?" If it weren't for the questioning tone the other party used, Lin Li would have felt that the other party was scolding him.

"Just the one you were performing just now..."

"A dandelion just got into my mouth, so unlucky." The old lady got angry as soon as she mentioned it and "bu bu bu" a few more times.

Lin Li: "..."

He looked at the grandfather doing the moonwalk and was already a bit unconfident: "Grandpa, you were just..."

"I stepped on dog shit." The old man continued to rub his shoe soles without raising his head.

It's back, it's all back. He was indeed still in the country. Everyone became intimate all of a sudden. Of course, this didn't prevent Lin Li from staying a little further away from the "dog shit old man," while also paying more attention to his own feet.

Lin Li didn't forget his task and came to the park square.

A large group of old ladies were training neatly for square dancing, but they were very quality-conscious and didn't play music to disturb the people. To some extent, isn't this a silent dance on the front line of the trend?

And it was quite relaxed.

Lin Li didn't join them but found an empty space. This place was close to the pavilion, and there was only one old grandfather in practice clothes doing Tai Chi.

Hmm, very atmospheric for body forging and skill practice.

Lin Li fixed his phone with the phone stand he brought out, opened the Eight-Section Brocade teaching on the website where "Mongolian Single" once appeared, then took a deep breath, and started learning and exercising.

Speaking of which, there are many "roast chickens" on B-station; why don't they trigger some tasks or something?

The reason for practicing Eight-Section Brocade is that the task description requires body forging and skill practice. Lin Li also tried it just now; on the way running over, the progress bar didn't change—running doesn't count.

That is to say, skill practice is also a necessary condition. Fortunately, there is indeed no shortage of skills in the five-thousand-year inheritance.

After confirming that the progress bar started to move, Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief. His idea was indeed correct. Even if he was still in the stage of learning and listening to classes, as long as his body was also following along earnestly, it counted as earnest body forging and skill practice.

Then, he only needed to practice earnestly for an hour.

The old grandfather doing Tai Chi on the side originally thought Lin Li was just a whim, and his movements were very raw. He didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't expect Lin Li to practice so earnestly.

His hands and feet were stretched straight every time, using all his strength. This isn't difficult, but you have to know, this was without anyone supervising. This child's self-control and perseverance were really terrifyingly strong. The old grandfather nodded with relief.

The pillar of the motherland!

Infected by this emotion, he, who was still doing health-preserving Tai Chi, used techniques, his clothes fluttering with every punch. He couldn't lose to this child!

The old man's hot blood was also ignited!

Youth!

The old man is crazy about his youth! Cures kidney deficiency, contains no sugar!

Lin Li didn't know that an old-age hot-blooded anime was being staged beside him. If he knew the old man's thoughts, he would definitely complain.

No one supervising? Your grandfather has no one supervising. He has a low-energy system supervising him in all directions without dead ends!

If he had any move to slack off or hold back, the progress bar would give Lin Li a blow to the head.

It can only be said that the difficulty gap between earnestly learning theory and earnestly forging the body and practicing skills is far beyond Lin Li's imagination.

Lin Li's constitution...

Let's put it this way: Lin Li thinks Bolt is just so-so. 100 meters in 9.58 seconds, and he doesn't even need a hundred meters to run 9.58 seconds.

—Lin Li is actually a weakling who takes four and a half minutes to run 1,000 meters during physical tests. His daily exercise volume is only the bicycle ride to and from school.

Plus, on a summer morning, as time passed, the temperature kept rising. The progress bar was only halfway through, and Lin Li was already sweating profusely. His clothes had obvious color differences due to sweat stains.

At this time, Lin Li's movements were no longer standard, but the good news was that the progress bar was rising normally. After all, the system still knew whether Lin Li was earnestly practicing skills. He wasn't unwilling now, but he was already unable to be standard in his movements.

Lin Li started practicing at five o'clock, but it wasn't until six-thirty that he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground. Finally, he was liberated.
