Chapter 55: Chapter 51: Financial Management Products, Future Warriors
[Intermediate Achievement - Deep Sleep (19/30)]
Qin Shi woke up from the soft bed, his eyes slightly dazed. He was used to sleeping on a hard wooden bed at home, and he wasn’t quite adapted to this kind of experience of sinking in and being engulfed by comfort.
The cool morning breeze blew open the veil curtains, making him feel even more inclined to "sleep a little longer."
"Luxury really wears down one’s will."
Qin Shi sighed, then suddenly sat up, barefoot on the soft carpet, basking in the summer sunshine streaming through the window.
It’s a beautiful day, starting again!
"If I’d lived like this from birth, I probably wouldn’t have worked so hard to study and get into New One Middle School. But then again, with better family conditions and rich educational resources, it would have saved me a lot of effort."
Qin Shi quickly washed up, his thoughts wandering. There’s a significant gap in educational resources between local Urban Circle residents and those from the Old Town District.
He remembered back in Sons and Daughters Eleven Middle School, the school didn’t even have a computer room. Every computer class was just watching Star Cup match highlights or historical documentaries from old times. It wasn’t until entering New One Middle School that he first encountered computers.
"My first time in the computer room, wearing shoe covers, issuing identification cards, learning how to boot up..."
Qin Shi recalled the teacher facing a bulky square computer with an extremely worshipful expression, and couldn’t help but smile:
"Not surfing the web, more like worshipping at a temple."
He opened the door and went downstairs to the dining room.
The lazy bone Lin Yunqing was probably still snoring away; he casually opened the fridge, took out several cans of high-energy food, devouring them as breakfast.
Compared to calling the community caretaker to order bread, milk, fried eggs, and pasta, high-energy food cans consumed more physical energy and were thus his top choice.
"No flavor, but it recharges quickly."
Qin Shi chewed, swallowed quickly, finishing a can in a few minutes.
Perhaps due to unlocking the [Overgrowth] achievement, on his food priority list, the more nutritious and energy-containing, the higher the priority.
Synthetic ones are the solid concentrate of Energy Liquid, far stronger than rice and meat protein. Nutritional Paste has a higher concentration, ensuring daily consumption while providing high energy storage.
This not only prevents hunger easily but also supports long-term life activities, avoiding hypothermia, palpitations, and hypoglycemia.
"It’s said that above high-energy food, there’s this top-grade Energy Liquid. One injection makes you energized, disease-free."
Qin Shi pondered when he could snag a bottle from Lin Yunqing to taste.
Since sweeping away the fake drug dealer gang in Silver Horse Gym a few days ago, his life resumed its usual steady rhythm.
Occasionally visiting Old Liang during the day to refine Old Martial Training Method and Technique, working part-time at North Gate Street Midnight Imperial Palace at night.
Additionally, he started mooching food and drink at Lin Yunqing’s place, freeloading on high-energy food cans, while occasionally guest-starring as a 500-yuan-per-hour sparring partner.
"That lazy woman yesterday washed my short-sleeve, long pants, and shoes while I was changing training clothes, causing me to be stranded."
This unexpected situation forced Qin Shi to stay overnight at Lin Yunqing’s villa. Remembering her favor from last time, he held back from delivering three intentional punches as a thank-you.
"You’re up early, little Assistant Qin."
As Qin Shi wrapped up his morning workout, completing fifteen cycles of Qi sensitivity, Lin Yunqing came out covered tightly in a robe.
Thankfully, she’s not the bold type, wrapped up tightly, avoiding provocative teasing antics.
"The Inspection Department called a few days ago about your report on the fake drug dealers at Silver Horse Gym. Case closed, there’s about a 1,500-yuan reward. When are you picking it up?"
Lin Yunqing calmly cleaned her face.
"Such quick efficiency?"
Qin Shi expressed astonishment.
"Those detained gym coaches died suddenly from alleged food poisoning."
Lin Yunqing casually mentioned while turning on the TV for daily news:
"The Inspection group is in turmoil, thoroughly investigating the poisoning source...currently they’ve only apprehended a few suspected gangsters."
Poisoning?
Qin Shi squinted his eyes, recalling sensing waves of killing intent at Silver Horse Gym that day.
Ultimately, he pinpointed the source on the third floor, then inquired Zhou Ning, learning it was boss Zhao Kun’s office.
"Could it be, that I, a diligent, hard-working student, still end up targeted by evil forces!
Because I disrupted their business, inadvertently tackling a huge profit fake drug syndicate, they plan to send assassins to take me down?"
Qin Shi concocted a rational scenario. This classic plot from online literature often involves provoking antagonist organizations, leading to targeted attacks, oppression, even persecution, forcing dramatic counterattacks!
Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but feel excited. His Life Force nearing seventeen points might finally have a purpose!
"I need Zhou to keep an eye on Silver Horse Gym, then have Teacher Lin ask friends from the Inspection group to investigate Zhao Kun, nip the danger in the bud!"
Qin Shi pondered strategies as his peripheral vision glided past the Monument Panel.
[Intermediate Achievement - Deep Sleep (19/30)]
[Intermediate Achievement - Muscle Memory (34%)]
[Intermediate Achievement - Overgrowth (2%)]
"Before school starts, Deep Sleep should advance to Advanced Level, with better effects. As for Muscle Memory, it progresses a few percent daily, not slow."
Qin Shi smiled, feeling quite satisfied.
Even if Overgrowth lagged a bit, it didn’t matter; he’d collected several series of achievement badges.
Thoughts flickered as he unfolded the details, seeing granite-like stone slabs, with deep carvings akin to knife marks.
[Carnivorous][Herbivore][Earth Eater]
Qin Shi grimaced:
"Besides these three, can a normal person eat anything else? Can’t be an...excrement eater, right?"
He even spent money on a clean bag of kaolin to sample, all for the badges.
"Without high-level energy supplements, early-stage Life Force growth slows down.
Next, it’ll rely on gradual enhancement through training."
Qin Shi glanced at his data——
Old Martial Training Method Lv3 (7/40)
Old Martial Technique Lv3 (2/40)
His Training Method and Technique both elevated to Lv3. The former’s Qi sensitivity cycle became habitual, as natural as breathing; the latter improved in Force Manipulation and body coordination.
Every night in Consciousness Space, Li Yuan and Xie Yucheng would be ravaged in various styles dozens of times.
Recently escalating to "No-Damage Normal Attack Flow," "Prohibited Dodging, No Retreat Circle Flow," "Only Using Guard to Exhaust Stamina Flow" for challenge completions.
"I need to find a chance and force Old Liang to teach me a lesson! Without getting beaten up, how can my Technique progress!"
Qin Shi resolved, he’s tired of speed-clearing solo runs with Yuan brother and Cheng brother. They’re becoming redundant.
It’s time to experience higher-level end bosses!
Sons and Daughters Ninth Middle School Guardian - Old Liang!
Body 16.1→16.8
Spirit 15.2→15.5
"Combat retrospect intensity isn’t enough, my Spiritual Power’s stagnant too."
Qin Shi shifted his gaze to Lin Yunqing. Speaking of which, why not use her as a new punching bag?
Being a sparring partner lately, perhaps he hadn’t fought enough matches.
Currently, only Li Yuan and Xie Yucheng were selectable opponents.
Lin Yunqing heard the doorbell, speaking:
"The delivery’s here, little Assistant Qin, help me grab it."
Though usually plain, she deeply cared for her skin, going all out for hydration and moisturizing, busying herself all morning.
No wonder her skin looked so smooth and delicate...
Qin Shi glanced at her robe slipping off her shoulders, chuckling to himself, she’s a woman with smooth, sliding shoulders!
He got up to open the door, seeing a refined young man wearing black-framed glasses and an administrative jacket.
"You are?"
Qin Shi hesitated briefly.
"Hello, my name is Lin Xiaohan, I’m Yunqing’s older brother."
The genteel young man’s stiff expression vanished quickly, replaced by a warm, charming smile.
Uh-oh!
Spending the night at a female teacher’s house, getting caught by her brother the next morning, what to do?
Qin Shi’s heart raced, wondering if admitting everything, claiming he did nothing more than gentle joint massages, would this Qiguang Heng University General Affairs Department head believe him?
"Are you Xiao Qin? Yunqing often mentions you."
Lin Xiaohan, full of grace, smiled lightly:
"I’m off today, so I came by to check if my thoughtless sister made a mess of the place."
He walked in while surveying around, feeling relieved.
No signs of fierce fights...
But seeing Lin Yunqing in a night robe with a facial mask, his temple veins throbbed.
Lin Xiaohan frowned, lightly scolding:
"Is this how a young lady should behave? Not mindful despite being under the same roof with her student!"
Glancing at Qin Shi who kept a respectful distance, Lin Yunqing peeled off the mask, defending herself:
"Little Assistant Qin is my investment project, understand? Maintaining a close relationship, warming up feelings is vital for long-term investment.
I’ve withdrawn all my pocket money from Dongxia Bank for investment in the ’Future Warrior Standard Model’ Qin project."
Lin Xiaohan, almost believing, feeling bewildered:
"Is it really an investment? Not an illicit teacher-student or sibling romance?"
Lin Yunqing sneered smugly:
"Brother, you’re outdated. I follow the big female lead Feng Aotian script, pursuing solo beauty and self-confidence, no random romantic entanglements.
You don’t manage finances, they don’t manage you! Seizing economic independence and financial freedom. Brother, care to join?"
Lin Xiaohan turned, looking at the clean, delicate-featured yet otherwise plain Qin Shi, shaking his head:
"My wife handles our money, no spare funds for your boyfriend’s investment.
You’ve hoarded a lot over the years, several million at least.
How do you plan to spend it on a senior student with less than twenty Life Force points?"
Lin Yunqing raised her chin, proudly:
"Incorrect, it’s not enough! Creating a ’Basic Meditation Room’ for Spiritual Cultivation alone costs eighteen million!
I also bought several Energy Liquid bottles from United Pharmaceutical, and the top-tier Seven-leaf Garuda Tree Seedling!"
Sis, are you nurturing a Martial God?
Lin Xiaohan gaped, even with profound Qi Cultivation Skill, still shocked by Lin Yunqing’s lavish spending.
"Are you mad? Going all-in gambling your assets?"
Lin Yunqing roared with laughter:
"Brother, if you could spend thirty million training a young He Lanchan, would you think it’s a loss or gain?"
Lin Xiaohan sighed:
"After the first ten stars, each year’s Star Cup preliminaries proclaim a ’He Lanchan the Second.’ None succeeded.
Why not a ’Little Qi Wuxiang?’ Because Qi Wuxiang lives, He Lanchan passed."
Unity of Spirit and Body is rare but not necessarily the path to success.
Lin Yunqing, fiercely determined:
"I want to try. Even if I fail, I’ll let mom and dad arrange a match. Find me a likable Imperial Capital young master, take his millions in dowry.
As dad says, there’s neither perpetual sadness nor unending losses! At worst, still better than Yu Li’s pretentiousness?"
