Alone and Infinite

A crosshair immediately appeared on the screen, locking onto Yan Ya.

[Carbon-based life form - Earthling, combat power: 2]

Huh? Old Yan's combat power is only 2? If that's the case, then the combat power of an Earthling with a gun is 5, so the gun's combat power is 3?

He then looked at Yan Yi.

[Carbon-based life form - Earthling, combat power: 1.5]

Chapter 22 Training

He's 0.5 points behind his dad, which must be due to the gender difference?

Li Xia took off her glasses and put them into her spatial storage. The thing was quite bulky and rather eye-catching when worn.

Looking at the situation inside the store, Old Liu felt as if his bones had been removed, and collapsed to the ground without saying a word, only sobbing.

Yan Ya was frantically making phone calls, probably trying to get his money back, since banks now freeze large transfers.

It shouldn't be too difficult. Yan Yi just went through this incident and probably had an adrenaline rush. He's currently lying in his office chair, trying to come to his senses.

A shadow of gloom crossed Li Xia's mind.

By tracking their location at any time through surveillance footage, they could pinpoint the Hpakant mining operation behind Lao Liu within the 20 minutes between Lao Liu's arrival and the transfer of funds.

And he would pull strings to get him to kill him.

To be able to do something like this, especially domestically, requires an incredibly powerful force.

Thank goodness this is in China; if it were abroad, Li Xia would suspect that what appeared in front of him might be armored vehicles and helicopters!

For now, I can't confront them head-on. I should focus on dodging and waiting to become stronger. Time is on my side!

Thinking of this, Li Xia stood up and said, "Boss Yan, I'll be going now. Give me a call if you want to continue tonight."

Yan Ya was busy freezing the money she had just transferred out. Luckily, the money was recovered within the half-hour freeze period.

In high spirits, he put down his phone: "Okay, let's continue tonight. Thanks a lot this time, bro. I'll bring you 500,000 yuan in cash tonight. Tea fee is waived!"

"Not bad, he's a discerning person." Li Xia nodded to Yan Ya, then picked up his suitcase and made his escape.

As he passed by Lao Liu, he kicked him squarely, sending him flying a great distance.

Although it's unclear how Yan Ya will handle this, it seems she's determined not to let him off easily.

Emerging from the alley, one arrives at the bustling Xinjiekou. Checking the time, it's still early before evening, so Li Xia decides to find a private cinema.

He wanted to book a room, but hesitated when he thought about having to provide his ID.

Many of these networks are internal networks, and the difficulty in intruding lies mainly in how to access these internal networks.

For many important internal networks, once an unauthorized external connection is made, it will almost instantly be locked by headquarters.

Scott is, after all, just a combat support system; it is not a highly intelligent digital life form.

When the receptionist at the private cinema registered Li Xia, he asked her rather ambiguously if she wanted to book a "watching companion" service.

The price is not cheap; a movie ticket costs 388.

Hilarious! Li Xia wouldn't order that. What kind of price range does she dare to charge 388?

In the dimly lit room, the faint light from the projector reflected on my face, creating a somewhat bizarre and surreal effect.

He randomly picked a movie to play and pulled the detector out of his pocket.

I didn't realize it when I first got it, but now that I see it, it's definitely very eye-catching.

The key is that it is too famous, so famous that its reputation as a "weakling" is known in most parts of the world.

A thought flashed through Li Xia's mind, and he posed a question to the hall:

"Can equipment be hidden in the hall?"

[Your Majesty, equipment cannot be hidden, but the transmogrification function can be enabled.]

Transformation function? Sure!

According to the basic rules, equipment can only be transmogrified into similar types. Please choose one from the following transmogrification options.

Eye mask

[Monocular night vision device]

Monocular Microscope

Monocular lens

Li Xia looked through the many illusions, some of which were extremely chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), such as the eye patch, which looked exactly like the Evil King's True Eye.

They can be extremely extravagant, such as monocular night vision devices and microscopes.

In the end, only the monocle was the simplest option. Oh well, a monocle it is.

Cosplaying as Amon is better than cosplaying as the Evil King's True Eye.

After selecting the transformation, the Scott I in my hand immediately emitted a hazy white light. When the light dissipated, a monocle lay quietly in my palm.

The glasses were exquisite, with a half-bridge and a thin gold chain hanging down from the frame like a golden thread.

In short, it perfectly matches the temperament of the 'First Generation' and 'Prince Xia'. I took Scott with me and found a mirror to look at myself.

Hmm. Very cool.

Lying on the soft sofa, my thoughts naturally began to wander.

Several basic attributes in the plan have been outlined, and all that remains is to develop skills such as shooting.

As for shooting, well, the sports training centers do have some, but they only have air rifles. As for shooting ranges, forget about them.

With .22 caliber bullets and tightly bound iron chains, Li Xia felt it wouldn't be of any use for practicing shooting skills.

He plans to practice this skill in Russia in the last few days, where everything is available and it's a great place to do so.

That leaves us with the last item.

Connect Scott to the projector and magnify the image onto the entire screen, then Li Xia begins searching for information about martial arts.

I first searched for "Kung Fu" on Douyin, but the results were fast food.

Li Xia:

After searching for a while, the results were either advertisements for courses or kung fu stars; in short, anything that was somewhat useful was at least somewhat useful.

Among them, the Taoist priests from Wudang appeared quite frequently, and after hesitating for a while, I added him to the shortlist.

After scrolling for an unknown amount of time, Li Xia's eyes lit up. He watched the video repeatedly, and it seemed... there was something genuine about it?

"Please help me find Qi Guanjun's contact information and address."

After a while, Li Xia frowned: "Hong Kong?"

This is troublesome. If I go to Hong Kong, I will have to make significant changes to my plans. I had originally intended to spend money to learn the skills.

Qi Guanjun was already a well-known martial arts actor, and now he has achieved some success in his career. The three million he has may not be enough.

However, Hong Kong is a financial center. I wonder if it's possible to get some money out of the banking system there through Scott?

I'm afraid we'll need to find someone who is very familiar with banking procedures.

The movie time passed quickly, and I received an invitation from Yan Ya on my phone, along with the restaurant's address and private room number.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Xia tidied up and prepared to attend the banquet. Whether it would be successful depended on the training results!

The restaurant didn't look particularly upscale, but it was quite popular, so the food must have been good. Sometimes, unless it's for business banquets, it's a place to show respect.

Most people prefer to eat at familiar restaurants with good food.

Li Xia pushed open the door to the private room, where Boss Yan and his daughter were already waiting. Several men in sportswear were also sitting at a small square table playing cards.

"Oh, Brother Li has arrived?"

Boss Yan seemed to be having a bad run of luck. He immediately gathered up his cards, stood up, and greeted the players:

"The main character has arrived, let's have some fun!"

Li Xia waved his hand, knowing that with his luck value of 0, he should stay away from such activities to avoid being unhappy.

So I sat quietly to the side and watched them play.

After much anticipation, the dinner party finally arrived. Everyone introduced themselves to each other. The three coaches were Coach Wang, who was in sprinting; Coach Fang, who was in free fighting; and Coach Song, who was in weightlifting.

Since they were all men, they became quite familiar with each other after a few drinks, because Boss Yan had a good relationship with the three of them, and people in the sports world often have a sense of brotherhood.

With the fees being generous, the three coaches confidently assured that they would dedicate themselves to training Brother Li well for the next month.

Furthermore, the provincial sports training center found Li Xia a dormitory right away, so that he could start training as soon as he opened his eyes!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has come to an end.

After packing up, Li Xia set up a table to thank the three coaches, because they had indeed done their best.

Putting aside everything else, the physical therapists at the sports training center are very familiar with the place.

After everyone left, tipsy, Li Xia felt a little reluctant to leave the sports team's dormitory.

The feeling of not having to think about anything and focusing solely on training is truly wonderful.

But this subtle emotion was quickly overshadowed by the joy of the attribute boost.

Li Xia looked excited and opened his personal panel. Now it was time to take stock of his gains!

Chapter 23 A Huge Boost!

Name: Li Xia

[Number: 1]

[Level: First Generation]

[Rank of Merit: Prince]

[Physical Strength Assessment: 1 (First-order carbon-based organism)]

Strength: 6 (Increasing this attribute will increase Strength)

[Agility: 6 (Increasing this attribute improves attack speed and reaction speed)]

Intelligence: 6 (Increasing this attribute improves spell model construction and complex fuzzy logic capabilities)

[Spirit: 6 (Increasing this attribute raises the maximum Spirit Power and reduces the cost of casting abilities)]

[Physique: 6 (Increasing this attribute improves healing ability, cardiopulmonary function, and other endurance-related aspects)]

[Luck: 0 (Increasing/decreasing this attribute can increase the probability of low-probability events occurring and make the results tend to have a positive/negative impact)]

[Skills: Sun Breathing LV5 (Mastery: 6%), Basic Combat LV1 (Beginner: 70%)]

[Equipment: Scott I Combat Support System (Blue)]

Personal storage space: 100 cubic meters — ? ? (depending on the extent of the hall's restoration)

[Talent Ability: A Blessing in Disaster (Fate-Level)]

Current attribute points: 6

Compared to before, Strength has increased by 2 points, Dexterity by 1 point, Spirit by 1 point, and Physique by 1 point.

The total increase of 5 attribute points is roughly equivalent to the attribute points Li Xia gained from fighting through an entire trial dungeon!

That's the power of a low starting point!

Making some effort is progress; putting in serious and dedicated effort is huge progress!

Logically speaking, Li Xia's progress in this month of training shouldn't be that significant; an improvement of 2 points would only be possible if his physical condition was relatively average before.

However, adding breathing techniques changes everything. Without engaging in full-body breathing or concentration, effectively integrating breathing techniques into daily breathing is equivalent to combining highly efficient aerobic exercise with anaerobic exercise.
