Port District.
Alley entrance.
Old Ji’s Home Cooking.
This restaurant is the same one Chen Sheng and others often order from for takeout.
There is no menu, only the fresh ingredients the boss buys every day from the vegetable market for customers to order from.
Because the alley is in a remote location, most of the time, there are no guests in the restaurant.
There are only two tables haphazardly placed inside the store.
The boss mainly relies on takeout orders from the surrounding neighbors to make money.
But today.
In the deserted store, there was a young man dressed in casual clothes.
He has an ordinary appearance, hard to find if thrown into a crowd.
He ordered only a bowl of noodles.
Then, he sat down next to the table and took out his camera.
“Boss, I came here to travel in Quanjiang.”
“A friend told me that the dishes here taste great, so I wanted to give it a try.”
“But this place is really hard to find, I navigated for a long time and finally found it by asking for directions.”
As the young man fiddled with his phone, he chatted casually with the boss lady at the counter.
After obtaining the boss lady’s permission, he began to take pictures with his camera.
When the boss brought the noodles to the table, the young man took pictures from different angles for several minutes, only stopping when the boss lady reminded him that the noodles would stick together. Then he sat down and started eating.
He looked like a genuine tourist from another place.
“Boss lady, your cooking is so good, why don’t you try…?
After just one bite, the tourist’s eyes widened in an instant.
It seemed that he was shocked by the deliciousness of the noodles.
Strangely enough, it’s rare to see guests in the store for a whole week.
But today, two came one after the other.
Before the young tourist could finish speaking, a young man in a black hooded sweatshirt entered the store.
It was Chen Sheng.
“Boss, prepare some dishes for me.”
“I’ll come and get them later.”
Chen Sheng handed two hundred yuan in cash directly to the boss lady.
“You must be Old Zhou’s relative, I’ve only heard your voice before. I didn’t expect you to be so handsome.”
The boss lady playfully patted Chen Sheng’s chest.
Her hand felt as if it had touched steel, causing her palm to ache a little.
But the boss lady didn’t seem to mind.
“I didn’t expect you to work out, young man.”
With that, she was about to reach out her hand again.
“Ahem.”
“Boss lady, why don’t you go to the kitchen and tell the boss first?” Fortunately, Chen Sheng quickly stepped back, avoiding her groping hand.
“Alright.”
Withdrawing the cash from Chen Sheng’s hand, the boss lady twisted her wide body and slowly walked towards the back door.
Inside the store, there were only two people left.
The tourist looked at Chen Sheng and nodded with a polite smile.
Immediately, he saw Chen Sheng walk straight to him, pulled up a chair, and sat down.
Very close.
Facing Chen Sheng’s strange behavior, the man eating the noodles hesitated for a moment.
But he didn’t explode, just moved his chair a little further away from Chen Sheng. But the next second,
Whoosh!
A sturdy arm turned into a black thread, and before the man could react, it grabbed him by the neck.
Looking at the calm Chen Sheng, the man’s eyes widened in an instant, completely unsure of where he had exposed himself.
He tried to struggle, but Chen Sheng’s arm was as solid as steel, unmoved by his efforts.
Following that, with Chen Sheng’s palm slightly tightening, there was a crisp crack.
The man’s arm went limp at his side.
The light in his eyes faded at a visible speed.
Without any delay,
Chen Sheng held the man’s head and quickly walked out of Old Ji’s Home Cooking.
Two minutes later,
“Huh, where’s the person?”
The boss lady came out of the kitchen, only to find that the two had disappeared.
All that was left on the table was the barely eaten noodles.
Five minutes later.
Port District, Wastewater Discharge Area.
Splash–
Three corpses tied together with ropes and weighted down with stones were casually thrown into the river by Chen Sheng.
After doing all this.
Chen Sheng took out his phone, seemingly sending a text message to someone.
Drip-drop.
As raindrops hit the phone screen.
Chen Sheng looked up.
On the way here, the sun overhead had already been obscured by dark clouds.
It’s about to rain.
“Inhale—”
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
In this kind of environment, he could feel his body seemingly full of strength.
He called up the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 77] [Agility: 76]
[Constitution: 82]
Chen Sheng’s eyes widened slightly.
He was surprised to find that his attributes had increased slightly.
And moreover,
With the raindrops overhead becoming denser.
His attributes were still rising.
“Is this… Profound and True Martial Arts?”
Just because of a little rain.
His attributes had increased by nearly five points across the board.
What if it was a downpour or if he was in water?
What would be the effects when he upgraded to the second layer?
Thinking about it.
Chen Sheng clenched his fists.
Feeling the increasingly abundant power within his body, his confidence in dealing with the two people from Kongming Boxing Club deepened by a point.
There was no time to waste.
Chen Sheng immediately took out the water bottle hanging from his waist and drank all the Spirit Medicine Soup inside.
The rain grew denser.
The droplets of water that landed on Chen Sheng’s body did not bring him any discomfort.
On the contrary, it made his body’s condition unprecedentedly good.
Chen Sheng quickly lay down on the ground.
In no time.
Waves of heartbeats like the pounding of heavy drums echoed, perfectly blending into the sound of the rain falling.
One hour’s time passed in an instant.
During this time, the rain showed no signs of stopping, but rather grew heavier.
“Huff–
Still maintaining the posture for training the Profound and True Martial Arts, Chen Sheng pulled up the panel.
[Skill Points: 102]
He didn’t know if it was because of being in the heavy rain.
But this time, Chen Sheng’s training results far surpassed the previous ones.
In just one hour, his skill points had increased enough to upgrade the Profound and True Martial Arts.
Just in time,
Half of the medicine’s effect remained in his body, unconverted.
Without any hesitation,
Chen Sheng focused his gaze on the Profound and True Martial Arts skill.
Upgrade!
As soon as his thoughts moved, His skill points began to drop rapidly.
[Skill Points: 2]
[Profound and True Martial Arts LV2: 0/200000]
Boom!
This time,
Unlike the calmness during the last upgrade,
The moment the text on the panel solidified,
An intense pain swept through Chen Sheng’s mind.
Thump!
Chen Sheng’s vision went black.
His body hit the ground, not moving at all.
The heavy rain poured down.
Trying to bury Chen Sheng’s body in the curtain of rain.
As time gradually moved forward,
Chen Sheng’s body seemed to be undergoing wondrous changes.
Deep blue turtle shell patterns on his skin surface lit up and vanished in a peculiar rhythm.
In the dim rain curtain, it was particularly eye-catching.
Whoosh-Whoosh- –
From the surroundings, the river’s surface, which had been relatively calm, was now making continuous sounds like sea waves washing over it.
It was as if the river was hiding an undercurrent.
And the frequency of this sea wave sound coincided with the frequency of the turtle shell patterns lighting up on Chen Sheng’s body..</p
