Yang Xiu turned around and unexpectedly found another person holding two bowls and pouring porridge like Lu Yu.

He walked over and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I saw that the others had taken the bowls and there were still some left. I took them over to use them. This way, the porridge will cool down faster…”

Before he could finish, Yang Xiu used the scabbard to slap his hand. The bowl in his hand fell to the ground and all the porridge spilled on the ground. The two bowls also shattered.

The man sat on the ground with a dumbfounded look. He looked at Yang Xiu in a daze, as if he was asking, “Why did you hit me while you praise him? We’re both using two bowls, why do I have different treatment?”

Yang Xiu said expressionlessly, “Privileges are only given to the strong. The weak are only allowed to follow the rules. I said take one bowl, and you should only take one!”

“You’re not allowed to eat.”

After saying this, Yang Xiu turned around and left.

That person sat on the ground and stared blankly at Yang Xiu. He did not move until everyone was almost done eating. Only then did he regain his senses due to the hunger in his stomach. He looked at the cold porridge and the broken bowl on the ground.

He looked at Lu Yu, who had picked up the third bowl of porridge. Without a bowl, he grabbed the cold porridge on the ground and ate it. The porridge was covered in dust, but he still put it in his mouth. His hands were clenched tightly on the ground and his heart was filled with frustration.

He looked at Lu Yu with hatred in his eyes and thought, “I want to become stronger! I must become stronger! I want to make all of you kneel in front of me. Eat, no matter how bad it tastes, I must eat it. I have to become stronger!”

Noticing that the person who was eating the porridge on the ground was looking at him strangely, Lu Yu was a little speechless and thought, “You imitated me and got into trouble, but why are you blaming me, it’s not my fault!”

However, this game was very realistic. An ordinary NPC could actually have such rich emotions. Lu Yu was impressed.

After eating, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. They were all exhausted from practicing the fist technique. They were even more sleepy after their stomachs were full, and they fell asleep right away.

Lu Yu took the opportunity to log out of the game. After eating lunch, he looked at the messages on his phone. After resting for a while, he felt that it was about time to enter the game again.

Not long after he entered the game, he heard a gong. After everyone was woken up, they were chased out of the room.

“This is the last time I’ll chase you out. Next time when you hear a gong, gather at the martial arts practice field. If you’re not on time, there will be no food for you! If you’re late for many times, you’ll be kicked out of the Han family. The Han family doesn’t want lazy people!”

Everyone gathered at the martial arts practice field. The sun was high in the sky, and the temperature was high, which made them look listless and lazy.

Yang Xiu did not seem to be affected by the temperature at all. He walked in front of everyone and said loudly, “This afternoon, you’ll continue to practice the Fierce Tiger Fist.”

“After dinner, everyone will go to the logistics department to get two sets of new clothes. Then, go to the bathroom and wash yourself before returning to your rooms.”

“Let me remind all of you that there are forty-three of you now, and less than one-third of you will be able to become official courtyard guard. If you don’t break through to the first level of the body refining realm within a month, you will either be chased out of the Han family, or you will become a lowly servant.”

“Therefore, your future will be decided within this one month. You will either become a martial art cultivator, become the courtyard guard of the Han family, and live a life of eating fish and meat. If you’re unable to do so, you’ll become a servant and live a poor life.”

“Your future is now in your own hands!”

When everyone heard this, they did not dare to slack off and began to practice the Fierce Tiger Fist Style. This time, it was not Yang Xiu who corrected everyone’s postures and movements, but a few official courtyard guards.

However, they were even more ruthless than Yang Xiu when it came to punishing. As the only person who had not been beaten up, Lu Yu could clearly feel the envy (jealousy) in the eyes of the others.

The courtyard guards were also amazed by Lu Yu. They did not have the chance to hit Lu Yu because his movements were more proper than their own.

Lu Yu had no choice. He was talented and intelligent, that was why he could learn anything fast!

Lu Yu was okay of gaining experience points through AFK mode. After all, he was a player!

Time passed very quickly, especially when he was AFK.

AFK was not boring, because every time he practiced under AFK mode, the feeling and experience points would be transferred to Lu Yu’s brain. He didn’t need to control his body under AFK mode, but it did not mean that he did not really do anything.

When the afternoon cultivation time ended, Lu Yu gained 30 experience points. Very soon, his skills could be upgraded again.

According to this trend, he could break through the first level of Fierce Tiger Fist by tomorrow. In the afternoon, Lu Yu also discovered that after a long period of cultivation (AFK), his qi-blood had increased by 1 point.

Now, his character’s qi-blood had increased from 9 to 10. He did not feel any obvious changes and there was no one for him to compare. He still did not know what the use of this qi-blood was.

After eating, he received new clothes that fit him. He changed into new clothes after shower and returned to the straw shed. He lay on the bed to sleep and went offline.

Lu Yu did not know if it was because he had eaten dinner in the game, he actually felt a little full in real life. However, he still ate something to fill his stomach to prevent himself from waking up from hunger in the middle of the night.

After taking a shower and going to bed, he saw the helmet on the bedside table. Lu Yu suddenly thought, “Can I sleep in the game? Why not… Give It a try? ”

He lay down, covered himself with the quilt, put on the game helmet, and entered the game.
