Chapter 21: A Strange Fist

The bedroom door opened with a ‘Pak!’.

Luqiu Duanyi walked inside. She wore boxing gloves on both her hands, and there were two more sandwiched between her armpits. She looked at Yue Qiang and threw the boxing gloves right in front of him.

Yue Qiang was obviously still suffering from deep shock. He stared straight at Luqiu Duanyi and the focus in his eyes did not change whatsoever.

The two boxing gloves were thrown in front of his body before falling to the ground.

There were two m.u.f.fled noises ‘Pak!’.

Suddenly, he asked loudly towards Luqiu Duanyi, “Do you like me?”

Luqiu Duanyi did not say anything. She walked up and punched him right away.

It was a very heavy punch.

Yue Qiang’s body twisted and was thrown back far, far away. But when he stood up once more, he had recovered himself a little.

He rubbed his temples hard and forced himself to calm down. It was almost a certain fact that there was definitely something wrong Rao Xiao Ting; it was just that he still could not completely confirm that she had completely turned into an NPC. For now, he did not notice anything akin to that even crazier notion that he had imagined in his mind.

Luqiu Duanyi’s heavy punch was a most definitive proof.

At the very least, this voluptuous female fitness coach before him was definitely a real person.

Luqiu Duanyi’s expression was very serious. She said, “Pick up that boxing gloves from the ground and follow me.”

Yue Qiang followed her wordlessly; walking out of the bedroom and arriving at the study; then walked out of the study and arrived at an incredibly luxurious training room. Three days ago, Yue Qiang had only used the treadmill, and the training was all done inside the study. This was the first time he had seen that there were other training rooms inside this fitness club.

Its style was just as luxurious.

Luqiu Duanyi held the door open for him, and when Yue Qiang had walked inside she then closed the door and locked it carefully.

Now the two of them were the only ones left in this huge and luxurious house.

“Pay close attention to what I’m about to say next.” She said her opening speech, “Your time is very short, and that is why you must use every moment you have left to increase your abilities. Only by increasing your own strength, will you be able to understand everything and come to a solution.”

Looking into Yue Qiang’s eyes while saying the above words, Luqiu Duanyi repeated the last sentence again with great emphasis on every word, “Only by increasing your own strength, will you be able to understand everything and come to a solution!”

She waited for a moment until she confirmed that Yue Qiang had completely remembered these words. Only then she continued, “If you have no other questions, then we will begin the next stage of training.”

“There is one last question.” Yue Qiang pressed his lips, and the words leaped out from between his teeth, “What happens… after death?”

These four words were incredibly abrupt, and if it was any other ordinary person they might not have understood at all. But the woman had without a doubt understood his meaning. Her answer was also four words,

“You must not die.”

Yue Qiang had also understood. He picked up the boxing gloves from the floor, wore it carefully onto his hands and said, “Let us begin the training then.”

He quietly a.s.sumed a pose and watched the woman standing not too far away.

At this point, he had basically put his trust in her. First, she was definitely not one to be seduced by his so-called 16 points of Charisma. Next, she probably did not plan to hurt him, because with her help his const.i.tution had been enhanced in all aspects. Finally; also the most crucial point of the matter, was that, to this moment, she had not said any term that was even remotely related to the ‘Game’, yet she had continuously hinted at Yue Qiang through all kinds of ways about something. Even when Yue Qiang had asked the question, ‘What happens after death’ which was obviously referring towards the game, she had also provided a slightly clearer answer.

Yue Qiang speculated that she might be suffering from some kind of limitation that prevented her from saying any Chinese words (T/N: This may be confusing but just a.s.sume that the ‘Chinese’ part doesn’t exist. I’m keeping it in the translation because that is what was written by the author) relating to the ‘Game’. However, she herself had wished that he could unravel the truth on the entire matter as soon as possible.

Therefore, Yue Qiang believed that the sentence that could make her repeat twice – to increase his own strength, must be a matter of critical importance. Not to mention that he had come to the fitness club to increase his strength in the first place.
