Chapter 22: Get Practicing!

Yue Qiang had a kind of unconditional trust towards this mysterious woman, which was why he chose to practice this fist style seriously.

The other reason was that she had said this fist style could ma.s.sively increase his power.

Based on the a.s.sumption that Luqiu Duanyi could not say any term relating to the ‘Game’, Yue Qiang a.s.sumed that when she said ‘power’, she must mean ‘in-game ability’.

And to this day, there was only one thing he found that would swiftly and ma.s.sively increase an in-game character’s power, and that was skill.

He had experienced it with his own eyes, the power of a skill.

A soldier who had about the same stats as him, and an injured one no less, could easily dispatch him within a minute relying on skills alone. If it wasn’t for that misleadingly t.i.tled but actually superb ‘Run’ skill, Yue Qiang would’ve been subjected to the game’s death penalty already. Although, to this point in time, he still did not know what the death penalty was,but it was definitely something that he was unwilling to try.

That was why he had practiced the punch very seriously.

This fist style was very likely a combat type skill.

Last time, after three days of jogging, he had acquired a Run skill after returning to the game. He hoped that this time, he would be as lucky as the last time.

In Luqiu Duanyi’s hands, the set of fists would take about two seconds to complete. If it was purposely slowed down for practice purposes, then it would take about tens of seconds. The entire fist style included eight fixed movements and in-between connections.

On the surface, learning it didn’t seem like too much of a trouble.

Yue Qiang had only used less than half an hour’s time to grasp the eight fixed movements. If he were to slowly pose the eight fixed movements in order, then there would not be any problem at all. However, when he tried to execute them as fast as Luqiu Duanyi, problems arose.

He could not do it at all!

Although his every move was very practiced, and the posture he a.s.sumed was well positioned, he just could not connect them together!

The moment his punching speed increased, he would be met with all kinds of unexpected problem. He would trip, crash, feel uncomfortable all over, suffer temporary cramps…

When he tried to force it during the last attempt, he had even twisted his own knee.

…

With one hand leaning against the wall and the other on his own thigh, Yue Qiang moved with difficulty towards Luqiu Duanyi’s study. He wanted to ask for her guidance.

This mysterious woman’s study was extremely multi-functional. Not only did it have a desk for work, a treadmill for exercise, and a huge dining table for eating, it could even conjure all kinds of decor according to one’s needs by bringing up hidden furnitures through automatic control. On the first day of Yue Qiang’s arrival, Luqiu Duanyi had done just that by bringing up an extremely cool mini bar using a remote control.

Right now inside the study, there was a book placed on top of the work desk. It was the one that she often looked at. A few exquisite cuisines were placed on top of the white luxurious dining table. There was a s.p.a.ce at the center; it seemed that not all of the dishes were up yet.

Luqiu Duanyi was nowhere to be seen.

With difficulty, Yue Qiang found a place to sit. Looking at the time, it should be time for eating as stated in the work-rest schedule. He arbitrarily picked up the book on the work desk. The book was covered with a bookjacket. He wondered what’s inside it.

Before he could even flip it open, a beautiful voice came from behind him.

“It’s not a good habit to flip other people’s stuff without permission, okay?”

Yue Qiang hurriedly put down the book in his hands and turned around. He saw Luqiu Duanyi wearing an ap.r.o.n; a hanging bag hanging loosely at the waist, but it wasn’t enough to cover her amazing figure. She held a super large plate of sweet and sour fish in her hands. The colors were bright and the fragrance was overflowing.

After placing the fish about two-thirds angle on the dining table, the tableful variety of red-and-green dishes instantly became both perfect and harmonious; looking most inviting.

Luqiu Duanyi virtuously filled a bowl of rice for Yue Qiang and placed it in front of him. The she looked gently at her and let out a light smile.

Yue Qiang immediately feel weird all over.
