Chapter 5 (1/2)

Of course he did not understand, the whole reason he bought these books in the first place was to study them. There would be no one to cook for him in the apocalypse, so learning to cook was a must, not only so that he can feed himself, but so that he can also feed Xiao Sa, too.

Besides, he would like to read medical books a more often. Relying on a good psychic power, memory boost, he intended to systematically read a round of Chinese medicine, even if he could not comprehend it. The most important thing was to understand the bodily context of operation and the whole body's energy points.

He also intended to go to Huangshan. Although the researchers had taught him a set of internal forces, he was too ignorant. Anyways, he did not want to stay at home. He remembered there was an old couple in Huangshan who were very famous at eschatology and fortunetelling. It was unfortunate that their hearts were too soft; the old couple had a tragic death, but their son lived well during the end of the world. It was rumored that he set up his own team.

His trip to Huangshan was to look for the couple and consult them on the issue of ancient kung-fu. Studying the medical book was also for sake of laying down the first foundation. If he did not know even a little bit, not to mention others, he himself would be very ashamed and embara.s.sed.

As for those fantasy novels, once Bai Jing thought of this, his mouth could not help but twitch. These fantasy novels were great, just showing that the imagination had such a huge capacity for improvement. At a time when spatial powers could be very different, the first one to use dimension-edge was a fantasy novels lover whom could be described as an airheaded bimbo. With the spatial ability, she fantasized being invincible, with handsome men chasing after her. The truth be told, being the world's most invincible and having a reverse harem of handsome men did not happen, though she invented the skills.

So Bai Jing felt that in this life, it was necessary to read some fantasy novels, especially novels delving into the world of magic.

And he would like to make a plan in the long-term. He remembered that upon his death, the apocalypse notwithstanding, those researchers scheduled his experiments non-stop because of his hidden dimension caused by his mutation. w.a.n.g Dahu spilled everything such that he could not hide anything. He was only glad that he still knew between good and bad and did not tell the entire truth to the boss. Otherwise, the people of the Inst.i.tute would totally take him apart.

w.a.n.g Dahu was the boss, and he was originally a rural farming who developed an ability then gathered a group of people in the village. That gradually developed into a medium-sized team.

Bai Jing does not fear anything else but he was afraid of going back to his days as a captive. In time, these books will all become precious cultural resources of the country, not to mention, Bai Jing's heart was bitter. No matter how much material he prepared, there will always be a day when he depletes it all. Putting these books there, perhaps they will be useful someday. In short, better be prepared, or else. They didn't occupy too much s.p.a.ce anyways.

Having someone directly deliver the books to the hotel, Bai Jing looked at the time. It was already four o’clock in the afternoon. Back on the road, Bai Jing kept silent for a while, looking at the person concentrating on driving in the front seat: “What are you going to do in the future?

w.a.n.g Xuebing grinned, too stunned for a moment to react over the fact that the young master was talking to him: “To protect the young master, obviously. And then, live with the one I love together.”

“You have someone you like?” He had not heard of this before.

w.a.n.g Xuebing face blushed, and he nodded his head. He must be remembering his lover, for his whole expression had softened.

Bai Jing stayed silent for a bit. He did not ask any more since he never heard this in his previous life. When it came time to escape, and he did not see that woman either, he lost interest in other people's affairs. Instead, he asked: “I asked about what you intended to do. You cannot protect me all my life. By the way, how are your parents?”

“My parents died a long time ago, so my uncle raised me. This job to protect the young master is great. Easy work, high salary, I can save money to buy a house.”

“You're honest.” Bai Jing gave him a supercilious look and found he couldn't see where they were going. Then, he said: “Do you want to learn mechanics and motor vehicle customization?”

w.a.n.g Xuebing was surprised. The young master wanted to chat with him? Before, he felt something strange about the young master, and now, this was even more strange. In the old times, young master wouldn't talk to the bodyguards. With his thoughts churning, he shook his head: “I still want to make money quickly. I can modify a car. I was poor when as a child, so I worked as child labor at a repair shop. Modified cars cost too much, and being a mechanic in a shop doesn't earn as much money as being a bodyguard.”

“Do you know anything else besides money?” Bai Jing's heart stopped. Turning to ignore him, his good intentions became donkey liver and lungs. Money this, money that, once the apocalypse starts, money becomes wastepaper. His desire for money was for naught.

“Oh, you rich people, of course you don't know. I've wanted to earn more money since I was young, then grow old with my lover, together.”

This is the first time that Bai Jing had discovered that this guy's head is only filled with thoughts of money. However, since w.a.n.g Xuebing can modify cars and speak so boldly…in the apocalypse half a barrel of water can also count as talent. w.a.n.g Xuebing's manners alone should be good.

Back at the hotel, the book had not yet been sent over, so Bai Jing turned on the TV and idlly switched channels, listening to various reports on television, watching where his father was meeting. Bai Jing's mind was cranky but then his cellphone rang. Casually bowing his head to take a look, he saw it was a call from Nanny Chen.

”h.e.l.lo!”

“Young master, you finally answered the phone. What happened these past few days. Not even leaving a message, the old master called me several times.”

”Chasing girls!”

“Oh, oh, because of a girl, ah, chasing girls…that won't do, Tingting is a good girl, you cannot make the wrong choice.”

“I know, is there anything else?”

“When will you return? I'll let the kitchen prepare your favorites. Really, how can you not say a word when going out. w.a.n.g Xuebing is not sensible. And his job it to protect the young master, how can he act on his own…”

“If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. Tomorrow I am going to go travel, but tonight I will be back.”

“What? Travel? Why didn't you say so earlier, I'll have someone prepare for you.”

“I told my father.”

“Then…ah, this time you have to have more people…”

“No, taking just w.a.n.g Xuebing is fine. I quite like him, and it's uncomfortable with a lot of people.”
