When you do everything to the extreme

Chapter 1. If you want to learn knowledge, you have to go to Bilibili.

"Classmate, do you want to learn martial arts?"

"What kind of martial arts? Can you fight?"

"Xingyi, Tai Chi, Bagua, the three major internal martial arts, I can teach them all. If you want to learn leg techniques, I also have some experience with spring kicks. If you want to learn weapons, swords, spears, swords, and halberds, I also know a few..."

"Can I fight?"

"Haha, classmate, the main purpose of our martial arts training is to strengthen our bodies. Now we live in a society ruled by law, and it's easy to make mistakes if you are too competitive."

"So we can't fight?"

"Student, whether you can fight or not depends mainly on your own understanding. I can't guarantee you anything."

"Tsk, you're just trying to trick people. You're not that old, how could you possibly have so many things? You're obviously a liar."

"Classmate, this is a family tradition. I've been practicing it since I was a kid, so I know a little bit about everything. Don't worry, I'll teach you until you master it..."

"I have no money, not even enough to live on."

"It's okay. If you don't have money, you can try a class first. It's free..."

"I don't have time. I have to accompany my girlfriend..."

"Classmate, do you have a girlfriend?"

"roll……"

……

Wang Xiao watched the young man with clear and doubtful eyes walk into the school gate. He looked a little helpless, but then he perked up and looked at the next student who was walking towards him.

This time it was a girl, and Wang Xiao quickly smiled: "Classmate, do you want to learn self-defense? You are so pretty, you must protect yourself when you go out."

The tall girl in JK black stockings raised her leg high and said proudly, "I have learned Taekwondo. Do you think I still need self-defense?"

Wang Xiao: "Classmate, Taekwondo is good for showing off your poses, but it's not very good for self-defense..."

Girl: "What position do you mean?"

Wang Xiao: "Um...that is..."

The girl blushed and glared at Wang Xiao: "You hooligan!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly into the campus.

Wang Xiao touched his head and said, "What posture? Classmate, it's always good to have many skills. Learning more can give you more advantages in finding a job!"

The girl turned around, glared at Wang Xiao, and yelled, "Get lost!"

Wang Xiao stopped talking and watched him walk into the campus. There was still some confusion on his face, not knowing what he had said wrong.

I looked at the time and it was already lunch time. I didn’t achieve anything in the morning.

Wang Xiao put all his flyers into his bag and walked to the entrance of a nearby construction site. There was a row of stalls selling boxed lunches, which were already full.

The cheap lunch boxes that were originally intended for construction workers have now been completely occupied by the college students nearby.

You say the thirty-yuan lunch box from a roadside stall is unhygienic, but you have no choice but to say the ten-yuan meat and vegetable lunch box is delicious.

The working hours at the construction site are fixed...

However, many college students can be said to be unemployed vagrants who have gone crazy with idleness. They come out to eat early and directly occupy these roadside stalls, leaving the construction workers who just come out after get off work to stand on the road in a daze and watch these college students stealing their food.

The foreman thought about some recent college graduates who had come to the construction site to look for jobs recently, and his eyes suddenly felt a little aggrieved!

"It's bad enough that you're here to steal our jobs, but now you're trying to steal the rice in our bowls..."

The foreman waved his hand and led a dozen workers to line up behind a group of college students, waiting to buy meals.

Wang Xiao also lined up behind this group of workers. He stretched his head to look at the food on the stall in front, wondering if there would be anything left to eat when it was his turn.

"Hey, my stupid old man, how's the battle going today?"

Suddenly, a girl in school uniform jumped out from the side and tried to scare Wang Xiao. She smiled and asked Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao glanced at the girl who attracted the attention of most of the boys around him and said disdainfully, "Go and take a seat."

Wang Yu didn't care about his brother Wang Xiao's disdain. He trotted to the bottom of the shed and took a look. Seeing that there was no empty seat, he smiled sweetly at the two boys and said, "Classmate, can you please give up the seat next to you?"

The two boys glanced at Wang Yu and felt as if they were seeing white moonlight. They blushed and quickly moved to make room for the other two. Wang Yu smiled at them again and said, "Thank you, classmates!"

The two of them secretly glanced at Wang Yu and found that Wang Yu was looking at Wang Xiao who was getting his meal over there. Suddenly, they felt that the ten-yuan twice-cooked pork with rice in their hand was not so delicious.

After a while, Wang Xiao came over with two lunch boxes. He placed one in front of Wang Yu, which was full of meat, while his own was a combination of meat and vegetables.

Wang Yu started to give all the fat in his meal to Wang Xiao: "I don't eat fat!"

Wang Xiao took the fat back again and said, "You're too thin. Eat more meat and gain some weight. I can easily push you down with your weight."

Wang Yu stopped taking the fat back. She knew she couldn't persuade her brother, but she could choose not to eat it. In the end, she said she was full. Her brother didn't want to waste food, so he ate the rest of the fat.

She has used this trick many times and it has always worked for her for several years.

Wang Xiao started eating, took out his mobile phone, opened Bilibili, and entered his collection of videos, which were almost all explanation videos of various traditional martial arts.

Wang Yu took a look, ate the vegetables in his brother's bowl, and asked, "How was the battle today? Did you fool anyone?"

Wang Xiao didn't care about his sister's teasing tone and shook his head: "Not yet!"

Wang Yu: "Then our martial arts school will have no income."

Wang Xiao: "I'm trying hard!"

Wang Yu glanced at the phone page Wang Xiao was staring at, played a video, and asked curiously, "Working hard on watching videos? Learning martial arts online? What about our family tradition? Don't you want to practice it anymore?"

Wang Xiao: "Of course I have to practice what's passed down in my family. But our Liuhequan isn't famous enough, and no one else has heard of it. When I tell people to learn Liuhequan, they don't know anything about it. They only know Tai Chi, Bagua, and Xingyiquan, but they don't know that our Liuhequan is one of the traditional martial arts, the foundation and core of Xingyiquan. Bagua and Tai Chi also borrow a lot of concepts from our Liuhequan."

“So, I’ll expand my business.”

"Learn more other martial arts."

amount……

Wang Yu ate his food in small bites and asked, "Is it reliable to learn martial arts by watching videos?"

Wang Xiao smiled with a hint of pride and said, "This is the benefit of the new era of the internet. I think you're wasting your time going to university. If you really want to learn, you should go to Bilibili. You can find martial arts secrets from ancient times to the present day here. You can find everything from elementary school courses to today's cutting-edge scientific knowledge, and it's even more detailed than what your teachers teach. There's even someone here who teaches you how to make mushroom eggs by hand. As long as you have the ingredients, you can make one in minutes."

Wang Yu watched his brother glued to a video explaining Hung Gar with rapt attention, and a trace of worry crossed his mind. "Are these videos true? Don't make any mistakes when practicing. When I was little, my dad and grandpa both told me that you can't make the slightest mistake when practicing martial arts, especially with internal martial arts. A single mistake could result in hidden injuries at best, or even disability or death at worst."

Wang Xiao said seriously, "I also understand internal martial arts, so I definitely have to distinguish what they say. I can only say that they are basically correct, but not complete. They didn't mention some advanced things. I don't know if they did it on purpose or if the host didn't know. However, there are also some other things that are completely true."

"Some people actually reveal the entire core of their martial arts, both internal and external. Perhaps they themselves don't realize how precious these things are. A hundred or even several hundred years ago, these would have been the secrets of various schools, with only one or two true techniques passed down through each generation!"

"Now, it's freely circulated online and anyone can see it, but the problem is that no one likes to see it, and no one is learning it."

As Wang Xiao spoke, his face was full of regret and excitement.

He has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he would be extremely excited whenever he could learn new martial arts.

However, his innate aptitude and comprehension were limited, and it took him more than ten years of practicing his family's martial arts before he could barely reach the level of minor success. He recently watched other martial arts explanation videos just to broaden his horizons and knowledge base so that he could brag more when recruiting students. He did not have that much time and top-notch talent to study and practice so many martial arts.

It was a rare achievement for him to master his own martial arts to the highest level. Wang Xiao immediately closed the Hung Gar explanation video and started watching a video explaining the spring kick.

What he said to that boy before was not bragging.

He really has some knowledge of spring kick. This is the second time I have watched this explanation video.

He can wield swords, spears, and halberds with great vigor.

pity……

Traditional martial arts don’t have a very good reputation nowadays, so fewer people are interested in them.

To be precise, there are still many people who are interested in traditional martial arts, but the number of people who can persist in practicing is getting smaller and smaller, and it is almost impossible to find them.

Therefore, the number of views of these martial arts videos on Bilibili is not low, but the completion rate is extremely low.

Most people will click on a video of traditional martial arts out of curiosity and interest when they see it.

However, I just took a look at it, memorized a few martial arts terms, gained a little bragging experience, and then quickly closed it.

They simply couldn't watch or understand the lengthy video and detailed explanations.

If they really had the time, patience and ability to study, they might all become scientists or experts in their respective fields. How could they possibly study traditional martial arts videos that have little benefit?

People go online to relax and entertain themselves. Who would have the time to watch a teaching video that lasts dozens of minutes?

Isn’t it nice for young ladies to dress up?

Aren’t you happy just eating melons and watching the fun?

Perhaps, Wang Xiao was the only one who watched these detailed martial arts explanation videos that lasted dozens of minutes or even several hours.

"Brother...it's time to pay the rent for the martial arts gym next month."

Wang Yu said this casually while eating.

Wang Xiao, who was watching the instructional video while eating, paused for a moment and then said, "I'll find a way."

A few years ago, his parents died in a car accident, and Wang Xiao became the pillar of the family. He dropped out of school and took over the martial arts school left by his parents, while also taking care of his sister who was in school.

Over the past few years, the savings and insurance compensation left by his parents were almost spent. Most of them were used to pay the rent of the martial arts school, and a small part was given to his younger sister Wang Yu as tuition and living expenses. Wang Xiao spent very little on himself.

Now it's time to pay the rent again, and Wang Xiao feels like a hero with no power.

Wang Yu ate quietly, looking at his silent brother. Thinking of his brother's efforts and dedication over the past few years, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He whispered, "Brother, why don't we just stop running the martial arts school? When Mom and Dad were alive, the school was losing money. After Mom and Dad passed away, the losses have increased even more. People nowadays are simply not interested in traditional martial arts, and it's almost impossible to find people willing to spend money on long hours practicing boxing."

"Even I can't hold on."

Wang Yu also started practicing boxing at the age of seven or eight, but she stopped after two or three years. It was too tiring and time-consuming, and there was no effect in a short period of time. Her parents did not force her to practice, so she gave up. Now she has almost forgotten the family boxing techniques she once learned.

To open a martial arts school, one needs a large space. Rent, water and electricity are huge expenses, but the market is very limited. In addition, the Wang family's Liuhequan is not well-known, and Wang Xiao is not a famous teacher. He is just a young man in his twenties, and most people don't believe in it at all.

Over the past few years, Wang Yu clearly remembered that his brother had accepted less than ten students. Most of them left after training for ten days or half a month. A few persisted for two months, and only one persisted for more than a year and is still practicing boxing with his brother in the martial arts gym.

In other words, the martial arts school now has only one stable student, and the membership fees collected are not enough to pay the water and electricity bills.

"I'll graduate next year. Wouldn't it be nice for us to both find a job and support ourselves and live a relaxed life?"

After Wang Yu finished speaking his mind, he ate quickly, not daring to look his brother in the eye.

She knew that the biggest reason why her brother had been guarding the martial arts school was that her father's long-cherished wish was to carry forward the family martial arts.

Therefore, Wang Xiao was unwilling to close the martial arts school because he wanted to inherit his father's ambition.

If the martial arts school is closed, it will be almost impossible to fulfill my father's wish.

Wang Xiao listened to his sister's words and did not say anything to refute her. He ate his meal with big mouthfuls while continuing to watch the video.

An illusory screen suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

"Watch the video explaining the kick, and you'll get +1 kick experience!"

"Watch the video explaining the kick, and you'll get +1 kick experience!"

……

Wang Xiao's eating movements suddenly froze, and he looked carefully in front of him.

The illusory screen also disappeared, and the text message no longer appeared.

Hallucination?

Wang Xiao continued eating and watched the explanation video of Tangtui.

Then, another line of text appeared on the virtual screen.

"Watch the video explaining the kick, and gain +1 kick experience."

What is this?
Wang Xiao was puzzled, but remained expressionless. He said to his sister Wang Yu, "Don't worry about it. I'll find a way to pay the rent. If there's really no other way, I'll listen to you."

Wang Yu stopped trying to persuade her: "Okay, I'll go talk to the landlord tonight and ask him to give us a one-month extension!"

Wang Xiao, who never liked asking for help, immediately shook his head: "No, I will pay the rent on time. Besides, neither of us is so embarrassed as to ask Lao Liu to delay the rent."

Wang Yu remained silent, knowing that his brother never asked for help and had a very stubborn temper. He quickly finished his meal, leaving a few pieces of meat behind. "I'm full, I can't eat any more."

Wang Xiao didn't mind, he took his sister's lunch box and poured it into his own lunch box, then started eating.

However, the two boys next to them looked at him with envy.

Finished eating!
Wang Xiao sent his sister Wang Yu to the university gate and watched her enter the campus before turning around and leaving. He did not continue to recruit students, but instead carefully studied what appeared before him.

"Is it an illusion?"

Wang Xiao first had to confirm whether it was an illusion.

Standing on the side of the road, he took out his phone again and started watching the video explaining the spring kick.

However, the illusory message did not appear again.

Wang Xiao was puzzled—was it really an illusion just now?

Or is the triggering method wrong?
Wang Xiao put his thoughts aside and watched the video carefully again, absorbing the knowledge points with a learning and research attitude.

The next second, a line of illusory text appeared before his eyes again.

"Watch the video explaining the kick, and you'll get +1 kick experience!"

It appeared again, and Wang Xiao understood in his heart.

You have to watch carefully and study with an attitude of learning and research, and then this information screen will appear.

If you just watch it perfunctorily while thinking about other things, it won't appear.

Or, in other words, if you don’t really learn anything, you can’t increase your experience points, so it won’t appear!
So what's the use of this?

Wang Xiao was confused and expectant.
