In the time-traveler chat group, am I the only one on Earth?

After ending his call with Huang Xu, Lu Yun first sent a message to Chu Xiaoqiao.

Chu Xiaoqiao was probably in class and didn't reply.

Lu Yun didn't wait and drove his Maserati back to Chengdu.

Since Lu Yun planned to use the Maserati for an extended period, he rented it for two months.

Sixty thousand a month, twelve hundred thousand in two months.

Lu Yun saved his current appearance for a moment, then switched back to his original appearance and parked the car back in the underground garage.

There is no limit to the number of images that can be saved using the appearance modifier, but Lu Yun has only used two so far.

The bearded middle-aged man who dealt with Shi Youcai and Gou Zhengyu was named Wang Jun, and he was a subordinate of a powerful family.

The bodybuilder who's now sleeping with Sun Yujiao is called Duan Qing; he's specifically there to disgust Li Zhihao and his son.

Lu Yun added a note to both images and received a reply from Chu Xiaoqiao.

"You want me to stay at your house during winter break??"

"Yeah, you'll be alone anyway if you go back, so you might as well not go back."

"Won't this... bother you?"

"We're already so familiar with each other, what's the big deal about bothering each other?"

"Uncle, where's Auntie?"

They don't live here.

"Oh, I see??? Okay then, as long as you don't mind how noisy I am. @Cute."

"The most beautiful girl in Rongcheng University has moved in, how could I possibly complain? I'll come pick you up the day after tomorrow at noon."

"Okay! @Grinning face."

Chu Xiaoqiao does have her own family, but it's practically the same as not having any.

Because after her father divorced Li Susu, he remarried and went abroad.

She and Li Susu depended on each other since she was a child, and she never received any love from her father, let alone had any contact with her father's relatives.

Even when I go back to my hometown, I just visit the neighbors and such.

Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for her to agree to spend the winter vacation at Lu Yun's house.

Back in his villa, Lu Yun lay on the sofa and began to read the Shaolin Dragon Claw Grappling Technique manual that Huang Xu had sent him earlier.

Most of these martial arts manuals on combat techniques are illustrated, with only a small amount of textual description.

Since the two worlds use the same language, Lu Yun learned it very quickly.

Having previously studied boxing and Sanda with Xu Bin, Lu Yun mastered all three at level 3 in just a few days.

This Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand technique is equally impressive.

In just one night, Lu Yun mastered the entire Dragon Claw Hand technique and upgraded it to level 1.

Level 1 is just an introduction; it has the form but not the essence.

This kind of traditional martial art requires more than ten or twenty years of rigorous training to kill enemies.

Not only do you need to develop thick calluses on your hands, but you also need to fight against real people.

So Lu Yun didn't hesitate and immediately used points to upgrade.

[Ding, 10 points deducted. Shaolin Dragon Claw Grappling Technique has been upgraded to LV2 (Beginner). Points required for the next level: 0/20]

[Ding, 20 points deducted. Shaolin Dragon Claw Grappling Technique has been upgraded to LV3 (Proficient). Points required for the next level: 0/30]

Congratulations! Your cultivation level has advanced to the second stage of the Acquired Realm.

[Ding, 80 points deducted. Shaolin Dragon Claw Grappling Technique has been upgraded to LV9 (Grandmaster). Points required for the next level: 0/90]

..........

[Ding, 100 points deducted. Shaolin Dragon Claw Grappling Technique MAX (Divine Skill). This skill has reached its maximum level and cannot be improved further.]

Congratulations! Your cultivation level has advanced to the third stage of the Acquired Realm.

Chapter 108 Are you Black on Earth?

Traditional martial arts are not like skills such as Taiyi Divine Needle, although they can also be used in conjunction with true qi.

But techniques are techniques, and true energy is true energy.

Just like the Dugu Nine Swords, it can be used to a masterful degree without using true qi.

Therefore, this skill can be maxed out directly.

Lu Yun's skill level is 11.

1-2为入门，3-4为熟练，5-6为精通，7-8为大师，9-10为宗师，11级是满级出神入化。

Aside from Level 1, which requires self-study.

Other levels can be upgraded using points, provided that the talent and prerequisites are sufficient.

A total of 10 upgrades were made.

Judging from the consumption of skill upgrades, the Dragon Claw Hand only consumes one-tenth of the points required for "Taiyi Divine Needle" and "Great Heavenly Evolution Technique".

But this doesn't mean that Dragon Claw Hand isn't strong.

However, the Taiyi Divine Needle and the Great Heavenly Evolution Technique are useful in any plane.

Moreover, its monetization capability far surpasses that of Dragon Claw Hand, so the points consumed are also vastly different.

Looking at the current group points, there are 3890 points remaining.

"Even just one-tenth of it cost me 550 points? Wouldn't it take 11000 points to max out the Taiyi Divine Needle and the Great Heavenly Evolution Technique??"

I used to think I had nowhere to use my points, but now it seems like I don't have enough at all.

Fortunately, you can get 3650 points by signing in for a year.

Even if you do nothing, three years is enough time to max out these two skills.

Otherwise, Lu Yun would actually have a stomachache.

I looked at my hands again and didn't see any thick calluses.

But Lu Yun could sense that the defensive power of these hands had still been enhanced.

It should be noted that Lu Yun had already enhanced his genes, making his body's defense and resilience far superior to that of ordinary people.

This time, the defensive power of his hands was increased once again.

Its power will naturally increase exponentially.

He even doubted whether he could catch a bullet with his bare hands now.

"You probably can't catch a bullet with your bare hands, right? Those masters in martial arts movies can only catch hidden weapons, catching a bullet... that seems a bit much!!"

Lu Yun muttered something to himself.

Perhaps I can try it when I have my own internal energy, but I shouldn't take the risk now.

I got dressed, got into my Bentley, and headed out the door. After making some quick preparations along the way, I drove towards Jiaxing.

........

There are less than 52 hours left before the group quest teleportation, so we need to hurry.

Jiaxing can actually be considered a tourist city.

However, this tourist city is not as big as other cities and is currently only classified as a fourth-tier city.

It only takes Lu Yun two hours to drive there.

Huang Xu was originally a warlord, and now he has seven or eight concubines.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be dwelling on his past.

But some things are always the first and hardest to forget.

That's why he asked Lu Yun to help look after his wife.

His situation was similar to Li Susu's; three years of living a life of constant danger in another world had made him forget the details of Earth.

Since he and his wife used to rent a house, Lu Yun didn't have a phone number or address, so he had to go to their hometown.

Fortunately, their hometown is not far from Jiaxing. It only took Lu Yun about forty minutes to drive from Jiaxing.

"Hello, could you please tell me how to get to Huangjia Town?"

Around 12 noon, Lu Yun drove to the entrance of a small shop.

Upon hearing this question, the shop owner, a woman in her thirties, glanced at Lu Yun and said, "This is it."

"Do you know a woman named Tong Li, who lives around number 270 in town?"

"Tong Li? What do you want with her?"

"I'm a businessman. Her husband invested some money in our company before, and now the deadline has arrived. I wanted to give him the money, but I couldn't get through to him on the phone, so I came here..."

"I am Tong Li. How much money did he invest in your company?"

"You're Tong Li??"

Lu Yun was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He wasn't surprised by the woman's identity, but rather by her appearance.

He originally thought that the wives of these transmigrators on Earth would generally be very beautiful.

Even if she doesn't reach Shen Weiwei's level, she shouldn't be worse than Li Zhou's girlfriend who was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme, right?

But now... the proprietress in front of me not only has dark skin and a sallow complexion, but her figure is also a bit out of shape.
