I can travel to the past and the future

"Okay, I understand. Come back now."

Simon's calmness on the phone shocked Veronica. The cops had searched and opened the envelope; Murphy was doomed. In just a few days, they had lost two third-tier assassins—a devastating blow...

She blurted out instinctively, "The Hell Cult line is about to break! Why aren't you reacting at all?"

"Because there's something even bigger going on..."

"What?"

"Fajia Heavy Industries is pushing for a new federal bill to target the Twilight Group..."

"..." Veronica took a deep breath: "So soon, is it about to begin? Ha."

"My friend is indeed a rare talent. The Night Project needs him. We need to change our approach to the probing. Come back first, and we'll discuss it again in a couple of days."

"Yes... Lord Simon."

……

At 5:41 PM, in the freshman cafeteria of Galaxy University, Hu Tu, wearing black overalls, was whispering to Qiao Yuan, "Hey, have you seen Lu Qiuhai? He's been watching you all day."

"Oh, so what if they look?" Qiao Yuan ate his hot potato and beef stew, not paying any attention.

Now, with the pressure from Simon, his desire to become stronger has only intensified.

The wreckage area is a blessed place; he can enter at any time. However, to maximize his profits, he must wait to flip the snowball again, buy a bunch of high-level potions, and then go in to exchange for the Night Stone.

Although there are still many gene enhancement liquids and physical conditioning medicines at home, these are the foundation for improving physical condition, and I would have to buy more if I used them, so I haven't touched them.

However, the most recent race was the Royal Horse Racing Championship a few days later.

We'll have to wait a bit longer.

He could either switch to other ways to make money, like betting on boxing gyms in Huanxi Prefecture, but what he needs now is ten million, such a large amount is too ostentatious.

Stocks also have a T+3 restriction, meaning you can only sell them on the fourth day. Not only is it inconvenient, but small-cap stocks currently have no prospect of appreciation, and you also need to do a lot of research and screening, which is far less convenient than competing.

He knew almost nothing about the remaining methods, such as various cryptocurrencies and interstellar futures.

Just wait. Some things can't be rushed. The advantage of betting on sports from home and getting rich overnight is still huge.

Just then, he received another transfer from the Tiandu branch, still 5 yuan plus 50 credit points, just like the previous Snake Man.

This kind of life, where you occasionally earn some extra money, seems pretty good.

At the same time, Hu Tu lowered his voice and said, "I just heard that Lu Qiuhai is eager to challenge you again."

"Oh," Qiao Yuan continued eating.

Hu Tu was taken aback: "Don't just keep saying 'oh' and 'hey'. I have a feeling he's very confident and well-prepared this time. I'm afraid you'll get hit by him. That guy is like a mad dog. Don't let your guard down."

"Don't worry," Qiao Yuan said with a smile, "You said this morning that Qin Xue didn't mention it again last night, so I suppose everything is fine."

"Haha, yeah, she hugged me tightly last night, and then we watched a movie," Hu Tu said with great relish. "Love is so sweet!"

Qiao Yuan nodded: "That's good."

After dinner, he said goodbye to Hutu and, as usual, activated his demonic substitute to fly home. It's always good to be cautious.

He's relatively free tonight, so he'll take a shower first, and then practice Canghai Jin and Linghe Sanshou later.

As for those gene enhancement fluids, these things are not like martial arts potions, which are labeled not to be taken continuously. They should be taken a few days apart each time to allow the body to fully absorb them and practice.

Before they knew it, it was late at night. Canghai Jin had once again reached level 44, and Linghe San Shou had reached level 3, both showing significant improvement.

My physical fitness increased by 0.1, but if you include the high-intensity military training during the day, it increases to 0.24.

In my current state, I can basically improve my physique by one level every five days, which is pretty great.

The Spirit Crane Scattered Hand is relatively simple, with only four levels in total. Even among ancient martial arts, it is considered inferior and rather ordinary, according to his current perspective.

Canghai Jin is better.

To be honest, it's been a long time since he's learned anything from others. It's not expensive, but this method is actually a bit awkward. If the people around him find out, it will be difficult to explain.

On the contrary, what Hu Tu mentioned about the inheritance of the Yao Guang Emperor in their Yao Guang class really appealed to him.

After all this time, tomorrow is the 26th. Military training is halfway over, and there are only a few days left before school starts in September.

The baby came home quite late today, almost midnight, but it still caught his eye.

Qiao Yuan stood up with a smile, looking at Yan Baobao's healthy and vibrant fair skin: "You've already advanced to level 20, bulletproof physique, so quickly?"

"Hmm?" Yan Baobao walked over proudly, raising her little hand to gesture, "After my promotion today, I practiced shooting in the bureau's shooting range."

"Huh? Hitting yourself?"

"Yes, there used to be a small red dot here, which was the mark left after I fired the gun last night. It's gone now," Bao Bao said, rolling up her sleeves.

Qiao Yuan leaned closer to look and laughed, "You recovered so quickly! I remember when you were little and first got sick, the doctor Grandma Xu brought said you should sleep for a whole day, but because it was a snowy night, I stayed by your side the whole time. I eventually fell asleep from exhaustion. In the middle of the night, I vaguely heard a rustling sound, which startled me. I thought a thief had broken in, but when I opened my eyes, it was you eating biscuits with a smacking sound, hahaha."

Yan Baobao laughed along, "Yuan is the best, he remembers it so clearly."

"Of course! I was so surprised, but I didn't tell you. It was only about two hours in total. Not only did you wake up right away, but you were also full of energy, rummaging through your mother-in-law's kitchen looking for food."

"Haha," Yan Baobao glanced at the time, "It's getting late, Yuan, go to sleep."

"Okay," Qiao Yuan nodded with a smile.

He washed up and went to bed. Tomorrow is the 26th, and the horse race is on the 29th. It's almost over, only a few days left.

Thinking about Yan Baobao's recovery just now, it must be related to that endless energy. It seems that every time the baby's strength increases, some powerful characteristics will emerge, becoming more and more obvious.

A few days ago, my baby mentioned that a level 20 physique can make the skin resist ordinary bullets. In addition, his physique has been rising one after another, so he specifically checked it the night before last.

Level 20, as the second watershed in physical constitution, does indeed have the strength to withstand ordinary bullets, but it is not without any marks. It will still leave red dots, similar to bulletproof vests.

If you are shot in the same spot repeatedly, it can also affect your bones.

Like that old Jin before, level 30 physique is truly tough, completely ignoring pistol bullets.

Patrick Star emptied a magazine of bullets without sustaining any damage, and was eventually killed by poison.

Yan Baobao clearly said that the shooting test was only conducted at night, and it was only a few hours until she got home, yet the red dot mark had already disappeared completely, as if it had never existed. That's amazing!

Normally, applying some blood-activating medicine to an injury will help it heal quickly, but the baby definitely didn't apply it, otherwise I wouldn't have told him that.

He couldn't help but recall the night before last in the new district of Velen, when Yan Baobao chased after the bearded man and easily broke free from the Eternal Night spell...

Hey, anyway, it's all good news. The more capable the baby is, the more at ease he'll feel. Time to sleep.

……

The next day on the school playground, he arrived a little early, at 7:40, Hu Tu had not yet arrived.

Tu Shanlin, dressed in a black preppy casual suit and pleated skirt, seemed to relax a bit after noticing his arrival.

These days, because of the little fox's shyness and restraint, it seems that he hasn't made any friends.

Although those classmates were all geniuses and many came from wealthy families, they still made little progress in front of the unattainable heiresses of tycoons.

In fact, Qiao Yuan had already noticed that Tu Shanlin would never speak unless prompted, just like a timid little hedgehog that kept itself completely covered up.

Only after putting on that frog costume could she reveal a bit of her true self.

So this must be fate.

If we hadn't met at the entrance of the Tiandu branch police station back then, we probably wouldn't have had any further contact.

He wasn't the type to flirt with girls he met; he was just genuinely curious at first.

Five minutes later, Qiao Yuan watched as Hu Tu walked over, looking somewhat distracted.

The clothes were the same black overalls and white shirt from yesterday, though they had been washed.

"You seem listless so early in the morning, what's wrong with you?" he couldn't help but ask.

Hu Tu shook his head slightly: "Sigh, I don't know how to put it, you must be quite devastated."

"Is it still about Qin Xue?" Qiao Yuan already had a gut feeling. Although in his impression, Qin Xue had always been a good girl, people always change.

Especially after arriving in this extremely prosperous and extravagant Silver Moon capital city, I entered university.

While students at Galaxy University are still undergoing military training, other universities have already started classes a week ago.

Seeing Hu Tu nod, he immediately comforted him, "Tell me about it, maybe I can help. What's done is done, you can't get over it if you keep it to yourself."

Hu Tu hesitated for a moment and then sighed, "He was fine last night, but this morning when I took him to the school gate, I don't know why, he suddenly brought up the old story again. Oh my god, I'm so confused, bro, is it because I haven't lost weight...?"

"It's probably because she doesn't like fat guys, but she can't say it directly. Oh well, I won't force it. It's pointless. Let's just end it when I get home tonight."

Qiao Yuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you tonight. If you really suffer a loss, you have to explain things clearly, instead of stammering."

"Thanks, bro, but it's nothing, it's no big deal. First love is like that, isn't it? I've seen a lot of people's first love last only a few days, hahaha." Hu Tu's eyes were full of gratitude, but he still waved his hand.

Seeing this, Qiao Yuan didn't force the issue for the time being, since there was really no need to make a big deal out of a breakup.

He was just worried that Hu Tu would get hurt. What if Qin Xue really fell for someone else, and Hu Tu was still indulging in self-pity, or even forgiving Qin Xue...

A short while later, Instructor Zhou appeared and announced today's military training program, which turned out to be race walking, which sounded quite simple.

This did surprise him, but after Instructor Zhou explained, he felt it was quite commendable. It was mainly used to test their mentality and their ability to remain stable under any circumstances.

This reminded him of the "Ape God Stance" that his high school homeroom teacher had mentioned, which involved combining movement and stillness.

In the path of power, besides the fierce moves of flying and disappearing into the air, one must also maintain a calm mindset, remain composed in the face of adversity, and use stillness to control movement. The more critical the situation, the calmer one must be.

Although race walking involves constant movement, it trains emotional control. As Qiao Yuan began practicing in the morning, he realized it was not easy.

According to Instructor Zhou's requirements, the rules of race walking are actually very strict. Many seemingly unintentional behaviors are violations. The morning practice was fine, but the afternoon exam would be a bit troublesome.

As evening fell and school ended, Qiao Yuan felt for the first time as if he had just finished serving his sentence in prison.

The amount of exercise in the race walk was average, not comparable to the jumping and frog jumps of the previous two days, but this 20-kilometer race walk was quite grueling.

Maintaining the same speed, the same rhythm, the same pace all the time is disgusting.

It does help with mindset.

However, it doesn't help him much, as he can travel to the past and future, and he is inherently very patient.

At that moment, he and Hutu were gulping down ice-cold Sprite, feeling particularly refreshed.

Just then, a black-clad youth with a powerful stride gradually emerged from the Ksitigarbha Sect.

It was Lu Qiuhai.

These days of military training have resulted in a certain degree of increase in their physical fitness and muscle mass.

And the return of confidence.

"Qiao Yuan! Do you dare to compete again?"

The surrounding area was filled with students from classes such as Yaoguang, Lieyang, and Dizang, numbering in the hundreds.

Hu Tu frowned and said, "Qiao Yuan, be careful. I have a feeling this guy has improved a lot."

Tu Shanlin was about to leave when he stopped and looked at Qiao Yuan with some trepidation.

Last night, Qiao Yuan learned from Hu Tu that Lu Qiuhai was eager to try, and said directly, "Forget it, don't lose face in public again."

"Load the cargo! If you can't compete, then admit defeat!" Lu Qiuhai glared at him, rubbing his hands together.

Qiao Yuan shrugged helplessly: "Alright, alright, I'll satisfy you one more time, you little glutton."

Lu Qiuhai's expression suddenly changed: "Go to hell! You smooth talker."

Amidst the surrounding students' discussions, and as Lu Qiuhai unleashed an even more ferocious and domineering punch, Qiao Yuan lazily glanced at the future.

After that, he replicated the stunning scene from the morning of the 20th in the same way.

With ease, he dodged all of Lu Qiuhai's moves, unleashing the full power of the forty-fourth layer of Azure Sea Force and the third layer of Lotus Steps.

"It's a complete mess, we still need to practice."

Qiao Yuan shook his head casually and continued drinking water; he had only drunk half of it.

Now that his physique has doubled, he is even more at ease dealing with Lu Qiuhai's attacks.

Defeating someone in school is a bit difficult, as many techniques are hard to use, but avoiding their moves is relatively easy.

At that moment, Lu Qiuhai was slightly out of breath, looking at his hands with surprise and uncertainty: "No...why!"

He couldn't understand it for a moment, felt deeply frustrated, and even really became a monkey in a circus, making a fool of himself again...

The students around were all amazed.

"This kid's physique has almost doubled!"

"No wonder, I was wondering why Lu Qiuhai's physique had increased by two levels these past two days, yet he still missed his target repeatedly."

"Haha, to be fair, this Qiao Yuan is indeed very skilled to have reached such a level with only one stage of advancement, which is different from those rumors."

A girl from the next class stared at them intently: "He said Lu Qiuhai is a little glutton? Hahaha, he's handsome and funny. Does anyone have his contact information?"

Beside the girl was Jiang Wan from the Blazing Sun Class, with her long black hair. At this moment, she couldn't help but recall Qiao Yuan's charisma during the Tower Challenge.

It's a pity we weren't in the same class.

Jin Yunxi also looked over with appreciation, becoming increasingly interested in Qiao Yuan. However, it seemed that he had been getting very close to Tu Shanlin these past two days.

Charlie saw it all, and the struggle and anxiety he felt yesterday were stirred up again.

Qiao Yuanxing, why can't he!

My courage before the battle even begins is already a disadvantage. I'll be in the Galaxy Class sooner or later. No, I have to regroup and challenge Qiao Yuan.

He murmured to himself, already realizing the truth.

Taking on a challenge is about striving for the impossible; only by being apprehensive can we overcome fear!

At that moment, Charlie had a sudden realization.

Not far away, Tu Shanlin gently swayed his large, snow-white tail, genuinely happy for Qiao Yuan.

After a while, in the cafeteria, Hu Tu was eating when he suddenly received a call from Qin Xue. After exchanging only a few words, his face quickly darkened and turned ashen.

Qiao Yuan looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hu Tu gritted his teeth slightly: "Dude, I really need you to come with me to Yaoguang University this time, okay? It's urgent, I have to go now."
