Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 95 A Peaceful Daily Life (Part 2)

Fortunately, everyone's efforts throughout the day paid off. After a whole day of work, Helen and Zhao Weike's house was finally restored to its original state, although it became somewhat empty. But as Helen put it, "out with the old, in with the new."

Meanwhile, Sherlock successfully completed the modification of Helen's car, giving the Emperor a defensive capability comparable to his own Raptor. Most importantly, the car was still a normal car, just with incredible defensive power.

Both Sherlock and Helen's family were very satisfied with today's results, but since everything had been accomplished, there should naturally be a reward.

After Sherlock and Zhao Weike strongly suggested it, everyone unanimously decided to have a barbecue at the beach the next day.

The next morning, everyone got up very early. After shopping at the supermarket, Sherlock's Bird of Prey and Helen's Emperor of Bath set off. The two families, one in a three-bedroom, two-living-room car and the other in a three-bedroom, one-living-room car, arrived at the beach in a grand procession and began to have a great time.

Sherlock and Zhao Weike set up a grill on the shore, engaging in a showdown between American BBQ and Chinese barbecue.

The ladies, meanwhile, wore revealing swimsuits and frolicked in the sea.

This was only the second time Anna had ever seen the sea, but it was the first time she had ever actually swam in it. If Helen hadn't been constantly encouraging and accompanying Anna, Anna would have been a little hesitant to relax in the water.

But after getting used to it, Anna had more fun than ever before, and for the first time, she found the joy that a girl her age should have.

To make things even more lively, Sherlock even used the Anywhere Door to pull Pepper Potts and Tony over.

Chili Pepper hadn't had such a happy vacation in a long time, and she was having a great time with Helen. As for Tony, he was at odds with Zhao Weike and Sherlock.

In Tony's words, nothing tastes as good as his own Stark BBQ, whether it's American or Chinese style.

Then Tony was thoroughly humiliated. Sherlock's Chinese barbecue, with its rich variety of dishes, perfect Maillard reaction, and complex seasonings, won first place in this barbecue competition.

If this only made Tony feel humiliated, then Sherlock's modified Raptor and Emperor Bathing King drove Tony to madness with jealousy.

Tony had never experienced anything like having a mansion inside a car without affecting the vehicle!

What even a billionaire like him couldn't sense, a little kid and an assassin can now sense?

Of course, to save face, Tony didn't directly express his jealousy, but instead repeatedly talked to Sherlock about things like space technology.

Finally, after Tony's theoretical explanation of some kind of space folding and space compression technology, Sherlock tossed Tony a box just like Newt's with a look of disgust. As for whether Tony could use science to crack alchemy and learn a trick or two, Sherlock had no idea. Anyway, Tony's expression as he held the box was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

As the sun set once again, this joyful seaside barbecue came to an end, and everyone went home to their respective mothers.

Sherlock planned to return to his peaceful daily life, but to his surprise, he was dragged out of bed by Zhao Weike early the next morning.

Anna, who was secretly laughing, was standing next to Zhao Weike.

As for why Zhao Weike did this, the reason is simple: Zhao Weike simply couldn't stand Sherlock's water-spraying gun technique and kindergarten-level fighting skills.

This war made Zhao Weike clearly aware of what Sherlock might face in the future. There wasn't much he could do, but training Sherlock in shooting, fighting, and even physical strength was definitely the best help he could give Sherlock.

After listening to Zhao Weike's theory, Sherlock seemed to see those peaceful and beautiful days waving goodbye to him before turning away with unusually resolute backs.

Indeed, the days that Sherlock called hell began under Zhao Weike's supervision.

Sherlock had to get up at six o'clock in the morning and then go for a five-kilometer run with Anna as his morning exercise.

During this process, Sherlock was panting like a dead dog, his legs felt as heavy as lead, his heart was pounding like a drum, and his lungs were burning with pain. If Anna hadn't been holding him back, Sherlock wouldn't even have been able to get back.

After breakfast, they conducted combat training in the yard, with Zhao Weike acting as the coach, instructing Anna and Sherlock in sparring.

In just one morning, Sherlock was beaten so badly by Anna that he vomited three times. The longest time, he even fell to the ground and was spinning around, almost fainting.

After Sherlock finished his trembling lunch, he was greeted with shooting training with Anna.

Sherlock wasn't entirely averse to this thing, but once he actually started, the constant shaking of his hands from the morning's combat training, coupled with the pain in his shoulders and arms from shooting for so long, still caused him considerable pain.

After the sun went down, Sherlock thought he could finally rest, but what awaited him was insane physical training.

Most importantly, Anna, a girl even younger than Sherlock, had no problems all day long, and could even be said to have completely overwhelmed Sherlock. However, after a whole day of training, Sherlock felt that Zhao Weike almost killed him.

It's fair to say that Anna, this little girl, was able to fight Sherlock without him using alchemy; she could do whatever she wanted.

Despite Sherlock's repeated explanations that he could undergo human enhancement and transformation, even when Sherlock cried to Helen and had Doro act cute, it was all to no avail.

In Helen's words, a healthy body is the key to longevity and happiness, and she had long wanted to change Sherlock's reclusive nature.

As for the so-called human enhancement and alchemy?

In Zhao Weike's words, these are all unorthodox methods! Only the skills you memorize with your own body and the abilities you learn through your own body are truly your own!

Thus, Sherlock endured a full month of what could only be described as hellish days.

Of course, the changes are also very obvious. From being dragged back to morning exercise by Anna like a dead dog at the beginning to being able to run a full five kilometers on his own; from being beaten so badly by Anna in combat class that he couldn't tell which way was which, he gradually began to be able to exchange a few blows with Anna; from the initial water-spraying gun technique in shooting class to now being able to hit the target every time.

Even Anna was shocked by Sherlock's rapid progress.

But Sherlock was not happy at all; all he could think about was ending these hellish days as soon as possible.

When the Ancient One reappeared before Sherlock, Sherlock was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

Sherlock even swore that this was the first time in his life he had seen the Ancient One so beautiful and kind.

Of course, if the first thing the Ancient One said to Sherlock wasn't, "I see you're so engrossed in training that you even postponed your trip to Asgard by half a month."

Sherlock swore that seeing the Ancient One at this time would still be a very joyful thing.
