I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

After the meal, Li Chang'an walked out of Aunt Shen's house and looked at the Jianghu People panel in front of him.

"The requirements for Eagle Claw Kung Fu in terms of Qi and blood and strength are much higher than those of Snake Fist. To reach the training standard, you need a total of 0.22 points of innate Qi."

"Looks like I need to finish the task of eliminating those six hundred rats as soon as possible, or trigger more tasks."

Li Chang'an went home to get his slingshot and went straight to the back alley of the night market street where he had previously hunted rats.

The rat poison traps set last night were indeed effective; many rats lay dead in the alley, poisoned to death.

However, these poisoned rats were not counted in the narrator's count of rat heads for the job.

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

But it makes sense. If one could get "rat heads" with rat poison, then obtaining innate Qi would be far too easy. He could just scatter rat poison all over the streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island and probably get tens of thousands of rats a day.

Li Chang'an pulled back his slingshot and shot down the more than twenty live rats still struggling on the sticky rat traps, thus beginning tonight's hunt.

He spent nearly two hours wandering around the various wet markets and garbage dumps near Shek Tong Tsui.

Although they shot and killed dozens more rats, the number of rats they encountered became increasingly smaller.

After two days of hunting, the surviving mice became exceptionally alert, knowing that a terrifying upright ape was frantically slaughtering their mouse population.

Sometimes, even before Li Chang'an gets close, just by sensing his gaze, the rats would scatter like startled birds.

Left with no other choice, Li Chang'an decided to change hunting grounds, hoping that there would be more silly mice in the new hunting grounds.

Fortunately, the coastal area of ​​Sai Wan on Hong Kong Island is lined with piers and seafood markets, making it a fertile ground for rats to gather.

He hunted rats along the coastline, from the docks to the markets, and probably had no trouble finding targets.

That night, Li Chang'an finished off 300 rat heads in his mission before dragging his tired body home to sleep.

……

……

The next morning.

After waking up, Li Chang'an was full of energy. He first put on the wooden ring and did a few sets of snake-style boxing to warm up.

Then, the load was increased again, with a 30-kilogram bag of rice on his back, and he practiced on the stake for another hour.

[Snake-style Fist Skill Experience +3 (Beginner 58/100)]

dong dong dong-

Li Chang'an stood shirtless in the center of the room. Just as he finished his stance, a knock sounded at the door.

Pushing open the door, Ruan Xiaotang once again saw Li Chang'an's well-defined upper body muscles.

This was the third time she had seen it. This time, Ruan Xiaotang didn't even cover her face, but her face was still a little red.

"Brother Chang'an, Mom asked me to call you over for breakfast."

"Okay, I'll be there after I take a shower. You and Aunt Shen can eat first."

Li Chang'an picked up a bath towel, draped it over himself, and prepared to go out.

"You exhibitionist! What if the neighbor's auntie sees you without clothes on?!"

Ruan Xiaotang stuck out her tongue as she watched Li Chang'an's retreating figure, then turned and ran back into the house, her pink slippers making a clattering sound on the floor.

"What about Chang'an?"

Shen Daining looked quite well today. She personally cooked a pot of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, intending to let Li Chang'an try it.

Upon hearing the voice, Ruan Xiaotang subconsciously replied.

"Mom, that exhibitionist Chang'an went downstairs to take a shower naked."

Shen Daining blushed and quickly patted Ruan Xiaotang's head.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid..."

……

……

After the meal, Li Chang'an pushed his bicycle, first letting Ruan Xiaotang sit comfortably on the back seat before he himself got on.

As the bike was lifted off the ground, Ruan Xiaotang instinctively grabbed the metal frame of the back seat, then looked at the back of Li Chang'an's T-shirt billowing in the wind, and tentatively tugged at the corner of his shirt.

Seeing that Li Chang'an did not react, she placed her small hand on Li Chang'an's waist.

The morning breeze blew in my face, carrying the scent of damp grass.

Ruan Xiaotang's skirt was lifted by a corner in the wind. She reached out and pressed it down, asking softly:

"Brother Chang'an, are you really going to pick me up and drop me off at school every day from now on?"

"Yes, I went to the public phone booth last night and asked Mr. Wong. Mr. Wong told me that Fei Zai Dong's actions were not serious. The police station will detain him for a maximum of one month. If he behaves well, he may be released early."

It's safer for me to pick you up and drop you off myself from now on.

"Um."

Ruan Xiaotang squinted her eyes and responded softly.

Although the bicycle ride was a bit bumpy, she wished the journey could be longer.

As a public school in Sai Wan, Yuk Choi Secondary School is mostly attended by the children of dockworkers in the Sai Wan area, and it is not far from Shek Tong Tsui.

Li Chang'an quickly rode to the school gate. He braced himself on one foot and stopped the bike. Before Ruan Xiaotang could get off, he noticed that the once noisy school gate had become half quiet.

The students who were walking in from the school gate in twos and threes all looked at him quietly, with curiosity and even a bit of awe.

"It must be him."

A female student with a mushroom haircut whispered to her companion.

The female student next to her brightened up and said excitedly:

"Yes, yes, that's him, the handsome guy on the bicycle, he's so stylish!"

"It is said that Fei-zai Dong bullied this handsome guy's girlfriend, and yesterday afternoon he drove his Mercedes-Benz to block the school gate."

His driver, who was as cool as a killer villain in a TV series, kicked Fei Zai Dong and his gang, sending them all to the hospital!

He even boasted that the police station was full of his men! He's incredibly powerful; he must be some kind of triad prince. So cool!

"Really?"

"He's a gangster prince, so why is he riding a bicycle?"

"What do you know? That's called being low-key!" a boy analyzed seriously. "Real big shots are all unassuming; some even go out wearing only slippers."

"I still don't quite believe it..."

The students around them were talking quite loudly, and Li Chang'an and Ruan Xiaotang could hear them clearly.

Sensing Ruan Xiaotang's teasing gaze, Li Chang'an said to her, "You should hurry up and go into the school; I should go too."

Just then, several girls with exaggerated Ferrari hairstyles, wearing cropped T-shirts, bodycon plaid skirts, or flared jeans, ran over nervously.

These girls' outfits are modeled after the looks in the American movie "Grease," which has become a hit in Hong Kong in recent years.

Because young people dressed like this are often delinquents who hang out on the streets, they are called "grease boys" or "grease girls".

The girls who were selling grease ran up to Ruan Xiaotang and, before they could even catch their breath, knelt down in unison with a few thuds.

The girl in the lead had a head of fluffy waves. She glanced timidly at Li Chang'an, who seemed a little confused, before quickly looking at Ruan Xiaotang.

"Tang, Sister Tang, I'm so sorry!"

"We were blind before, daring to insult you and even try to cause you trouble. We deserve to die, we deserve to die!"

As she spoke, she began to slap herself, and several of the girls behind her followed suit, begging Ruan Xiaotang to forgive them as they did so.

The students at the school gate were dumbfounded.

These girls, who usually acted arrogantly on campus because they knew some big shots from clubs outside of school, were actually so scared that they knelt down!

The rumors were true!
