Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

Chen Xuan was completely stunned.

He never dreamed that he would witness such a scene after simply completing a medical book, and clearly, it was only an introductory-level medical book.

[Under the red light, and with your shocked gaze, you look at the feedback received at this moment.]

[You have seen the special encounter that can be triggered in your life:]

[Studying Classics in Your Old Age (Tian): Your talent is amazing. At the same time, you have an indescribable love for all kinds of poetry, biographies, esoteric texts, Buddhist scriptures and Taoist canons. Because of your innate talent, you will have feelings to express every time you fully understand and can use the knowledge.

The saying goes, "First is fate, second is luck, third is feng shui, fourth is accumulating good deeds, and fifth is studying!" Your destiny will change based on the amount of reading you do!

If your comprehension exceeds the limit (≥6), and you thoroughly understand 10 books (excluding martial arts manuals), you will obtain the Yellow-level Destiny Talent: "Reading is Beneficial". The quality of this Destiny Talent can be improved and upgraded based on your subsequent reading volume.

Currently, I have thoroughly read and understood 1 book (Qingqing Book).

Within the red light, the first red object appeared before Chen Xuan's eyes.

Or perhaps it was a serendipitous encounter!

Moreover, it was a fixed encounter that I triggered myself!

To spend one's life studying books is a life of hardship. First comes fate, second luck, third feng shui, fourth accumulating good deeds, and fifth studying!

So, in the world of martial arts, reading can change your destiny!

Chen Xuan swallowed hard and hurriedly opened his inventory.

However, besides the Qingqing Book, there is only one other item in the inventory: the Spring Breeze and Rain Needle.

However, the Spring Breeze and Rain Needle is considered a martial arts manual, which obviously does not meet the requirements of "studying classics until old age".

However, Chen Xuan was not discouraged. There were still quite a few bookstores in Jinling City. Although they didn't have any martial arts manuals, they had a lot of miscellaneous books.

The expensive ones cost one or two taels of silver, while the cheap ones cost only a few dozen copper coins.

There is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in books!

At this moment, Chen Xuan wished he could immediately take control of his character in the game and head back home.

But he quickly calmed down.

If it weren't for the mysterious background at the beginning, he could indeed slowly grind his way through the game. However, with the sword of Damocles hanging over him, martial arts skills are still the most important factor. Only after surviving the crisis can he slowly survive and grind for unexpected encounters!

With this in mind, Chen Xuan calmed down and continued fishing!

Chen Xuan had already decided that he wouldn't eat this precious fish himself, but would give it to Old Cao to take back.

The reason is simple: if you've taken it before, the effect won't be as good this time, and the chances of increasing the potency again are slim.

Raising Cao Qing's favorability, formally becoming his disciple, and learning stance training, a basic martial art for beginners, is the most important thing to do in the next two weeks!

We must try every possible means!

You composed yourself, gazing at the calm waters of the river. Finally, you activated your destiny-defying power, transferring all your wisdom to your fortune.

[You sensed an inexplicable, mysterious aura surrounding you, and your luck improved once again.]

You stare intently at the water's surface, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

Hard work pays off!

As you wait, a familiar, immense force comes from the other end of the fishing rod.

[But you, already focused and prepared, activated your destiny-defying technique almost immediately, redirecting all your good fortune to your power.]

Your power has increased again compared to last time.

[At the same time, with Wang Wu's guidance and your own insights into fishing, you naturally won't be engaging in a tug-of-war with this fish again.]

You swam quickly back and forth along the shore, and in the fishing line, you saw that familiar golden glint.

[You seized the opportunity, and with a sudden flick of your silver willow fishing rod, the sturdy rod tip slammed powerfully into the golden shadow!]

[With that one successful strike, you can clearly feel that the force coming from the pole's tip has weakened considerably!]

This put your mind at ease, and then, seizing the opportunity, you unleashed another "wave-splitting fish strike," the spike on the rod tip piercing directly into the fish's weak spot.

Your "Fishing Rod Technique" experience has increased. Current experience: Level 1, 65% (Beginner)

As you felt the resistance gradually disappear, a smile appeared on your face. You slowly reeled in the line, pulling that wisp of gold from the riverbed.

[It was indeed a golden coin fish, a precious fish with a completely golden body, still occasionally jumping and struggling.]

But clearly, it had no chance of resisting anymore.

[You have successfully caught a treasure fish on your own. Your fishing experience has increased significantly. Current level: Level 2, 99% (Basic knowledge).]

Wow, catching this golden chub by myself actually increased my fishing experience by a whole level?

Previously, Chen Xuan's fishing level was at 99% of level 1, but now it has skyrocketed and directly increased by 1 level?

[System Notification: You have completed the Mystic-level Adventure 'Rare Delicacies and Treasure Fish' again. This adventure is repeatable and can be triggered again next week! You have gained +400 Potential Points.] (Repeat triggering rate reduced by 20%)

You happily placed the nearly dead golden fish into the small wooden bucket you had prepared beforehand, and immediately prepared to head home.

However, just then, the sound of rushing water quickly emerged from the hidden reeds not far away.

[Wang Wu? No. Not Wang Wu! Your gaze fell on the large, black-awning boat, much larger than Wang Wu's, capable of holding several people, and a sense of unease crept into your heart.]

Sure enough, a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes emerged from the bow of the ship, his face filled with both joy and anxiety.

"Young man, are you selling the fish you just caught?!"

His voice was somewhat anxious, and his acting wasn't very good; even you could hear the barely suppressed excitement and greed beneath it.

You shook your head, picked up the piece of wood, shouldered the fishing rod, and prepared to leave.

"Young man, don't go! I'll offer five hundred coins! That's an astronomical price!"

[His boat sped up, and at that moment you saw that besides the standing man, there were two shirtless youths rowing the boat, both staring intently at you.]

【You're unmoved! Five hundred coins? This thing, even if it were five taels of silver, you wouldn't sell it for such a low price!】

[It's obvious this middle-aged man is trying to scam you, so you should directly rebuke him.]

"I'm not selling, don't come any closer!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's smile vanished, his pretense crumbling, revealing only greed on his face.

"I never expected that what that old devil Wang Wu said was actually true. It's really possible to catch the golden coin bream, such a precious fish, here! It's infuriating that my father and I spent five whole days fishing here, only to have you steal our catch!?"

"You little brat, if you know what's good for you, hand over this precious fish obediently, otherwise..."

He ignored your words and quickly reached the shore. The two shirtless youths beside him also disembarked.

Faced with this situation, you decide...

Option 1: Turn and run: It's better to survive than to perish! Drop the treasure fish and save your life; after all, you can catch it again anytime.

[Option 2: Run with the bucket: Neither you nor the fish can be hurt! You run away quickly with the treasure fish, but your speed will be reduced.]

[Option 3: Prepare for Battle: This is your first real battle in the martial arts world of "Martial Arts," and you think you're ready!]

Looking at the three options before him, Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light as he glanced at a steel needle next to the counter.

In the past two days, he has also practiced and tried it out in real life.

Even if one has not truly become a first-rate martial artist in the Body Refinement Realm, the power of this needle is still enough to pierce through the flesh and blood of an ordinary person.

He finally stopped hesitating and clicked on the third option!

Yes, the blood and winds of this martial world.

He had long wanted to try something salty.
