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

Over the next two days, Chen Xuan lived a very regular life.

His initial fear that the Viper Gang might come knocking on his door did not materialize.

In fact, he hadn't heard any news about the Viper Gang these past few days, and similarly, he hadn't seen Bai Zhiyun visit him again in the game.

Chen Xuan knew that this woman, who seemed to be obsessed with him and jealous, was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

During this period, it is estimated that neither the Shen family nor the Viper Gang will have an easy time.

But what does this have to do with me?

He focused all his attention on himself in the game.

Aside from spending the mornings cultivating Yan Jinghong's favorability through acupuncture, almost all the remaining time was spent eating, sleeping, and practicing martial arts.

Although the Shennong withered tree stump cannot be repeatedly soaked in a short period of time, he still has the Five Animal Frolics and the Canglan Sea-Stabilizing Stake.

In the past two days, under the terrifying "going against the current" effect, the Five Animal Frolics skill has increased from level 2 with 30% experience to level 2 with 40%, an increase of 10%.

As the main force in cultivation, the Canglan Dinghai Stake is obviously even more advanced, jumping directly from level 3 at 10% to level 3 at 90%! It's not far from breaking through to the fourth level.

This speed is something that other players would hardly even dare to imagine.

It's important to know that the Five Animal Frolics technique alone requires 50 potential points to increase progress by 1%.

From this perspective, one can guess how slow his cultivation speed is.

However, during his cultivation, Chen Xuan allocated all of his more than ten attribute points to his physical constitution, and with the addition of the "Going Against the Current" ability, he was no longer an ordinary person.

Therefore, the current progress is relatively normal.

However, this regular routine was slightly interrupted that afternoon.

"Brother Liu."

Downstairs in the apartment building within the Yuefu residential complex, Chen Xuan smiled and waved to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan quickly came up: "Xiao Chen, here's the key. I've had the room cleaned. Let's go up and check it together."

Chen Xuan did not refuse, and the two of them took the elevator together and returned to Chen Xuan's home.

It must be said that Liu Yuan is indeed a good person; in just three days, he has cleaned everything up to a brand new look.

While conducting the inspection, Chen Xuan chatted casually:

"Brother Liu, how's the company doing lately?"

This man from the north went to university in Jianghai and later stayed there to start his own business, reportedly a small independent game company.

In response to Chen Xuan's question, Liu Yuan shrugged: "Just trying to make a living."

Seeing that he didn't say much, Chen Xuan didn't press further: "The future prospects of the game industry are getting better and better. Brother Liu still has a lot of potential."

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Indeed, the game industry has great potential. Recently, the company has been preparing to make a text-based game, and I wonder how the response will be after its release..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he glanced at Liu Yuan with surprise. Liu Yuan maintained a faint smile, his expression unreadable.

However, Chen Xuan didn't ask any further questions. The house wasn't small, but it wasn't large either. Chen Xuan wasn't the type to meticulously assess the damage, so after a quick glance around, he nodded.

"The house is fine, thank you so much, Brother Liu! How about we grab a bite to eat together?"

Liu Yuan waved his hand: "Next time, I have some things to do at the company, I have to go back."

Chen Xuan didn't insist and nodded, "Then I'll see you off..."

The two went downstairs and chatted as they headed towards the entrance of the residential complex.

Normally speaking, Lefu Community is considered a high-end community in Jianghai. The population density of the buildings is not high, and the community environment is extremely pleasant.

Normally, there aren't many people gathering there. However, just as the two were walking towards the door, they suddenly saw figures standing below an apartment building, pointing and talking about the floors above.

Liu Yuan and Chen Xuan both looked up, and then their brows furrowed.

On the twelfth floor, a window was open, and a baby who looked to be only eight or nine months old was playing on the small terrace that was visible outside the window.

The terrace has no railings, so you can imagine what might happen next.

Among the crowd, some people took out their phones, some dialed the fire alarm, and some contacted the property management. They had already gone to the family's home to see what the adults were doing.

However, as everyone could see, the human cub, driven by its curiosity about the world, was climbing closer and closer to the edge of the unfenced terrace.

Exclamations of surprise began to rise and fall among the crowd.

Chen Xuan and Liu Yuan headed into the crowd almost simultaneously.

Their gazes followed everyone else's, falling upon the child who was about to fall.

"what!"

A scream came from afar, and a slightly plump woman ran over quickly, looking up at the sky above: "Xiaoyu!"

Clearly, this is the baby's mother. She's carrying groceries she just bought from the supermarket near the entrance.

"What's the point of shouting here? Why don't you go home?"

Someone offered a reminder, but it seemed too late.

After hearing that piercing scream, the baby on the terrace seemed to hear a call, crawling faster as if chasing after its mother's embrace, and then, amidst everyone's screams, fell off the terrace.

Screams and cries erupted simultaneously.

Some people closed their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer, while others instinctively avoided the view.

In that instant, all the appearances of all living beings were contained within this place.

Chen Xuan sighed.

He prided himself on never being a good person, and if he didn't have the ability, he would never have gotten involved in this mess. However, with the support of martial arts, his strength, agility, and physical qualities brought by his physique far exceeded those of ordinary people, which was enough for him to catch the baby.

For him, it was just a matter of lifting a finger; for others, it was the hope and lifeline of a family.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly hardened, his gaze fixed on that small figure, his muscles tensing like a cheetah poised to pounce.

However, just as he was about to rush forward, a swift and powerful gust of wind came.

Appearing out of nowhere, a girl in sportswear with a high ponytail suddenly leaped up, defying the laws of physics, and landed on the wall of the apartment building, heading straight for the falling baby.

The next moment, he caught the falling baby in his arms, and then, without caring about the distance and height of the second floor, he did a somersault and landed steadily on the ground.

This set of movements is fluid and graceful.

Without saying a word, the girl handed the fallen baby to the terrified woman, then leaped away again, disappearing from everyone's sight in a few bounds.

From beginning to end, the girl didn't say a single word.

In fact, most people didn't even get a clear look at their faces.

It wasn't until much later that everyone realized what had happened.

"Holy crap, what was that thing just now?"

"That's lightness skill! I told you martial arts aren't dead! There really are people in this world who know martial arts!"

"Oh my god..."

"..."

Chen Xuan blinked, his ready-to-go action still in progress, and for a moment he was caught off guard.

However, as he withdrew his gaze slightly, he paused again in surprise.

Because at this very moment, Liu Yuan, who was originally dressed in a suit and tie, was also making a movement, his body slightly bent and his toes lightly touching the ground, like a cheetah poised to pounce.

Both of them were taken aback, then looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

They didn't speak again, as if nothing had happened, and walked together to the entrance of the residential area.

"Alright, that's enough!"

Liu Yuan waved his hand, instinctively reaching out to shake hands, then, as if remembering something, smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Chen Xuan.

"See you in the martial world!"

"See you in the martial world!"

Chen Xuan also cupped his hands in greeting, watched Liu Yuan get into the car, and drove away.

However, he did not rush to leave, nor did he go to have any in-depth conversation with Liu Yuan or the departing girl.

True friendship is like water, pure and simple; there's no need for that. If fate allows, we'll meet again someday.

He simply watched the departing vehicle, as if he could see through this world of steel and concrete, and see the world and the martial arts world, which existed only in words but were incredibly real.

Chen Xuan was cautious and ruthless in that martial arts world, trying every possible way to survive and become stronger.

However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that in that world, besides martial arts, there might also be chivalry.

The martial arts of that world have not died, and the path of chivalry in this world will not end.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan grinned. Without further hesitation, he turned and left with a more agile and casual demeanor than before.

The world has come to this point, and the realm is now at peace.

How wonderful is the world of martial arts! And I am wonderful too!
