N-M Chapter 072 An Unexpected Encounter at the Tutoring Class
Chapter 072 An Unexpected Encounter at the Tutoring Class
Lin Qiye was unaware of the opinions of the top students from Tiantai No.1 Middle School behind him.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on the fun of choosing ingredients with Bai Muxi.
The two finally selected a mutated whole cow that looked the most plump and tender, weighing several hundred kilograms. They paid for it and prepared to take it home.
Just then, the middle-aged owner, who looked honest and simple and had been selling meat here for many years, wiped the oil off his hands and took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Young man," the shopkeeper said to Lin Qiye in a tone of someone with experience, "judging from your appetite, I know you've reached a critical stage in your cultivation. But I must say, relying solely on food for energy is too inefficient and will soon be insufficient to keep up with your consumption. At that point, we'll have to switch to using high-concentration nutrient solutions to sustain you."
As he spoke, he pulled an electronic business card from under the counter and handed it over: "I have connections here to get high-concentration nutrient solutions. They're absolutely cheap and come in large quantities, no cheating whatsoever. Want to try some? My regular customers all say they're great!"
Lin Qiye took the business card, smiled and shook his head: "Boss, not for now. I'll contact you when I need it."
"Okay." The boss nodded, not insisting, but instead becoming even more enthusiastic.
He turned around and took out a small bottle, no bigger than a thumb, containing a light blue liquid from the refrigerator next to him, and handed it to Lin Qiye.
"It's fate that we met. I have a 10ml sample here, take it and try it out," the shopkeeper explained with a smile. "Don't underestimate it because of its small size. This little bottle has an absorption rate equivalent to eating ten pounds of beef. If you like it, come back to me."
The owner has been selling meat here for 40 years. He went from a young man who once dreamed of martial arts and had a promising future to a middle-aged man who inherited the family business of slaughtering pigs and cattle.
He has seen more students here than Lin Qiye has eaten beef.
Just by looking at the demeanor and clothing of the young couple in front of you, you can tell they come from humble backgrounds with no special connections.
This type of student has most likely never used good nutritional supplements and is currently only able to survive by eating solid food.
However, as long as they want to continue on the path of martial arts, they will soon encounter a bottleneck in replenishing their energy through food.
Let's build a good relationship now by sending out some samples; maybe we can turn it into a long-term business deal in the future.
Looking at the sample in his hand, Lin Qiye felt the boss's kindness, thanked him again, and then, together with Bai Muxi, dragged the huge whole cow away, satisfied.
……
Two days later, at noon.
The dormitory was quiet, with only Lin Qiye's steady, long breathing.
Suddenly, he snapped his tightly closed eyes open, a glint of light flashing in them.
[Ding! The level of "Hun Yuan Yi Qi Gong" has increased! Current level: 5 (0/500)]
[Genetic potential +1%]
"call--"
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, as if expelling all the stale air from his body.
He immediately checked the system panel.
[Host: Lin Qiye]
[Genetic potential: 13.1%]
Physical fitness: 122+
[Spirit: 122+]
[Psionic Power: 111+]
【功法：第128套广播体操10级（MAX），八宝功5级（5/100），混元一气功5级（0/500）】
[Partner: Bai Muxi (Affection Level 85)]
Offspring: 5 (currently pregnant)
[Permission Points: 2]
Genetic potential has increased by a full 1%!
It's already at 13.1%!
On the system panel, all the data have shown significant improvement!
That's incredibly fast, like riding a rocket!
With a thought, Lin Qiye ignited a cluster of orange-red flames at his fingertips once more.
On the surface, the size and color of the flames did not appear to change much.
But Lin Qiye could clearly feel that the temperature it contained was two or three degrees higher than before!
As the flames were extinguished, an intense hunger returned as expected.
Lin Qiye had just sat down at the dining table when Bai Muxi came out of the kitchen carrying a huge tray.
"Here we go!"
This time, the tray holds a whole roasted lamb, perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an irresistible aroma.
Starting yesterday, in order to give her husband a change of pace, Bai Muxi changed her menu from all beef to all lamb.
Soon, under Bai Muxi's doting and satisfied smile, Lin Qiye once again devoured the whole roasted lamb in a flash.
He patted his belly contentedly, stood up, and took Bai Muxi's hand: "Come on, wife, let's go buy groceries!"
The two returned to the market on the school's commercial street.
On the way, Bai Muxi asked softly, "Honey, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Lin Qiye thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy a whole cow. I feel like beef has more energy."
Bai Muxi nodded, and the two of them went to that familiar beef restaurant again.
On the way, Bai Muxi looked at Lin Qiye's energetic appearance and couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Honey, can food alone really replenish our energy? Maybe... we should buy some nutrient solution? I saw online that everyone says that once your genetic potential exceeds 10%, you have to start using nutrient solution, otherwise it will affect your cultivation progress."
Lin Qiye shook his head, squeezed her hand, and reassured her, "No need for now, wife. I feel like I'm absorbing it quite well."
He thought for a moment, then added, "I don't know what's wrong with me, but it seems a little different from other people. After eating a whole lamb or a whole cow, I feel warm all over, my strength returns, and I don't feel any discomfort."
Hearing him say that, Bai Muxi could only sigh softly and say, "Alright, then you need to take good care of yourself. If you feel anything is wrong, be sure to tell me."
In fact, Lin Qiye wasn't lying; he himself didn't understand what was going on.
Is it the special effect of the new cultivation method "Hun Yuan Yi Qi Gong"? Or is it the "Radio Gymnastics" that he has cultivated to the perfect level that is subtly transforming his body?
Most likely, it's one of these two techniques.
Or perhaps... one's constitution is inherently special?
Lin Qiye shook his head, no longer dwelling on these things he couldn't understand.
Don't dwell on things you don't understand, lest you trouble yourself unnecessarily. This is a principle that Lin Qiye has always adhered to.
The two soon arrived at the familiar beef shop.
"Boss, you're here again!" The boss greeted Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi warmly as soon as he saw them.
When he saw Lin Qiye choose a huge whole cow without hesitation, the shopkeeper finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked while packing the food, "Handsome, if I may ask, have you ever asked me something? You've been eating whole cows and whole sheep for so many days in a row. Can your stomach really digest it? I've seen many new martial arts students who eat like this. They would have to go to the gastroenterology department in less than three days. Their bodies simply can't take it."
Lin Qiye patted his stomach, revealing a set of white teeth, and replied with a smile, "Sure, I feel great, digestion is no problem at all."
With that, he paid, easily dragged the packaged whole cow, weighing several hundred pounds, with one hand, turned and walked away, his steps light and effortless, as if he were only dragging a bag of cotton.
Watching Lin Qiye's departing figure, the shopkeeper subconsciously touched his bald head, muttering to himself in confusion, "How strange... how really strange... Did he cultivate some kind of unorthodox technique specifically designed to strengthen his digestive system? But to save money on nutrient solutions by practicing something like this, isn't that counterproductive and putting the cart before the horse?"
Within his limited understanding, he was completely unable to comprehend the peculiar phenomenon that had occurred to Lin Qiye.
……
After returning home, Lin Qiye continued his cultivation as soon as possible.
He only stopped, still wanting more, after the progress bar of "Hun Yuan Yi Qi Gong" had advanced more than 100 times.
I checked the time; it was almost 11:30.
The time agreed upon with Lin Yuechan was midnight.
It's time to go.
Lin Qiye changed into the combat uniform that came with him when he enrolled, greeted Bai Muxi, and then went alone to Building 10 in the core area of the school.
The campus at night was not as quiet as I had imagined.
Along the way, you can still see many students wearing various combat uniforms coming and going.
They were in a hurry, their expressions focused, some having just come from the training hall, still covered in sweat and fatigue; others were on their way to a teaching building, their eyes gleaming with a thirst for power.
"At this time of year, everyone on campus is probably a freshman like myself," Lin Qiye thought to himself. "The cultivation atmosphere here is really strong."
Arriving once again at the familiar door of room 2202, Lin Qiye gently knocked on the door.
"Come in."
It was that same clear, crisp voice.
He pushed open the door and entered, only to find that besides Lin Yuechan, there was another person in the training room.
She was a tall girl with a cool short haircut, wearing a dark red tight-fitting combat suit that perfectly outlined her youthful and energetic curves.
She was facing away from the door, asking Lin Yuechan for advice.
Hearing the door open, she and Lin Yuechan turned around together.
Lin Qiye's pupils contracted slightly.
It turned out to be Qin Xiaoxiao, whom I had met a few days ago!
