: Being Watched

It was 10 p.m. when Qiao Yuan was slightly out of breath, wiping away the sweat in the air-conditioned room, preparing to take a shower. Today, he not only practiced standing meditation, but also practiced the Linghe Dasanshou for a while. Excluding meals, it took him six and a half hours, and his physique increased by 0.04, bringing his physique directly to 4.91, which was very close to level 5.

He's only 0.09 points away from completion, and he expects it to be completed the day after tomorrow. The improvement is happening faster than he imagined.

Just yesterday, he practiced for four hours and only increased by 0.02, but now he has increased by 0.04 in six and a half hours. The benefits brought by ancient martial arts are still continuing, as are the effects of the Eternal Great Luo.

This seemingly minor change is actually equivalent to a tenfold increase over the past!

A real leap forward.

If he had this speed before the college entrance exam, he would have already achieved a second-order sublimation, or even a first-order sublimation.

The baby came home early tonight, around 8 pm, and started playing games in his room.

At this moment, Qiao Yuan, soaking wet, went to take a shower. He felt that since learning ancient martial arts, his energy and spirit were different. It was really a win.

"Is Qiao Yuan going to play games later?"

"Hit me, wait for me."

He responded to the baby's words, but in his heart he was thinking about his next plan. Now he could easily learn from the baby, so in the future, the possibilities would be even greater.

Of course, he also knew that there would always be some powers that were difficult to comprehend, after all, he had the talent, but that should change as his rank rose.

Qiao Yuan hummed a little tune as he took a shower, feeling increasingly that the future was simply too wonderful to be true. At least he wouldn't have to worry about making money anymore.

If you lack talent, make up for it with money.

If you don't have any help, then throw money at it.

There's nothing money can't solve; if there is, then double it.

Other things involving personal connections can also be obtained by traveling to the past and future, but this is not simple. For example, knowing the secret of a big shot, obtaining evidence of a noblewoman's infidelity, or even simultaneously grasping the weaknesses of two forces and causing them to kill each other. In short... there are many ways, we'll talk about them later.

After showering, Qiao Yuan dried his hair and went to Yan Baobao's bedroom to continue playing the horror game from last night. Today's game started in a small town, where they needed to find the source of the fog. While playing, Baobao muttered, "Have you found a job yet? Why don't you join my team? Don't you have that demon substitute? You can just be my assistant, it'll be easy."

Qiao Yuan chuckled as he listened, "What's wrong? Is the atmosphere in the team bad? But that guy really wasn't up to par last time."

"He's so annoying, are you coming or not? When we get to Galaxy University in the third main city, I'm going to be the captain of the Ember Bureau, and everyone will listen to me then."

"Then I want to be the vice-captain."

"Okay, it's a deal. We'll be a team of just the two of us, no one else," Yan Baobao said with a very happy smile. "It's good that we don't cause any trouble lately. Anyway, I'll figure out how to make money if we don't have enough."

"Don't worry, I made two thousand yuan from the lost and found notices yesterday, and I also met Mr. Wang. I got another ten thousand yuan for free at the White Crane Martial Arts School."

"Fine, I'll protect you, sis."

The baby seems especially happy tonight. It's definitely more comfortable at home; it's so nice to be fed by a mistress.

He and the baby played until late at night, then he fell into a deep sleep and almost missed taking pictures of GG.

It is 8 PM on August 5th.

After having a quick bite at home, Qiao Yuan changed into white basketball shoes and hurriedly went out.

Actually, he envied Yan Baobao's energy. She often went to bed at two or three in the morning, but could still easily report to the Ember Bureau at nine in the morning...

He discovered back in the orphanage that Yan Baobao was different from ordinary children; her talent, comprehension, and energy were all extremely amazing.

From childhood to adulthood, he rarely saw his baby tired, and he was never sick. His whole body seemed to have inexhaustible energy, and the older he got, the more vigorous that youthful vitality became.

Therefore, an ordinary first-tier ascendant has a physique of around level 10, but the baby already has a physique of level 17.

That's terrifying.

He remembered that his senior year homeroom teacher, as a second-stage ascendant, only had a level 15 physique.

Qiao Yuan chose to walk the one-kilometer distance, even though it made him a little late.

The main problem is the distance. There's no station on the suspended subway, at least not at the Moon Platform. And if you take a taxi, the starting fare is 15 yuan, which is ridiculously expensive.

When they arrived at the White Crane Martial Arts School, there were seven people in total, including Lin Ya and a few other students. Two of the boys seemed a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything.

Only Director Li's son, Li Haoran, kept cursing and swearing: "Damn it, you made so many of us wait for you? Do you think you're a big star?"

"I've already slept in," Qiao Yuan said calmly.

The burly Li Haoran was even more annoyed. He twisted his neck and sneered, "Can't you set an alarm clock, you idiot! What are you pretending for!"

"I'm talking to you, you brat!"

Qiao Yuan frowned slightly: "They're not in a hurry, why are you? It's not like you're the one who's going to die and just wait for the martial arts school to collect disciples and count the money."

"Shut up!" Li Haoran was increasingly annoyed with Qiao Yuan, and in his anger, he threw a punch.

Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Qiao Yuan was about to dodge when he saw Lin Ya move even faster. She grabbed Li Haoran's arm and pushed him away, using his own strength to neutralize the opponent's surprise attack.

"Haoran, aren't you annoying? You're so immature, always acting on impulse." Lin Ya looked at Li Haoran with disappointment and disdain.

Li Haoran's face flushed red, and he said irritably, "What's it to you? So what if I got into Galaxy University? Pfft!"

As Director Li came out and coughed twice, Li Haoran immediately left without looking back.

It seemed that the other party must have failed the college entrance examination back then, but Qiao Yuan didn't care. He went straight to the changing room and changed into the black martial arts uniform required for the shoot, which was embroidered with white crane patterns.

Before the shoot, Lin Ya leaned closer again: "Aren't you going to thank me? No need to thank me, we can just stand in the center later, hehe."

"No, the baby will be jealous." Qiao Yuan shook his head. If it weren't for the fact that he was getting something for free.

Lin Ya was stunned: "You?! You two really are in a sibling relationship. Li Haoran should have beaten you up just now."

Qiao Yuan was somewhat speechless, but ultimately said nothing. In any case, he had drawn a line, which would save him from future trouble.

After filming GG as scheduled, he accepted the invitation from the headmaster to give some pointers to the disciples at the martial arts school along with other students, demonstrating the Ape God Stance.

The main benefit is that dinner is provided!

A nutritious meal costs 100 yuan.

Lin Ya left immediately, after all, she was just a rich young woman trying to experience the thrill of dating.

He was quite happy and at ease, but the only downside was that he couldn't practice the Spirit Crane Great Scattered Hand here.

But it doesn't matter, they can all improve physical fitness.

Before he knew it, it was 7 p.m., and with his physique increasing by another 0.02, Qiao Yuan left the White Crane Martial Arts School feeling refreshed. He was now 0.07 short of his goal.

On the way, he was on the phone with Hu Tu when he suddenly turned his head subconsciously, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Feed Qiao Yuan? What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, but it seems like we've been targeted by that serial vampire killer," Qiao Yuan frowned slightly.

In the instant he turned his head, he used the crisis as an anchor point to enter the past timeline and saw a vampire lurking in the nearby alley. It was over two meters tall and incredibly large.

"What?" Hu Tu exclaimed in surprise on the other end of the phone, "Hey, don't scare me! Call the police! I remember that thing is very dangerous; it can even kill a first-tier Ascension cultivator."
