Chapter 14
: My Virginity
That night, Qiao Yuan went home and took a shower. Bao Bao came back with him and was making a fruit salad in the kitchen. Besides durian pizza and candies and desserts, Bao Bao loves fruit the most.
Especially watermelons, strawberries, and cherries.
"I'm done washing up, please step aside," he said, looking through the frosted sliding door at Yan Baobao sitting on the living room sofa eating fruit salad.
"Oh, it's not like I haven't seen it before."
"?" Qiao Yuan was taken aback. "Nonsense, when did you see that? You just talk nonsense all day long."
"Guess!" Yan Baobao walked into the bedroom with a grin, carrying a bowl of fruit salad.
Qiao Yuan opened his mouth, a little confused. Could it be that he was spied on while he was sleeping?
Surely not, even though the baby often uses wild and inappropriate language without any sense of boundaries.
He thought for a moment, and realized it must have been when he was a child at the orphanage. Hmm, he had a vague memory of it. It seemed like there was a period of time when the water was cut off during the hot summer, and then Grandma Xu let them clean up in their rooms by themselves.
Damn it! My virginity!
Who would have thought that the daring and audacious Yan Baobao from her childhood would grow up to be a genius and beautiful girl?
He's out of the bathroom now, sulking as he blow-dries his hair. What a stinky baby!
The Internet of Things in Huanxi Prefecture is already quite advanced, with holographic projection reading, flying around, and biometric DNA code recognition being commonplace.
But I've heard that the smart technology in the main city is more advanced, with features like showers, hair dryers, comprehensive health monitoring, and garbage disposal... In terms of smart homes, you hardly need to lift a finger, truly achieving technology that is people-oriented, assisting and benefiting humanity.
So he needed to buy a flight backpack, thinking about his recent battle with the vampire.
The Devil Stand is very strong, but it's a bit clumsy. When facing fast-moving enemies, it's like a big, dumb dummy, completely unable to keep up.
But don't rush. Wait until you've leveled up and made money betting at the boxing gym, then buy a new one. Anyway, you can use it when you go to Galaxy University in the third main city.
After drying his hair, Qiao Yuan went to the sofa in the living room, intending to continue practicing; he was just a little bit more to go.
"You're almost at level 5 physique, aren't you?" Yan Baobao walked out again, her bare white feet showing.
"Yes, that's right."
"So, which method of sublimation are you planning to choose?" Baby asked, sitting down next to him and handing him half of the salad. "Try it, is it good?"
Qiao Yuan took two bites: "Hmm, not bad. I might choose the same one as you, Destiny Ascension."
Yan Baobao couldn't help but smile: "As expected of my younger brother, he likes challenges just like me."
"Ah, but I haven't decided on the sequence path yet. We'll talk about it later," Qiao Yuan said with a smile. "I won't play games with you tonight. I want to level up as soon as possible. I feel like things are a bit chaotic in Huanxi Prefecture lately."
"Okay," Yan Baobao nodded, "Recently, the Zero Clan Alliance has been causing trouble again. Those guys are so annoying. I won't bother you anymore."
After the baby went back to his room to play games, Qiao Yuan got up and went to the balcony to practice the Linghe Dasanshou (a martial arts technique).
He went to sleep at midnight, less than three hours in total. It's always better to go to bed early and get up early.
I slept until the afternoon the past two days, and the day passed by in a flash.
Although the time was short, my physique still increased by 0.02, and I feel that the improvement speed is getting faster and faster.
Because during the daytime at Linghe Martial Arts School, the same three hours increased by 0.02, but now it takes less than three hours, whereas two days ago it took four hours.
This feels amazing!
Now we're just 0.05 short.
The following day, August 6th, was a Friday.
He didn't go out today and stayed home practicing martial arts. He had probably reached the breakthrough stage, so his speed had slowed down a bit, but by dusk, Qiao Yuan had still successfully reached level 5 physique.
Phew, it's finally done!
He muttered to himself, first sending a message to Teacher Wang, then going to take a shower because it was so hot.
"Congratulations, Qiao Yuan. Unfortunately, the headmaster has a dinner engagement tonight. If you're not in a hurry, come to the martial arts school at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to collect your Destiny Ascension Elixir. I'll be waiting for you there."
After taking a shower, Qiao Yuan immediately checked Teacher Wang's voice reply. All done.
For others, reaching level 5 in physique is a step up to the next level of sublimation, but for him it's very different. Sublimation is just the foundation. Opening up the future timeline and increasing the number of times he enters the timeline each day is the most important thing. Just thinking about it is exciting.
I'm going to play games with my baby tonight!
He doesn't actually like pure horror games, the kind without weapons where you constantly have to dodge evil spirits and monsters. But he's quite enthusiastic about horror games with weapons where you can fight back. It has to be said that in many ways, his interests and hobbies are very compatible with Yan Baobao's.
Thinking this, Qiao Yuan sent a message to the baby, then took out an ice cream from the refrigerator, finally able to relax.
[Baby: Wait for me! I'll be home soon!]
"Huh?" He couldn't help but chuckle, picking up his phone to reply, "You left early?"
He was very clear about one thing: although his baby liked playing video games, he preferred playing with him.
"How could that be? I'm leaving get off work at a normal time. Do you expect me to come home late every day? Humph!"
"No, you're always talking nonsense, but I did get up early today," Qiao Yuan said with a smile. "Have you eaten yet?"
Yan Baobao said with a grin, "We just finished eating. The captain treated us. We had the famous beef and pineapple buns and crab roe noodles from the Rhine Commercial District. They were super delicious! Do you want some? I'll bring some back for you."
"Okay," Qiao Yuan readily agreed.
He remembered that crab roe noodles; he recalled that Hu Tu had mentioned it before. It was made with real crab roe, but it was a bit pricey, costing over two hundred yuan a bowl.
While waiting for his baby to come home, he checked the Jianghai Boxing Gym's schedule for tomorrow.
After the martial arts school upgrades tomorrow morning, he will go directly to the boxing gym to place bets and make money.
[10 AM on the 7th: Rising Star of the Streetball Match, rookie Zhou Buhui challenges a gauntlet battle.]
[Noon on the 7th: Amateur Grand Finale - Adam, 12-Win Streak, vs. Matador.]
It seems he's lucky; he'll choose the ultimate showdown. The greater his fame, the more people will bet, and the higher the bet amount will be.
Simply put, he would be even more inconspicuous and unnoticed in such a lively event.
Anyway, keeping a low profile is not a bad thing.
Twenty minutes later, Yan Baobao arrived home carrying hot crab roe noodles and beef pineapple buns. She hung the silver sword on the wall, patiently unpacked the mecha, and her long pink hair cascaded over her snow-white shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance.
"Eat up, I'm going to take a shower first."
Qiao Yuan nodded. Even before opening the fast food box, he could already smell the very strong aroma of crab roe.
And then there's the beef and pineapple bun, it's huge! The fresh, savory braised beef and the sweet and sour pineapple go perfectly together. One bite and it's bursting with juice, it tastes a bit like sweet and sour pork with pineapple, and the bun is also very chewy.
He finished the meal in a little over fifteen minutes, even drinking all the broth from the crab roe noodles. He was sweating profusely, feeling quite full and satisfied.
It's just getting dark, not even seven o'clock yet.
After Yan Baobao finished his bath and dried his hair, the first thing I did was drag him to play video games.
Before I knew it, I was working until the early hours of the morning.
When Qiao Yuan woke up in the morning, he realized that he had indeed been quite lazy these past two days.
It's already 10 o'clock.
He first sent a message to Teacher Wang, and then slowly got up to wash up.
It seems that ever since I gained this ability to travel to the past and future, I feel inexplicably relaxed. I no longer practice day and night like I did in my senior year of high school, nor do I work myself to death like I did during last month's summer vacation.
Although I've always longed for level 5 physique and unlocking future timelines, I'm still quite relaxed.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like the entire universe is an inexhaustible treasure trove, and sooner or later it will all be his.
"It's alright, I'm teaching students, you can come anytime. I have some good news for you, the GG effect is very significant, the number of young people signing up has increased dramatically in the last two days, the curator is very happy."
Qiao Yuan clicked on Teacher Wang's reply. He put on a simple white plaid shirt, changed into his basketball jersey, and stepped out of his house. It was time to go and see the future.
