Chapter 126 Feng Shuangshuang
The girl with the high ponytail stood outside the shop counter, terrified, and lingered for a long time.
At this moment, the shop owner couldn't help but say, "Young lady, since you are a member of the first phase of the genius training camp, there's no reason why you don't have any good friends who practice martial arts together."
"Just borrow a few thousand points from your classmates or friends. You can pay them back in a few days when the points are issued. Are you really that embarrassed to ask?"
"Boss, I really don't have many classmates or friends, otherwise—could you lend me a few thousand points?"
"I'll return it to you as soon as I collect my monthly base points in a few days. I can leave my student ID with you as collateral," the girl with the high ponytail said.
The shopkeeper said helplessly, "I really want to lend it to you, but I don't have any points from the Martial Arts Association."
All points earned from the goods sold in the store are credited to the Martial Arts Association's superbrain system, and Star Yuan are settled uniformly at the end of the month.
I think you should borrow some points from your friends or classmates. There are no small matters in martial arts training; don't be too shy to ask.
A bitter expression flashed across the pretty face of the girl with the high ponytail.
Was she too shy to ask? She genuinely couldn't borrow it!
Outside the shop, Zhao Hu asked curiously, "Chen Lie, why aren't you leaving?"
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Chen Lie didn't say much, but when he saw the girl with the high ponytail within ten meters, he felt quite emotional.
"However, it's not exactly a coincidence. During this period, she had already participated in a six-month talent training camp, so it's a medium-probability event that she could run into her at the trading venue."
Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Zhao Hu quickly followed Chen Lie.
When Chen Lie entered the shop, the shop owner, seeing that someone had come in again, quickly stepped forward to greet him: "See if you need anything. The shop has all kinds of spiritual herbs, tonics, and elixirs."
Chen Lie walked straight to the counter without looking to either side, pointing to the Spirit Blood Red Lotus on it: "Is this a three-hundred-year-old spiritual herb?"
The shop owner replied, "That's right, this is the Spirit Blood Red Lotus, a type of spiritual medicine that replenishes energy. It's a rare item among spiritual medicines of the same level, and sometimes we can only get one every two or three months."
Chen Lie said "Oh," and took the Spirit Blood Red Lotus in his hand to examine it closely. It was a red lotus that was twice the size of his fist.
The girl with the high ponytail next to her saw that the elixir she desperately needed had been chosen by someone else, and she couldn't help but clench her fists secretly.
"What's the deal with these two Tier 2 beast cores?" Chen Lie asked.
"Oh, this is what the young lady picked out. She probably wants to buy spiritual herbs and beast pills to refine her qi and blood and increase her strength," the shopkeeper replied.
"Are two Tier 2 beast cores enough to refine your Qi and blood?" Chen Lie asked.
The shop owner said, "The students in the first phase of the Genius Training Camp have at least 400 kcal of Qi and Blood. Two pieces of second-tier exotic beast meat are indeed not enough. Not even buying medicinal bath liquid is really stingy."
This is quite normal. Young people these days have almost zero self-control. As soon as they receive their monthly basic points, they can't help but spend lavishly, let alone save up points. Since they haven't received their monthly basic points yet, they naturally don't have enough points to buy a basic qi-refining package.
Chen Lie grunted and said, "Give me this 300-year-old Spirit Blood Red Lotus, and also, bring me ten more pieces of second-tier exotic beast meat."
"The body-refining elixir, along with a combination of various spiritual herbs needed to refine qi and blood, and all other resources must be identical."
"Okay!" The shopkeeper casually asked, "You're only refining your Qi and Blood without increasing your Qi and Blood value? Would you like to add a spiritual herb that increases Qi and Blood value?"
Chen Lie said, "Then recommend one to me."
"I noticed that other members of the first cohort of the genius training camp, while honing their qi and blood, also requested a spiritual herb over a hundred years old to enhance their qi and blood values. How about I give you a hundred-year-old spiritual herb, the best-selling one?"
"Okay!" Chen Lie nodded.
The shop owner did the math and said, "These martial arts resources are worth a total of 37,800 points."
"Wrap it up, swipe your card!"
As he spoke, Chen Lie handed the student card for the genius training camp to the shop owner.
The shop owner took Chen Lie's student card, swiped it on the device with a "beep," and the card was successfully swiped.
After paying the points, the shop owner returned Chen Lie's student card to Chen Lie and instructed the shop staff to pack up the martial arts resources Chen Lie had just purchased.
The girl with the high ponytail standing next to him couldn't help but marvel at Chen Lie's wealth and power.
Nearly 40,000 points were spent in the blink of an eye.
Keep in mind, those are the base points for two months of the genius training camp.
After the initial surprise, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. The elixir she desperately needed had now been bought by someone else.
So she had no choice but to settle for second best, since the rare Spirit Blood Red Lotus, a spiritual medicine that replenishes energy, only appears once a month or so in the trading market.
She couldn't possibly wait a month.
"Hello, these are the martial arts resources you just purchased."
At this moment, the staff finished packing and handed a series of martial arts resources to Chen Lie.
Chen Lie didn't reach out to take it, but pointed to the girl with the high ponytail next to him and said, "Just give it to her!"
Hearing Chen Lie's words, the staff member was puzzled, but still gave the resources to the girl with the high ponytail next to him.
"Huh? What are you going to do with these resources?"
The girl with the high ponytail looked puzzled, her pretty eyes fixed on Chen Lie.
Chen Lie said, "You don't have enough points, so consider these resources a loan from me."
"But—you want too much. These body-refining elixirs and century-old spiritual herbs are not what I need."
"Also, of the ten Tier 2 beast cores, I only need two," the girl with the high ponytail said.
"How can you achieve great things in martial arts training if you're so stingy?"
"Take everything. Martial arts training isn't something you can cut back on." Chen Lie said.
The girl with the high ponytail thought to herself: Do you think I want to be stingy?
She wanted to spend her points lavishly, but she was short of money.
How can someone as wealthy and powerful as you be compared to someone else?
Despite thinking this way, the girl with the high ponytail said in a low voice, "But—there are too many points, I'm afraid I can't return them to you in a short time."
"I'm not in a hurry. Let's talk about it when you have more money." Chen Lie waved his hand.
The girl with the high ponytail couldn't help but recall when she had ever been financially well-off since joining the genius training camp.
Why did you lend me so many points? I don't think I know you.
"Aren't you afraid I'll run away?" the girl with the high ponytail asked.
"You don't recognize me?" Chen Lie asked.
"Have we met before?"
"My name is Feng Shuangshuang, don't mistake me for someone else," the girl with the high ponytail said quickly.
Chen Lie nodded and said, "I've given you the resources. Enough said, let's go!"
"Um—I'll give you my contact information. You can come to me anytime to collect your debt. However, I might not be able to return these points to you within two months. But I can pay you back in installments, 10,000 points each month," Feng Shuangshuang said.
"I told you I'm not in a hurry. While maintaining the resources for martial arts, you can return them to me when you have tens of thousands of points." Chen Lie waved his hand.
Feng Shuangshuang gave a bitter smile.
Is it possible to accumulate tens of thousands of points while maintaining martial arts resources?
Since entering the genius training camp, her points have always been insufficient to cover her income.
Feng Shuangshuang borrowed a pen and paper from the shop owner, wrote down her contact information on the paper, and handed it to Chen Lie.
"This is my contact information. My name is Feng Shuangshuang, and I'm from the second training department of the training camp. I will definitely repay the points I owe you."
Chen Lie took the paper from Feng Shuangshuang, put it in his pocket, and walked out of the shop.
"Um—although I don't want so many resources, thank you anyway, goodbye!"
Feng Shuangshuang caught up with Chen Lie, and after saying those words, she turned around and left the side street carrying a lot of martial arts resources.
"Brother Chen Lie, are you always this arrogant when you hit on girls from Shantou?"
Tens of thousands of points, just spend them like that?
As Zhao Hu stepped out of the shop, he couldn't help but be astonished.
Chen Lie only said one sentence: "What do you know?"
"That's right, I'm not rolling in money, of course I wouldn't understand."
Zhao Hu knew that Chen Lie was now worth millions of points, so spending tens of thousands was nothing to him.
However, if he had a million points, he definitely wouldn't want to spend them on others, not even the prettiest girl.
If it were a stranger, no matter how beautiful the girl was, Chen Lie wouldn't care.
However, according to seniority, Chen Lie should call Feng Shuangshuang his cousin.
Feng Shuangshuang is the daughter of Chen Lie's maternal uncle, and her mother, Feng Yuelan, is her aunt.
Chen Lie still remembers that in the second half of his senior year of high school in his previous life, because his progress in martial arts was slow, his mother, Feng Yuelan, specially went back to her parents' home and invited Feng Shuangshuang, who had already received an admission notice from Blue Star University, to her home to tutor him in martial arts for more than half a month.
In her previous life, Feng Shuangshuang always presented herself as a serious and unsmiling older sister to Chen Lie, giving him the feeling of a mother figure and always communicating with him in a lecturing tone.
Although Feng Shuangshuang was less than a year older than Chen Lie, in the eyes of their relatives and family, Feng Shuangshuang was already a mature adult, while Chen Lie at that time was just a child who did not understand much.
During those two weeks, Feng Shuangshuang did indeed dedicate herself to instructing Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao, the brother and sister, in martial arts.
Without Feng Shuangshuang's tutoring for half a month, Chen Lie would not have been able to get into the martial arts university in his previous life.
In this life, I never imagined that my stern cousin from my past life would be in such a predicament, struggling to accumulate enough points.
It seems that the genius girl whom her uncle and aunt praised so highly in her previous life was not as smooth sailing as they said, but rather full of hardships and disappointments in the genius training camp.
Chen Lie thought it was normal that Feng Shuangshuang didn't recognize him, because he and Feng Shuangshuang didn't have much interaction at the moment.
The two had a lot of contact when they were seven or eight years old. However, as they got older, Feng Shuangshuang was busy with martial arts training, and Chen Lie was too lazy to visit his uncle's family with his mother during the Spring Festival, so they had much less interaction.
Chen Lie remembered that the last time he met Feng Shuangshuang was about three or four years ago.
Three or four years have passed; teenagers are in a period of rapid growth, so changes in appearance are normal. Besides, Chen Lie is practicing the "Dragon Nirvana Technique."
Youcheng's aura kept changing, and Feng Shuangshuang couldn't help but think it was normal for him to be like this.
If it weren't for the half-month memory from his previous life, Chen Lie might not have recognized Feng Shuangshuang.
After walking around the trading street, Chen Lie used over 40,000 points to buy a martial arts treasure for improving his Qi and blood.
After leaving the trading venue, Chen Lie's 120 million points were reduced to only 112 million.
He thought to himself that a million points seemed like a lot, but they wouldn't last long.
Now that his Qi and blood levels have increased, these points can be used to cultivate the "Dragon Nirvana Technique" three times at most.
However, after three uses of the Dragon Rebirth Technique, Chen Lie's blood and qi will definitely reach an unbelievable level.
By then, even if we don't talk about the whole province, he will definitely be hard to beat in this talent training camp.
After having dinner with Zhao Hu at the training camp's restaurant, Chen Lie returned to his dormitory.
The next day, Chen Lie did not go to the training ground with Zhao Hu. He came to the Genius Training Camp only for resources and the martial arts instructors there.
There was nothing I could teach him.
In his dormitory room, Chen Lie moved all the tables in the small living room around, clearing out an open space of more than 20 square meters.
Chen Lie took out the martial arts treasures he had purchased at the trading market and ate them raw.
Immediately afterwards, he began practicing the "Basic Body Tempering Technique".
Since practicing the "Dragon Rebirth Technique", Chen Lie has never practiced the "Basic Body Tempering Technique" again, because the effects of the "Dragon Rebirth Technique" far exceed those of this basic body tempering technique.
However, because the "Dragon Nirvana Technique" was too domineering, Chen Lie did not make sufficient preparations in terms of cultivation resources and could only use the "Basic Body Forging Technique".
Since Chen Lie's Qi and Blood values are now vastly different from before, he immediately used the seventh form of the Basic Body Tempering technique.
The seventh form of the basic body-strengthening technique has a total of 86 movements, which Chen Lie performed in one go.
Soon, Chen Lie felt his blood and qi surging violently within his body.
The martial arts treasures he had eaten raw slowly dissolved in Chen Lie's stomach.
Chen Lie used his divine sense to investigate his cultivation progress.
This was his first time using a martial arts treasure that enhanced the types of Qi and blood, and he was surprised to find that the effects of the martial arts treasure were indeed incomparable to those of a five-hundred-year-old elixir.
As his qi and blood circulated and surged, Chen Lie's qi and blood rapidly increased in strength.
After practicing the seventh basic body-strengthening technique four or five times, Chen Lie discovered that he had only digested less than a third of the energy brought by the martial arts treasure.
So Chen Lie directly used the eighth move, "Basic Body Tempering Technique".
The eighth movement of the "Basic Body Strengthening Technique" consists of 95 movements, which Chen Lie performed in sequence.
His divine sense instantly detected that the speed at which his blood and qi were increasing was more than 1.5 times faster than before.
Chen Lie practiced the eighth form of the Basic Body Tempering Technique ten times, which took him more than three hours to fully digest the energy of the martial arts treasure.
"I wonder how many units of Qi and Blood I can gain from this martial arts treasure."
With one million Martial Arts Association points, and if he could find a way to get more points, Chen Lie's Qi and Blood value would soon break four digits, reaching the first extreme realm of Qi and Blood, "Qi and Blood Like Porridge."
