Chapter 60 - 59: Zhou Li and the Alley Shop
Chen Sheng wanted to hear more from Shen Ziming.
But at this moment,
A rhythmic thumping sound was heard from above the heads of the two men.
“Zi Ming, it’s ready.”
Shen Ziming looked up.
“Brother Chen, it seems we must part ways again.”
Suddenly, he covered his mouth, coughing violently.
He removed his hand and revealed a shocking streak of blood.
“You’re not going to die, are you? Then I would have come here for nothing.”
Chen Sheng hurriedly went to support him.
“Don’t worry, my life is cheap, I’m sure to live long.”
Shen Ziming smiled brilliantly, seemingly confident in his own words.
“For some time, I will need to go to other cities to find something that can cure my family’s genetic disease.”
“We may not see each other for a while.”
At this point, Shen Ziming’s smile faded.
He looked at Chen Sheng seriously.
“Once the real chaos begins, the official attitude toward Qi-sensors will not be as tolerant as it is now.”
“If you don’t want to be controlled by others, or become a broken wreck under the impact of the sweeping tidal wave of the times.” “Become stronger, Brother Chen.” “Use every means to become strong as fast as possible.” With that, Shen Ziming smiled again.
“Don’t let me have no chance to repay the favor you did me.”
“Just take care of yourself.”
Chen Sheng waved his hand.
Although he also wanted to talk more with Shen Ziming, to inquire about Heavenly People, the Tide Rising Period, and Qi-sensors.
But now is not the right time.
He also had to hurry back to the city and pretend that nothing had happened.
The two men left the basement.
A dark- skinned fisherman couple was waiting above.
“Zi Ming, I’ve prepared the boat.”
The middle-aged man looked worriedly at the somewhat weak Shen Ziming.
“Thank you, Uncle Liu.”
Shen Ziming nodded, preparing to follow the man and leave by boat.
According to Shen Ziming,
He used to live nearby for a while and had some dealings with this family.
That’s why they were willing to help them. “Brother Chen, we’ll meet again.”
Shen Ziming waved goodbye to Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng did not speak but nodded silently.
After the couple left with Shen Ziming, Chen Sheng also turned his gaze away.
Next,
He too should return to the city and take care of his own business.
As long as he becomes strong enough,
No matter what changes happen in the world, he will be able to deal with it calmly.
With that thought,
Chen Sheng’s eyes flashed with determination.
He also left the cabin.
He glanced at Shen Ziming’s retreating figure.
He turned and went in the other direction.
Afternoon.
Chen Sheng returned to the city as quickly as possible, and on the way back, he picked up the weighted steel bars he had hidden in a secluded corner one by one.
After getting rid of the clothes, he immediately headed to the gym.
Upon arriving, the time was not much different from when he usually arrived after lunch.
As usual,
He left immediately after working out at the gym.
Standing beside the road, Chen Sheng looked at his current attributes.
Today, for the entire morning, he had maintained the operation of the Three-Body Technique.
It was time to see,
how big the attribute improvement of the Perfect Three-Body Technique was for him.
At this look,
Chen Sheng’s eyes widened in surprise.
[Chen Sheng] [Strength: 4.13] [Agility: 4-41] [Constitution: 4-37]
[Skill Points: 2.09]
Strength increased by 0.5
Agility increased by 0.5
Constitution increased the most, a full 0.68.
Overall attributes have all broken through the four-point barrier.
According to the standard that the gap widens as you advance in realm, Hidden Energy Warriors have a strength and constitution increase of 0.5 for each stage.
Now, Chen Sheng can be considered a Hidden Energy Five-stage Martial Artist.
One more step, when he reaches 5 points in attributes, he can upgrade the Five Elements Fist and advance to Transforming Power.
This was just the improvement within half a day’s time.
Now, apart from feeling very hungry, Chen Sheng did not feel too much fatigue.
Looking at the massive improvement, his breathing couldn’t help but become somewhat rapid.
Tomorrow.
As long as tomorrow came, he could reach the level of Transforming Power.
At that time, he could officially start practicing Eagle’s Breath.
By the way, he would see if this breathing technique was indeed as mysterious as Shen Ziming said it was.
Chen Sheng picked up his thermos and took a big swig of Vitality Soup, barely suppressing his excitement.
Next, he did not plan to go home directly.
Yesterday, Shen Ziming left the whereabouts of the second half of the Eagle’s Breath in his letter.
Chen Sheng wanted to check out the situation first.
If he could get it easily, that would be great.
But if there were any conditions or special channels required, it would be better to know earlier and find a way.
With that in mind,
He took out his phone to navigate and entered the address Shen Ziming gave.
The address was in the Port District, 11 kilometers away from here.
For Chen Sheng at present, this was just a piece of cake.
Without any delay, he started running.
Half an hour later.
Port District, in an old alley.
“Navigation ended. ”
“Your destination has been reached, on your left.”
“Thank you for using Unethical Map. Looking forward to meeting you again.”
Following the navigation instructions, Chen Sheng looked to his left.
A puzzled look quickly appeared on his face.
“Yang Army Food Nine Store?!”
This was an old, dilapidated store.
The red billboard seemed to be covered with a layer of light gray.
Even the characters representing the store’s name had fallen off quite a bit.
It took him a while,
Before Chen Sheng finally determined the name of the store.
It was not Yang Army Food Nine Store.
It was Yinghui Grocery Store.
At this moment,
Chen Sheng seriously doubted that the Unethical Map had scammed him.
From any angle,
This place did not seem to have the second half of Eagle’s Breath.
But since he was here already,
Chen Sheng decided to ask anyway.
With that thought,
He pulled open the glass door and stepped in.
“Hello, is anyone here—cough cough!”
As soon as he entered,
The musty smell that hit his face made the keen-sensed Chen Sheng almost lose his breath.
In an instant,
He felt as if he was in an old house in a deserted village.
After coughing a few times, Chen Sheng gradually recovered his senses.
He looked around,
And saw rusty iron shelves and somewhat moldy wooden tables.
Various bottles and jars were placed on the iron shelves, which seemed to be food materials.
However,
All these bottles and jars had a thick layer of dust on their surfaces.
Chen Sheng seriously doubted their production dates.
Thud!
“Someone’s here! Wait for me!”
At this moment,
From the depths of the small store, the sound of crashing and painful groans came from behind the counter.
Slap!
A hand as thin as an eagle’s claw rested on the glass counter.
“Oh, my old back—”
Then,
An old man wearing a thick cotton jacket and pants, with a slightly hunched figure, slowly emerged. As soon as he saw Chen Sheng,
He immediately showed a smile.
The wrinkles on his face were instantly squeezed together, making it somewhat hair-raising to look at.
“What do you want to buy, lad?”
The old man leaned on the counter, iron shelf, and table, holding his waist, and slowly approached Chen Sheng. This made Chen Sheng’s eyelids jump.
At the same time.
With the effect of the Eye of True View,
The old man’s attributes appeared before Chen Sheng.
