Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Going This Far?

Originally, Jiang Yuan had wanted to save his 33 survival points for emergencies.

But when he started studying, he found that his brain simply wasn't enough.

It wasn't that his IQ was insufficient; spirit wasn't the same as IQ, but rather the degree of mental clarity.

According to Jiang Yuan's understanding, spirit was equivalent to a processor. The stronger the processor, the more information it could receive and process instantly.

Naturally, the learning speed would also be faster.

After adding 3 survival points, the learning effect was better.

At least he basically understood everything Wang Rou had said.

After resting for about another half hour, Chi Zhongyue began to teach him disguise.

Disguise wasn't about applying makeup or changing one's appearance.

Although there was some connection, it wasn't much!

In a studio.

Chi Zhongyue's beautiful little face was very serious as she slowly said: "Disguise is actually acting. Act as a believer, act until you yourself believe that you are a true demon believer, and then you've succeeded halfway."

Wang Dama's image couldn't help but appear in Jiang Yuan's mind.

During those several tests, Jiang Yuan had to admit that he had been truly frightened by Wang Dama, really thinking that she was a believer who could take his life at any moment.

"Let's start directly."

Chi Zhongyue said: "Let's start with the simplest. I don't need you to act as a believer for now; that's too difficult for you."

"Hmm... you can act as a suitor!"

"Starting from tomorrow, you are my suitor, pursuing me frantically."

"When I can't see even a trace of acting in you, we can move on to the next topic."

"This afternoon, you should read first. If you don't understand anything, ask me. That's all for now."

Chi Zhongyue pointed to a book in front of Jiang Yuan and said.

A suitor?

Going this far?

Jiang Yuan scratched his head, somewhat distressed.

He... had never pursued anyone before!

He had never even liked someone before, so how could he pursue?

This task was nothing short of epic for him.

But what could he do? He had to do it.

At most, he could go online later to cram this kind of knowledge.

Not thinking more about it, he picked up the book and started reading.

This was a book teaching how to act and how to improve acting skills.

Soon, Jiang Yuan entered a state of study.

...

In the evening, there was another extremely sumptuous meal.

But because Jiang Yuan was about to have physical training, he couldn't eat much.

He just drank some rice soup and went to physical training.

The evening physical training only included running ten kilometers, and the rest of the time was spent on squats, barbells, and other equipment.

He only stopped when he felt that his hands and feet weren't his own anymore.

Then Wang Rou treated his wounds and used medicinal wine to massage Jiang Yuan.

The purpose of the massage was to activate the aching muscles and blood circulation, and also to prevent Jiang Yuan's muscles from becoming too exaggerated.

Having muscles that were visible when undressed but not bulky when clothed was actually best in terms of combat, because it would be more flexible.

Jiang Yuan, who was from Earth, deeply understood this. Almost none of the true martial arts masters were particularly bulky.

When eight o'clock came, Lin Le prepared a sumptuous dinner and late-night snack.

Hu Zhengfeng also came at this time, only Wang Dama was still nowhere to be seen.

"Come, come, Jiang Yuan, welcome again!"

"In the future, whether we can destroy idols and kill Demon Sons and Demon Daughters depends on you!"

At the dinner table, Lin Le, who had the most lively personality, held a full glass of beer, put his arm around Jiang Yuan's shoulder, and said with a big grin.

On the other side, Xiao Fengyu wasn't to be outdone. When sitting down, he could still put his arm around Jiang Yuan's shoulder.

Also putting his arm around Jiang Yuan's shoulder, raising his beer glass, and flipping his bangs, he said loudly: "Don't say anything else, drink this glass of wine. From now on, I'll give you the title of the most handsome in Sushan City. I won't compete with you!"

Lin Le sneered: "As if you could compete. With your small build, without looking at your face, you'd be rubbed into the dirt."

Xiao Fengyu immediately: "What? I'm still more handsome than you!"

"Not convinced? Want to practice?"

Lin Le immediately shrank his neck and stopped talking.

If we were to talk about the lowest creature in the entire Second Squad, it would definitely be Lin Le.

Because he was the only member besides Jiang Yuan who hadn't entered the ranks.

The key was that he had been a member for more than two years, but not only hadn't entered the ranks, but his various qualities were also mediocre.

Jiang Yuan really liked this atmosphere. He clinked glasses with the two of them and drank it all in one go.

Across from him, Hu Zhengfeng also drank the beer in his glass in one gulp, then reminded: "You can only drink three glasses at most."

"If Jiang Yuan encounters an attack from Xiong Yong on his way back later, and you're all drunk, that would be the end."

Pausing, he then looked at Lin Le with a expression and angrily reprimanded: "And you, how long have you been in our Second Squad?"

"Almost two and a half years, right?"

"You're still the same as when you came in."

"Your strength, endurance, speed, and combat skills haven't improved at all. Are you really not planning to improve your physical fitness?"

Lin Le smiled awkwardly: "Well, it's not that. I've been spending all my time learning other skills..."

"Besides, when I enter the ranks someday, with the nourishment of redemption power, I can still become very strong!"

Hu Zhengfeng's teeth hurt from anger: "With the nourishment of redemption power, you can neglect improving your own qualities?"

"Don't you know that at the same level, the higher your qualities, the stronger your combat power?"

"An entry-level strong person who their strength, endurance, speed, and combat skills can take on five or six of you!"

"Starting from tomorrow, you also..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Le immediately raised his glass to interrupt, smiling flatteringly: "Let's drink, drink. Isn't that what you're here for, Captain!"

"There's also Chi Zhongyue, Xiao Fengyu is strong, and Sister Rou has strong combat power. I'll just be a full-time Supporter in peace. I think that's good."

"Oh, oh, Captain, don't say anymore. I respect you all!"

He tilted his head back and drank the beer in one gulp, making a gurgling sound.

The others all shook their heads.

Hu Zhengfeng also to say more.

Although everyone was in the same team.

But just as they had let Jiang Yuan choose his own profession, no one would force him to do something he didn't want to do.

If Lin Le was really afraid of hardship and tiredness and didn't want to train, there was really nothing they could do.

Anyway, they had said it more than a hundred times, but he just wouldn't listen, just afraid of hardship and tiredness. What could they do?

A meal of drinking made Jiang Yuan completely integrate into this small group.

Everyone had a good personality, which made Jiang Yuan quite happy.

When they had eaten and drunk enough, Wang Rou, who was the one actually assigning tasks in the Second Squad, said: "Alright, we've eaten and drunk enough. Now listen up."

Everyone quickly focused their attention.

"From now on, every day, as long as the threat of Xiong Yong isn't eliminated, everyone must strictly follow the plan we've made."

"Except for the time when Jiang Yuan is in our safe house, at all other times, he must be protected every moment."

"According to our intelligence, Xiong Yong's strength is initial stage level two, which isn't very strong."

"So we'll be divided into three teams to protect Jiang Yuan alternately."

Wang Rou pointed at Lin Le and said: "Although you haven't entered the ranks and haven't undergone much training, you have improved a little over the past two years."

"The main thing is that precisely because you haven't entered the ranks, you won't arouse Xiong Yong's vigilance, so you'll be Jiang Yuan's first line of defense."

"Carry a gun with you. If Jiang Yuan encounters any danger, you just need to hold off for a short while. Can you do that?"

Lin Le, who was no longer playful at this time, nodded seriously: "No problem, Sister Rou. My combat power might not be good, but I'm quite good with guns!"

Wang Rou then looked at Xiao Fengyu and arranged: "You and I will be the second line of defense, staying a bit farther away from Jiang Yuan."

"But we have to act separately; acting together would easily arouse suspicion."

"So if they encounter danger, we'll rush to support immediately."

"Although Xiong Yong is only initial stage level two, both of us are only initial stage level three. To be safe, our task is just to protect Jiang Yuan well. Do you understand?"

Xiao Fengyu nodded earnestly.

Finally, Wang Rou looked at Chi Zhongyue, who was drinking milk tea through a straw, and Hu Zhengfeng, who had been smoking non-stop, and made her final arrangements: "I don't need to say anything about you two."

"Both of you are initial stage level two, and with your combat power, you might be able to take down Xiong Yong in a 1v1, and it's even less of a problem in a 2v1."

"But precisely because you're very strong, just patrol the outermost perimeter."

Hu Zhengfeng took a deep drag on his cigarette, smoke still coming out of his mouth and nose as he spoke: "Sure, this arrangement is fine."

Chi Zhongyue didn't speak, just nodded heavily.

But Jiang Yuan was paying close attention to her, because after all, starting from tomorrow, she would be the object he was 'pursuing', so he had to adapt in advance.

And precisely because he had been watching Chi Zhongyue, he noticed that after listening to Wang Rou's arrangement, a flash of excitement, madness, and... cruelty had appeared in Chi Zhongyue's beautiful deer-like eyes?

Jiang Yuan wasn't sure if he had seen wrong.

Perhaps sensing that Jiang Yuan was staring at her, Chi Zhongyue slightly turned her head and smiled sweetly at Jiang Yuan.

Her smile was sweet and pure, extremely beautiful.

Hmm... it must have been an illusion.

It seemed he still had a lot to learn about micro-expressions.

Work hard!
