15 Xue Wan

  "Son, have you eaten yet?"The gentle voice of my mother, Nan Jiayu, came from the receiver of the mobile phone.

Xue Jing smiled, turned on the hands-free mode of his phone, and placed it on the basket next to the stove. While busying himself, he said, "Not yet. What's the matter? Why are you calling me out of the blue?"

Although my parents in this life are often away on business trips, they love their two children as much as any other family would. All the money they earn from working hard is spent on their children.

"You can make a phone call even if you have nothing to do. Why can't I hear my own son's voice?"

Xue's mother, Nan Jiayu, pretended to be angry.

"You're right, mine." Xue Jing admitted defeat immediately.

Nan Jiayu then asked about Xue Jing's well-being with a smile on her face, and inquired about his recent situation. The two chatted about family matters for a long time.

"Your father and I should be back around New Year's Day and will bring you a gift then."

"Also, you should be careful when you go to and from school recently. Don't run around randomly. It's best to stay at home. I just saw the news that a group of smuggling gangs from the border areas may be in Sunny City. These people are desperate criminals. If you find anything wrong outside, don't get close to them."

Nan Jiayu warned seriously.

Xue Jing immediately realized that this was the purpose of her call.

He comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom. I know what's going on. If anything goes wrong, I'll run faster than a dog."

"That's good."

Nan Jiayu expressed satisfaction, and then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, have you called your sister recently?"

Xue Jing: "I haven't called you in half a month, but we did chat on WeChat a few days ago. What's up?"

Nan Jiayu was silent for a while, then said, "Yesterday afternoon, Wanwan suddenly called me and said she missed me and your dad."

"Isn't that normal?" Xue Jing asked doubtfully.

"It's normal, but I always feel something is wrong. This child is the same as your father. He looks lively at ordinary times, but in fact, he likes to keep things to himself and not let others know. "

"Maybe it's my intuition as a mother. I always feel a little uneasy. Son, when you have time, ask her. Wanwan and you have been close since childhood and you are in the same generation. If she really encounters something, she might tell you."

Xue Jing thought about it and agreed: "Well, don't worry, Mom, I will ask her carefully."

…

After finishing his phone conversation with Nan Jiayu, Xue Jing looked thoughtful.

My elder sister Xue Wan is a very cheerful and beautiful person. She has been a celebrity in school since she was young. She is always on the list of school beauties and her grades have always been very good. Although she failed to get into the inner ring, she went to a top university in the outer ring that is ranked higher than Qing University. She has always been a person that makes people feel at ease.

But Xue Jing, who grew up with her, knew that she was far from being as perfect as she seemed. If she wasn't forced to get up, she would definitely stay in bed. She liked to use tricks when playing games, had a very bad gambling character, and was never willing to admit defeat. She could say "woof woof woof" without any pressure, and she would even trick a female classmate into treating her to a meal in his name by saying "let me introduce you to my handsome brother"...

But the biggest shortcoming is what Xue's mother said, he likes to keep things to himself when encountering problems.

Xue Jing was a little worried. After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and entered a number. His finger rested on the dial button but he did not press it. Instead, he exited the dialing interface and put away the phone.

"Let's fight at night."

He decided to call his sister Xue Wan when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

During that period, people's desire to talk is stronger.

Putting away his phone, he continued to work in the kitchen, cooking a pot of rice and making three dishes. His cooking skills improved by more than 50 points again.

After having lunch with the cat, Xue Jing picked up the cat that was lying on the ground after eating, walked into his room, sat down on the computer chair, and pressed the power button.

With one hand touching the lazy cat's belly and the other on the mouse, Xue Jing planned to look for information about 'Jinli'.

He opened the browser and entered a frequently used search engine website. Just as he was about to type on the keyboard, his eyes suddenly moved.

The computer keyboard used by Xue Jing is black, which is very resistant to dirt and makes it difficult to see ordinary dust stains.

But after activating the aiming skill, his vision becomes extremely strong, so he can see things that ordinary people cannot see.

He could clearly see that there were tiny black and white hairs all over the cracks in the keyboard.

'This is... cat hair?'

Xue Jing looked at the cat in his arms calmly.

This little thing touched my computer?

After thinking about it, Xue Jing didn't say anything, pretending that he didn't notice it, and began to look for information about strength.

After skipping many useless ads and glancing at the wrong information, more than ten minutes later, Xue Jing finally found some information on a relatively professional question-and-answer platform similar to a certain website.

He was so entranced that the cat in his arms sat up on his lap and looked at the webpage.

"Hmm? Looking for martial arts information? Does he want to learn martial arts?"

Cat thought as he watched.

"This half-baked article is just a bunch of pretense. It can only fool laymen. What is this 'high-level practice can produce superpowers'? Can that be developed through practice? Without taking banned drugs or implants, even if you are a 'limit breaker' who has leapt over the dragon gate, you are just a mortal. There is no such thing as a human miracle in this world. There are only ruthless work and technology..."

The cat raised its head and looked at Xue Jing's soft chin.

"If he is really interested in martial arts... after I leave, I can introduce him to that person. I will use it as the rent for my stay here..."

The cat was thinking about something and yawned.

After eating, I felt sleepy all the time.

It curled up on Xue Jing's thighs, with the reassuring scent of the young man lingering around its nose, and slowly fell asleep.

"…"

After noticing that the cat's breathing was slow and steady and that it had fallen asleep completely, Xue Jing remained calm and exited the website.

He opened the search engine, typed in [hidden screen recording software], selected for a while, and successfully downloaded a screen recording software that met the requirements.

I set it to [Turn on automatic startup] [Automatic recording], then restarted the computer, checked the results, and found no problems, then turned off the computer.

After doing these things, Xue Jing gently picked up the cat, put it on his bed, and then tiptoed out of the room.

…

In the 'gym', Xue Jing looked at the barbell on the bench press rack in front of him.

This is a standard barbell, weighing 20 kilograms, with two 20-kilogram barbell plates hanging on each side, weighing exactly 100 kilograms in total.

This is the weight he uses for his daily bench press exercises. If he wants to push himself to the limit, he can actually add about 20 kilograms more.

Xue Jing thought about it, picked up two 15-kilogram barbells from the yoga mat on the ground, which was full of barbells, and installed them on the bar, then picked up two more 5-kilogram ones and installed them.

This brings the weight of the barbell to 140 kilograms.

Xue Jing lay on the bench press rack, held the barbell with both hands, took a deep breath, took the barbell off the hook, put it on his chest, and then exerted force, his muscles instantly tensed, and lifted it up!

The barbell weighing 140 kilograms was slowly lifted up. There was almost no trembling during the lifting process. It was very stable and it was obvious that there was still some strength left.

After successfully lifting it, Xue Jing did not stop, but repeated the bench press until he finished a set of nine, then put the barbell back on the hook.

He breathed slightly and felt relaxed.

"After activating "Fighting", my physical fitness has improved a lot. In addition to the more than 100 fitness experience points I got after fighting, my bench press limit has increased by about 20 to 30 kilograms."

This weight may not seem too much, but you have to know that there is a diminishing marginal effect when exercising the human body.

The closer we get to the limits of the human body, the more difficult it becomes to increase our strength.

If a person trains hard, it may only take two or three years to increase his bench press from 60 kg to 120 kg. But if you want to reach 140 kg, it is not a matter of hard work. You may not be able to do it even if you are given ten or eight years or even a lifetime.

Therefore, the 20 to 30 kilograms that Xue Jing increased in bench press weight is of very high value.

After trying the bench press, Xue Jing walked to the standing sandbag in the middle of the room, took a deep breath, focused his eyes, and punched out!

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Xue Jing's fist hit the sandbag hard, and a circle of ripples appeared on the leather surface. It seemed that the wind and air waves from the fist spread out faintly. The iron base filled with sand and weighing more than 300 kilograms suddenly tilted greatly and fell to the side.

Xue Jing stretched out a hand to hold the sandbag, nodded, and said to himself: "Not bad."
