After Qi Shu brought the little girl home, he called her parents and told them about the situation. He told them that there were many mutated cats and dogs nearby.
He did not tell them about the part where he was attacked by the green wolf. After all, he could not explain himself and did not want to trouble himself. When Xiaoling’s parents heard about the situation, her father turned pale with fright and said that he would immediately come to fetch her.
Qi Shu hung up the phone and pointed at the food in his fridge. “Xiaoling, what do you want to eat?”
Xiaoling said obediently, “Brother Qi Shu, you can cook whatever you want. I don’t eat food that is too spicy!”
Qi Shu nodded his head and went into the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes. In the past, he had always casually cooked his own dishes. This was the first time that he had carefully studied someone else’s appetite.
When Xiaoling saw that the food was ready, she went to serve the food on the table. Both of them then started to eat.
Qi Shu chatted with her as they ate. She was very obedient and cute. He immediately changed his view on her.
In the past, Qi Shu had thought that this was her true nature. She was arrogant, despotic, and condescending. Now, it seemed like it was caused by her parents’ long-term neglect.
Thinking about it, she was quite pitiful. She had been working hard to become a powerful evolver. Every day, she would train in ancient martial arts alone just to receive praise from his parents whenever he saw her.
When Qi Shu thought about this, he felt a trace of sympathy for her. He continued to put some food into her bowl and said with a smile, “Come and eat more!”
Xiaoling was speechless. She rubbed her stomach and shook her head. “Brother Qi Shu, I really can’t eat anymore, but this is the best meal I’ve ever had.”
“Brother Qi Shu, leave this place with me. It’s so dangerous here. The big wolf almost scared me to death!”
Qi Shu shook his head and said, “Xiaoling, you are still too young. You need to be protected, and I am already an adult. There is no need to trouble the government, and I have the ability to protect myself!”
“Ding dong~!”
Xiaoling was about to say something when the doorbell rang.
Qi Shu said to Xiaoling, “Xiaoling, don’t tell anyone about what I did. This is a secret!”
Xiaoling nodded heavily and said, “Brother Qi Shu, don’t worry. This is a secret between us. I will definitely not tell a third person!”
Qi Shu nodded and went straight to the door, opening it. The person outside was her father, Yu Tianlu. There was a man dressed in black behind him. Qi Shu could feel that he was a strong person.
Yu Tianlu immediately stepped forward and said emotionally, “Thank you so much. I was too busy that I forgot that my daughter was still at home. Thank goodness you reminded me. Why don’t you come with me?”
Qi Shu immediately waved his hand and said, “There’s no need. I have all the resources here. Even if I stay here for half a month, there won’t be any problems. There’s no need to trouble the government!”
Yu Tianlu nodded his head and said, “Then I won’t force you. However, you mustn’t go out. This district has already been guarded by people. As long as you stay at home, there won’t be any problems. If anything happens, you can call me.”
Yu Tianlu then waved at his daughter, “Xiaoling, come over and follow daddy!”
Xiaoling jumped into her father’s arms and turned to say, “Brother Qi Shu, I will play with you after this is over! Bye bye!”
“Okay! Bye!”
The three of them returned to the car.
Yu Tianlu asked in a soft voice, “Xiaoling, when I came here earlier, I saw blood on the door of my house. I even found a dead mutated wolf in the trash can. Do you know who did this?”
Xiaoling’s body trembled reflexively when she heard him mention the wild wolf. She was about to cry and complain when she suddenly remembered her promise. She immediately pretended to be confused and said, “I don’t know. We didn’t dare to go outside. We don’t know what happened outside.”
When Yu Tianlu saw this, he smiled lightly and did not ask further. What schemes could a ten-year-old girl have? Her father could see through her at a single glance. It seemed like Qi Shu did not want to expose himself. He might even have saved his daughter.
Yu Tianlu was rather grateful to him. If anything happened to his daughter, he would never forgive himself.
Then, he shook his head at the driver in front and hinted for him not to report what had happened this time around.
…
Qi Shu sent them off. Not long after, he received the reward from the cheats system.
[Instance zone cheats successful. The rewards are as follows.]
[You have been logged into the ‘Yangcheng Mountain Range’ instance zone for 12 hours. Obtained: 3 Primary stones!]
[Technique cheats success. Cultivation speed has increased thrice. The rewards are as follows.]
[Your “Tiger Fist” technique cheats have been operating for 12 hours. Your moves are ferocious and your fist force is unparalleled. Your cultivation progress of the Tiger Fist has been raised to the great perfection stage. After completing the great perfection stage, you will no longer be allowed to continue using the technique cheats.]
Qi Shu immediately felt that the moves of the Tiger Fist in his mind had become more well-rounded. Each move revealed endless domineeringness, making him feel like a ferocious tiger that was out to hunt.
At this moment, the aura on Qi Shu’s body was especially obvious. If the green wolf came back to life and met him now, just the aura on the surface of his body was enough to scare him away.
It was the nature of animals. Unless there was a huge difference in strength between the both of them, the green wolf would always be at an absolute disadvantage when facing the ferocious tiger.
Qi Shu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He withdrew all his aura. He was no different from an ordinary person.
He then opened the interface.
[Host]: Qi Shu
[Power]: Martial Artist Level 3
[Instance zone cheats]: Jiangnan Residential Area, Yangcheng Mountain Range
[Technique cheats (3x Speed)]: Ancient Martial Arts Physical Training Techniques, Tiger Fist (Great perfection stage)
[Primary stones]: 21 primary stones
[It has been detected that the host’s strength has broken through to Martial Artist Level 3. The rewards from the instance zone of ‘Yangcheng Mountain Range’ for a Level 2 Martial Artist will be reduced. A new instance zone can be activated with 8 Primary stones. Do you wish to begin?]
“Activate!”
[Successfully unlocked. Entering instance zone cheats map: Cave of Mutations.]
Qi Shu then topped up ten primary stones, raising the cultivation speed of his technique cheats to four times the original speed. Now, he could only operate the technique cheats for the Ancient Martial Arts Physical Training Techniques. He clicked on the technique cheats right away.
[Technique cheats successfully activated. It costs one primary stone. The technique cheat for Ancient Martial Arts Physical Training Techniques has been selected. The cultivation speed is 4 times the original speed!]
After Qi Shu was done, he came to the window. It was already dark outside. Normally, ordinary people would not be able to unleash their combat power if they did not use the light at night.
However, now that he had the tactile senses of a ferocious tiger, and his strength had increased to Martial Artist Level 3, his senses had also increased greatly. The nighttime was now his home ground, and the increase in his battle prowess was definitely higher at night than during the daytime.
After absorbing a piece of the source of life during the day, he was able to raise his Martial Artist Level 2 directly to Martial Artist Level 3. This was much faster than how he increased his strength through the cheats system. He could not give up on such a huge benefit.
Qi Shu closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings. Then, he rushed in a certain direction.
