7: Chapter 7 Training Preparation (Part 1)

...

One week later, a villa district on the outskirts of Binhai City.

"Brother, from now on, this villa is yours..."

The real estate agent, dressed in a suit, looked at Lin Fang with a face full of smiles, not feeling awkward about his choice of address at all. This villa, worth 8 million, had been delayed for a long time due to the previous owner's eccentricities, but now someone had finally taken it over.

And it was a big client who inquired on the first day and paid on the second! Please, let there be more of these wealthy individuals.

After the agent left,

Lin Fang looked over the layout. From today onwards, this would be his permanent residence; he only had time to handle these matters on the weekends.

Coming to the backyard, before him was a comprehensive training area of nearly 1,000 square meters. Not only that, the entire third floor of this villa had been converted into a training room by the previous owner.

This was his primary purpose for buying this villa.

"Little Black, where did the previous owner of this villa go?" Lin Fang was somewhat curious.

[Passed away two years ago due to pancreatic cancer; listed for sale by his daughter six months ago.]

Arriving on the third floor, a spacious training room came into view. Lin Fang began to inspect the facilities, wondering if any issues had developed after more than two years.

An hour later, Lin Fang stepped down from the power rack, his breathing uneven from the intense exercise. Good luck—these facilities could still be used smoothly; after all, they were all famous brands.

Lin Fang looked toward the Black Star,

[Mental damage has reached the threshold; planar exploration cannot be performed.]

He didn't feel any discomfort now, so why could he still not enter? In ancient Chinese medical theory, the human body needs a full lunar cycle to complete the self-healing of Qi, blood, and spirit. Does it really require a month?

Lin Fang used a pen to list several possibilities and countermeasures. The most unacceptable one was never having the chance to enter again.

It shouldn't be like that. How can one clear the game with only two lives...

While he was thinking, afternoon arrived.

Lin Fang put down his pen, gathered the scattered plans on the table, and stood up to walk toward the second floor.

Arriving at the second-floor kitchen, a flame ignited in the sink. After everything was burned to ash, Lin Fang flushed the remains down the drain.

"Little Black, where is he?"

[Boss, Zhou Hui set off for this location at 12:12 PM. According to his final trajectory, he should be observing secretly from the riverbank 200 meters away.]

Zhou Hui, male, 32 years old, an ace retired from a certain domestic marine unit. After retiring three years ago, he was imprisoned for excessive defense and was released two weeks ago. His current job is selling sweet potatoes at the entrance of the Central People's Hospital...

He was the expert Lin Fang had screened out in Binhai City.

This was a major step in Lin Fang's plan. To complete his goals during planar exploration more efficiently in the future, he urgently needed to improve various survival techniques and learn the ability to kill enemies.

By the riverbank,

A burly man scratched his rear, lying prone in the damp grass and using binoculars to observe the villa ahead. He didn't find anything unusual.

It seemed he was being over-suspicious; perhaps this rich person really did love eating sweet potatoes. Thus, Zhou Hui stood up and walked toward the villa.

Before long,

Zhou Hui arrived at the door of this major client. He rubbed his calloused hands and asked Lin Fang expectantly:

"Boss, did you call saying you want to order 10 tons of sweet potatoes every day? Rest assured, I guarantee every roasted sweet potato will be big and sweet."

"We'll talk about that later,"

"Are you interested in working for me?"

"..."

Zhou Hui looked at a handful of melon seeds scattered on the coffee table and fell silent. He hadn't expected this situation—a wealthy young man hiring him as a private bodyguard to teach him fighting and improve his combat literacy. Listen to that, isn't that just nonsense?

Although he didn't know how this youth knew about his past, Zhou Hui didn't care. He was tired and just wanted to live a peaceful life now.

"Regarding the salary, I can offer Brother Zhou a monthly salary of 100,000 plus the Five Social Insurances and One Housing Fund."

The burly figure, who was just about to stand up, suddenly froze!

The next second, Zhou Hui sat back down nimbly with a simple and honest smile. "You're too kind. It's just fighting, right? That's what I'm best at. Leave it to me."

What broken sweet potato stall? Better throw it away as soon as possible!

After the contract was signed,

The burly man tucked away his smile, his expression becoming extremely serious. "Boss, I must live up to this salary. From now on, this flesh of mine is yours. Feel free to give me any orders."

Lin Fang had once seen a character analysis report generated by Little Black based on Zhou Hui's lifelong behavior. Other than being a bit simple-minded, he had no major flaws, and his loyalty and reliability toward employers accounted for a large portion of his score. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here today.

Therefore, his words at this moment were still credible.

After the two chatted briefly, Zhou Hui brought up the main business. "Boss, can you tell me your goal for learning fighting? That way, I can make preparations."

"To kill people," Lin Fang said seriously.

"Boss, isn't that my job?"
