37: Chapter 37 Lin, you don't want the Lin family to be humiliated, do you?
"Why are you being so outrageous?"
At the entrance of the Lin family's villa.
The Lin family butler was holding a phone, and Lin Zishan's indignant voice came from the phone:
"You've already managed to Cultivate my Wangyue Movement Technique, and now you're still thinking about the Jueying Sword Manual?"
"Aren't you taking too much advantage? You want two Martial Skills from me!?"
Lin Zishan had gone out on business and was not inside the Lin family residence.
Upon learning that Ye Hai had learned her Wangyue Movement Technique, he still had the nerve to ask for another one.
She instantly had the feeling of being taken advantage of.
"Hey, hey, hey Young Miss Lin, we didn't say you couldn't look at the Wangyue Movement Technique back then, right?"
"You said with your own mouth that the Wangyue Movement Technique was left with me as a deposit, and I'd exchange it for the Jueying Sword Manual when the time comes."
"You gave your word of honor on this, after all."
"Classmate Lin, you wouldn't want the Lin family's prestige to be trampled on by others, right?"
Ye Hai's words made the butler on the opposite side twitch his eyelids.
He always felt that the guy in front of him was a punky delinquent trying to run away with their Young Miss.
On the other end of the phone.
After hearing Ye Hai's words, Lin Zishan fell silent.
Instead, an indignant voice of another girl came from inside:
"Ye Hai, you little thief, give me back my chicken leg first!"
Ye Hai was stunned.
It turned out the two of them were together.
A moment later.
He faintly heard the voice of a third person inside.
That was a man's voice, and after speaking vaguely with Lin Zishan for a few sentences.
Lin Zishan then gritted her teeth indignantly and said:
"Uncle Wang..."
"Take his Wangyue Movement Technique back, go to the second drawer of my practice room, and give him the Jueying Sword Manual."
Butler Uncle Wang stared unfriendlily at Ye Hai for a good while.
Before turning back to the villa, bringing the other Sword Manual and handing it to Ye Hai.
"Many thanks, Classmate Lin..."
Ye Hai nodded with satisfaction, smiling into the phone: "And thanks to Teacher Wu, haha!"
Wu Di's silly laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Bidding farewell to Lin Zishan.
Ye Hai did not return, but headed straight for the martial arts gym.
Pockets bulging with a huge sum of fully five hundred thousand, Ye Hai currently had a strong desire to spend.
Zhangjiang Base had all kinds of places for Evolvers to enhance their strength.
Such as training grounds, combat arenas, martial arts gyms, Cultivation grounds...
Training grounds and combat arenas were as their literal meanings suggested.
Inside were professional attribute-testing instruments, which could provide Evolvers with places for training and combat.
Similar to a gym, you could enter long-term by getting an annual membership card.
As for martial arts gyms and Cultivation grounds, they were places specifically for imparting various evolutionary Cultivation methods.
Similar to a driving school, you spend money to enroll in classes.
Martial arts gyms focused on "motion", which meant Martial Skills and Body Tempering Techniques, etc.
Cultivation grounds focused on "stillness", mainly imparting Breathing Techniques, Visualization Techniques, and meditation methods...
Such places were also specially established by the base.
The imparting Masters inside.
They were all those Senior Evolvers who had entered their twilight years or were severely injured and disabled.
For various reasons, these Seniors had lost the strength to fight on the front lines.
And lacking leadership abilities or professional skills themselves.
They were assigned to the martial arts gym to impart various methods to the younger generation, which could also be considered continuing to contribute their remaining heat.
The Masters within the martial arts gym often harbored hidden Dragons and crouching tigers.
Many bigshots who had evolved three or four times, after losing their combat effectiveness, could not accept the current situation.
Often they would tell the outside world that they were Tier 2 Evolvers.
But their seasoned experience was something ordinary instructors could not possess.
Wanting to find these powerful instructors for study and guidance also required exorbitant prices.
But likewise.
If one followed the right Master, especially that kind of one-on-one guidance...
The speed of progress was far from being comparable to just reading a Sword Manual.
Someone on the internet had calculated.
A traditional martial arts class run by a powerful martial arts Master...
Even a large class of thirty people.
Its Martial Skill learning efficiency was more than three times that of viewing Martial Skill Secret Manuals.
Even more.
Of course.
This didn't matter to Ye Hai.
You can be as fast as you want, I write diaries fast.
"Welcome, sir, what aspect of Martial Skills would you like to learn?"
"Currently we have twelve classes here, mostly focusing on weapon close combat, and there are also movement classes and fist techniques classes..."
"After a while, we will also open a Body Tempering class, specifically imparting the Fire Refining Body Tempering Technique."
"The current pricing ranges from 500 yuan per class to 3000 yuan per class, and you can take them continuously..."
"I wonder what your expected price range is?"
Ye Hai entered the Tianming Martial Arts Gym.
This martial arts gym mainly focused on Sword Techniques, blade techniques, and staff techniques.
There were others as well, but the teaching quality was average.
As for the Body Tempering Technique, there was only one kind, the Fire Refining Body Tempering Technique.
Ye Hai had not understood the price of such Cultivation class hours before, and upon hearing it now, he was startled.
A class was one hour, and the fee for one hour was a full five hundred yuan.
If he wanted to practice for ten hours a day, it would cost five thousand yuan a day.
Judging by this speed, it would probably cost around a hundred thousand yuan a month.
An ordinary person could really barely afford it.
And the huge sum of money Ye Hai carried, all things considered, was only enough to practice for three months.
"I don't plan to take classes, I'll just buy the textbooks."
Ye Hai smiled and looked at the young receptionist lady in front of him.
"Do you mean purchasing Martial Skill books directly?"
The young receptionist lady smiled and said:
"Regarding Martial Skill books, the current prices are very high, with each book priced above two hundred thousand."
"This might be relatively high in cost for you."
"I still suggest you enroll in a Martial Skill class. If your talent is good... you can Master it within two hundred thousand."
"Moreover, Martial Skill books have a certain learning threshold. Even if you buy them back... you might not necessarily be able to practice results out of them~"
What the young receptionist lady of the martial arts gym said was indeed the truth.
Enrolling in classes was relatively... quite affordable.
Even if classes cost hundreds or thousands a day, if one mastered it within a month or an even shorter time.
It was actually relatively more affordable.
Furthermore, some people bought Martial Skill books.
But could never cross the threshold, and ultimately still had to turn back to enroll in classes.
And relative to the martial arts gym.
They also didn't hope customers would buy Martial Skill books.
Because this would allow Martial Skill books to circulate within the base.
Macro-wise, it affected the martial arts gym's income.
However, from the martial arts gym's side, they weren't worried about Martial Skill books being copied.
Because the original creators of Martial Skill books.
Often had their own anti-counterfeiting methods.
Such as punctuation marks, book materials, and some detailed anti-counterfeiting measures.
As well as original authentication from major martial arts gyms.
In this world.
Unless truly driven to desperation.
Ordinary people would not dare to Cultivate books without original marks.
After all, this wasn't reading a web novel... reading a pirated version at most meant more ads.
The consequences of Cultivating pirated Martial Skills were very serious, after all, they were methods used to Cultivate one's own body.
With the slightest mistake.
One's body might experience various unpredictable troubles.
Therefore, the various Martial Skills, Breathing Techniques, Visualization Techniques, etc., circulating on the market...
If they lacked official original authentication, they were basically worthless.
And no one dared to rashly study them.
"Enrolling in classes..."
Ye Hai showed a thoughtful expression, also considering this matter.
Modifying the past with the diary could also replace enrolling in classes.
And as long as he had experienced certain things, or possessed the material conditions to realize this matter...
He could make every day of the past repeat this moment.
Looking at the earnest gaze of the young lady in front of him, Ye Hai also became a bit interested:
"Then how about... I try taking two classes first..."
