Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 7

[Chapter 7: Cannon Fist Small Success (asking for monthly ticket)]

“Mr. Bai?”

Fang Xing greeted him politely, knowing that this classmate Bai was here to see them.

“Yes…I’m sorry. I was too harsh just now.”

Bai Lianyi’s eyes were gentle and her voice had a slight tremor, like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Coupled with her temperament, Liu Wei inexplicably felt a sense of pity and trance.

The one I saw in the glorious Jiang Mansion before, was she?

“No, no, there will definitely be casualties in a martial arts competition…”

Liu Wei quickly said: “How could I blame you, my classmate?”

“That’s great.”

Bai Lianyi took out an old frog wallet from her bosom and pulled out a campus card: “Please be sure to put the medical expenses into my account this time…”

The gentle and warm sunlight shines through the shade of the trees and onto the girl’s face, carrying a hint of firmness and holiness.

…

“You say… have we wrongly blamed them?”

Coming out of the infirmary, Liu Wei’s expression became a little confused: “I just took a quick look and there aren’t many star points on Bai’s card…”

“Young man, that’s because your rank is too low…”

Fang Xing complained in his heart, and then said seriously: “Whether it is true or not, it has nothing to do with us, and we didn’t spread rumors…”

“Yes, fortunately.”

Liu Wei carefully put away the campus card and said, “I have to return this to the owner as soon as possible…”

He could even imagine the scene where Bai worked part-time to pay for his studies and still didn’t have enough money for food.

When Fang Xing saw this scene, he was speechless.

‘This breath of youth… even if it’s stupid, even if it’s embarrassing… it’s still… youth.’

“Liu Wei doesn’t meet their requirements anyway, so just do as you please…”

He had a hunch that Bai Lianyi had no ill intentions in coming to him this time and was just putting on a show.

I returned to Xingfu Garden Community and received several more express deliveries.

“Yeah, not bad…”

Fang Xing looked at the selfie stick in his hand and the drone next to him, and nodded with satisfaction.

With all these preparations, plus air detection equipment and weapons, you can basically put together a monkey version of the alien exploration equipment.

“There are also other devices such as gravity detectors… They are all available in the school training room. Let’s see if we can borrow them. This will save us a lot of money…”

Since the students are being trained as interstellar warriors, they need to face the harsh environments of different planets. Therefore, there are specific alien combat courses in Yucai High School.

Fang Xing felt that even if it was a different world, there shouldn’t be any big problems if he followed the procedures in the textbook.

…

A few days later.

Happy Home Community.

Practice room.

Fang Xing was wearing casual clothes and doing the Dalong Zhuang posture, sweating profusely.

“59 minutes…”

“60 minutes!”

“Time’s up!”

Fang Xing sat down on the ground, panting heavily. “Sure enough, one hour of Dalongzhuang every day is almost my limit, right? But…limits are meant to be broken.”

During this period of time, he challenged his limits many times, and finally he was able to change his standing posture from two separate 30-minute sessions to one 60-minute session.

It’s not that it can’t be longer, but it will obviously damage the body and do more harm than good.

“Teacher Xia Long’s judgment is very accurate. According to the conditions of most students, one hour of standing practice every day is the limit…”

Although he can challenge his limits, Fang Xing obviously would not accept it if it comes at the cost of damaging his body.

He took a deep breath again, then stood up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After changing into dry clothes, he almost slumped in the chair, posing in the most comfortable posture, and consciously looked at the attribute panel:
[Name: Fang Xing]

Age: 16

[Occupation: Warrior]

[First Realm: Skin and Flesh (Skin Refining: 23/100)]

【12 Military Boxing Styles: 60/100 (Beginner)】

[Big Dragon Posture: 70/100 (Entry Level)]

[Gate of the Heavens: 9/100 (Positioning)]

…

“It has been nine days since I traveled through time…”

“According to my observation, if there is no external force such as teacher Xia Long’s guidance, relying solely on my own hard work, I can increase my proficiency in the Dragon Posture by a little in about three days…”

“As for the military boxing and other moves, it is indeed different with guidance, and the progress will be faster.”

“The progress of refining the skin and flesh will be accelerated along with the improvement of the Great Dragon Pillar, but at my current level, I can’t increase the speed at all…”

“If this continues, after more than three months, I can only improve the Great Dragon Posture and Military Body Fist to the next level, but it will be difficult to break through the warrior realm… Even in the skin and flesh realm, I can only stay at the superficial skin refining, not the flesh refining!”

If you just refine the skin, there won’t be much difference between you and ordinary people.

Fang Xing thought about it and suddenly felt a little annoyed.

“Damn it…”

‘Why am I trying so hard?’

“Isn’t it nice to just lie around and do nothing? At least I can get through the three years of high school…”

“The other world is too dangerous, why should I take the risk?”

Some messy thoughts emerged and Fang Xing savored them carefully.

‘After just crossing over, do I still have negative emotions such as confusion and fear?’

After secretly analyzing his own psychology, he put on the holographic glasses.

Don’t panic if something happens, play two games first.

“Fuck, can you move?”

“Primary school student?”

“What a crappy mechanism! I might as well play a game that’s banned for adults…”

…

After venting, Fang Xing couldn’t help but feel very relaxed until he received a text message reminder:
[Dear Mr. Fang Xing, your current account balance is 754.23 Star Dollars. ]

“Oops…not enough money.”

Fang Xing’s expression suddenly became very solemn.

The purchase of a series of products including basic nano protective clothing and drones made his already tight wallet even worse.

“Working, or being forced to work…”

“I was forced to work in my previous life, and I am still forced to work after traveling through time. Didn’t I travel through time in vain?”

Just then, a communication came in.

“Axing, there’s a visitor, clock in!”

A three-dimensional image of Liu Wei emerges.

“Okay, I’ll be there right away.”

Fang Xing hurried out with a piece of bread in his mouth.

…

Green water mansion.

“I want to beat ten by myself!”

A little kid about eleven or twelve years old shouted arrogantly.

“Well, Wenwen is the best.”

Next to him, a mother with average looks but a gentle expression was smiling and encouraging.

“I’m so envious…”

Liu Wei gave Fang Xing a look.

“The father is away from home for a long time and can’t train the children… This is our chance.”

Fang Xing’s heart moved and he made a gesture.

Then, the two of them faced off against the little brat.

“Look at my light wave fist!”

The little brat threw a punch, but it didn’t even reach the level of Ming Jin.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xing and Liu Wei felt relieved, knowing that they had met a good guest.

At least, not as deceptive as Gu Yun last time.

“ah!”

Fang Xing took the first punch, then flew backwards with a scream.

Liu Wei immediately rushed over and fought with the little brat…

Two hours later, the two of them left arm in arm, with a hint of joy on their faces: “This young master is so easy to serve… As expected, the guy last time was a swindler!”

Liu Wei was still impressed by Gu Yun from last time.

If all customers were like this, he would have quit long ago.

At this time, he rubbed his shoulders, and suddenly his expression became a little suspicious: “Axing… why do I feel that you are more relaxed than me?”

“It’s simple, because I was wearing protective clothing… and children couldn’t tell the difference.”

Fang Xing answered seriously.

“Fuck, you cheated… No, you actually bought protective clothing. Are you living a miserable life?”

Liu Wei’s eyes widened, and then he said earnestly: “You are not planning to take any crooked paths, are you? City Hunter and bounty hunting, if you are not at the third level of strength, you will die…”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Fang Xing didn’t want to talk about this issue any more, so he changed the subject: “You, on the other hand, have been getting very close to Bai Lianyi recently. What’s going on?”

“I…we are just ordinary classmates.”

Liu Wei answered immediately, his eyes clear and his expression frank.

“Really? That classmate Bai is no simple person. Just don’t forget what we saw before…” Fang Xing reminded.

“I’m sure she’s not… Besides, for us cyborgs, it’s our instinct to seize every opportunity to move forward.” Liu Wei waved his hand: “…It’s not a big deal.”

After entering the interstellar age, a chaotic private life is indeed not a big problem.

Fang Xing stared at Liu Wei for a few more times, confirming that the other party did not seem to be trapped in love, and couldn’t help feeling a little strange.

“I always feel like there’s something wrong… If Bai Lianyi isn’t the one, then the problem is even bigger. Liu Wei being close to her may not be a good thing.”

‘I’ll have to remind you more often in the future.’

Of course, considering the current relationship between the two, it is just a few reminders.

Fang Xing obviously wouldn’t do anything to secretly investigate Bai Lianyi for Liu Wei, as he was too busy with his own affairs.

“Next, let’s practice hard…”

Fang Xing made up his mind secretly.

…

As an educational planet, Eagle Star cannot be considered 100% safe, but the public security is quite good.

Plus, Fang Xing was just an ordinary high school student before, so the relationship was very simple.

He has always been a low-key person and doesn’t cause trouble, so the probability of trouble happening to him becomes extremely low.

In a daze, a month passed quietly.

Yucai High School.

Fang Xing swung his right arm and punched hard.

Boom!

There seemed to be a sound of a cannonball in the void, and the students around were startled.

“This… this is… a single shot worth a ton of money?”

A classmate asked in surprise: “Fang Xing, you have mastered the bow step cannon punch?”

“I just got into the state by chance…”

Fang Xing closed his eyes, as if trying to grasp this feeling.

In fact, he knew that he had achieved it once and for all. If he could complete the real “cannon fist” this time, he would be able to do it next time as well!

At this time, close your eyes and just focus on the attribute bar.

On the other hand, the other students were slightly surprised at first, but then they quickly found reasons to convince themselves.

They all saw Fang Xing’s performance. He made progress every day, and this “bow step cannon punch” was the focus of his practice.

Now that we have finally achieved some success, it seems that this should be… reasonable?
