However, Chen Shouyi’s good intentions were met with disdain.

Neither the Shell Lady nor the Little Red Dot were interested in the gemstone in his hand.

"Good Giant, this isn’t a gemstone!" Shell Lady sat on the bed, with an expression as if Chen Shouyi was deceiving the Little Dot again, and said disdainfully.

Little Red Dot also had a look of "I may not understand, but I’m not stupid," and nodded repeatedly.

The God of Conspiracy sent over uncut gemstones, which were uneven and irregular on the surface. Although they were highly pure, to the "worldly-wise" Shell Lady, these were no different from rocks.

After all... they weren’t round at all, and their transparency was lacking.

How can you call this a gemstone?

She’s actually a smart Little Dot.

Chen Shouyi looked at the blue and red gemstones in his hand, opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Oh well, it’s because he taught them so well initially.

They’re just two well-behaved Little Dots.

...

Since the mutation, Earth’s climate began to take a turn towards the extreme.

Come April, the lingering winter chill quickly faded away. Just a few days ago, thick dirty snow could still be seen on the roadside. Now, it’s nowhere to be found, as the temperature continues to rise.

Some fashion-loving women couldn’t wait to shed their heavy coats and switch to breezy outfits, as though summer had already arrived.

Chen Shouyi liked summer.

In a secluded corner of a park, the fresh green buds of a large tree looked tender and delightful.

"Can you be a bit more restrained? Someone might see us," Zhang Xiaoyue said softly, her face flushed, her eyes wet and wary as she glanced around.

After a while, Chen Shouyi said, "I’m keeping an eye out, nobody will see us."

...

A moment later.

Zhang Xiaoyue hurriedly adjusted her dress, then nestled into Chen Shouyi’s arms with a flushed face, whispering, "Are you thinking about it?"

"Thinking about what?" Chen Shouyi played dumb.

How annoying, Zhang Xiaoyue couldn’t help but slap Chen Shouyi lightly, teasingly saying, "Thinking about what? You know it well."

Chen Shouyi quickly shook his head, "I wasn’t thinking about anything."

Sometimes, his hands had a mind of their own, and he couldn’t control them.

"Hmph, don’t think I don’t know, there’s no man who’s not a lecher," Zhang Xiaoyue huffed adorably.

Chen Shouyi felt so wronged.

Heaven bear witness, even among crows, there are white crows. He’s not lecherous. Even if a beautiful woman passed by, he would look straight ahead, never giving a direct glance. As for wide-angle and three-dimensional vision, those are beyond control.

As strong as he is.

Even unintentionally, the information he received every moment was astronomical.

Of course, that didn’t need any explanation.

"Oh, right, this is for you," Chen Shouyi took out a chicken egg-sized ruby and said.

"What’s this?" Zhang Xiaoyue was immediately captivated by the ruby in Chen Shouyi’s hand.

"A pretty stone, someone gave me many."

...

While Chen Shouyi was enjoying a rare vacation, the martial arts world was in an uproar.

With Chen Shouyi’s Original Force research results starting to spread within a small range, everyone was astounded. If Anderson’s research only opened a crack, then Chen Shouyi’s findings were fully applicable in practice.

It was earth-shattering.

...

Beijing Martial Artist Club.

This is the most frequented place for martial artists in the Beijing martial artist circle.

To gather information, share experiences, make private trades, brag, and joke around. As the number of martial artists increased, this place became even more lively, especially for some newly promoted martial artists who loved to hang out there in their spare time to broaden their horizons.

Lu Shouhu was already considered a senior here; at this moment, he was spitting as he pointed out the world, lecturing a group of people, "What President Chen researched is too advanced, far beyond our reach. I think it’s better if we don’t waste too much time on it. We aren’t those kinds of geniuses, probably only someone like Elder Ye can barely learn it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

There are many versions of Chen’s training methods.

Chen’s Training Method 1.0, the Horizontal Training Method fused Chen’s Training Method 1.5, and Chen’s Training Method 2.0.

Each version is more difficult than the last.

Even the 1.0 version, not every martial artist present could master it.

Let alone the 2.0 version demonstrated in the European Union.

It’s said that even the legendary strong figure Luo Jingwen couldn’t resist cursing in private, saying it’s not something a person can master, indicating its difficulty.

"Elder Lu, I heard you know General Manager Chen?" a newly promoted martial artist asked curiously.

"Is there any doubt? We even worked on a mission together before, no bragging, back then General Manager Chen used to call me Brother Lu," Lu Shouhu straightened his back proudly. It was the highlight of his life, a tale he could boast about for a lifetime.

After all, who would be so lucky to have had such experiences before a legendary figure like General Manager Chen made his mark?

Seeing most people’s disbelief, Lu Shouhu wasn’t in a hurry. He leisurely said, "Many know about this. Back then, both Elder Ye and Elder Luo were there; you can verify with them.

At that time, General Manager Chen and I were just doing odd jobs. Think about it, General Manager Chen was just eighteen a few years ago, and his skills were slightly weaker than mine. His current strength came later.

Back then, General Manager Chen was very inexperienced, always coming to me for guidance!"

Lu Shouhu spoke mysteriously, "Let me tell you a secret many don’t know."

"What secret?" a young martial artist asked, and everyone showed interest. Even some senior martial artists couldn’t help but perk up their ears to listen.

Sneaking a peek into the private life of a big figure like that was so thrilling.

Some martial artists couldn’t help their pounding hearts and wide eyes.

To martial artists, martial artists were naturally big figures and needed to uphold their identity, but in front of the God of Martial Arts, General Manager Chen, they were no different from ordinary people.

"You better not spread this around!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly, indicating they understood.

"He has a pet, which he cherishes dearly, carrying it with him every day," Lu Shouhu looked left and right, lowering his voice.

His information was outdated; it’s two now.

"Oh..."

A satisfied murmur rose from the crowd, as if they’d had a cold drink in midsummer, feeling refreshed all over, as if uncovering some earth-shattering secret.

"What kind of pet? I want to have one too." After a while, finally, a fanboy asked.

"Can’t say, can’t say!" Lu Shouhu showed some sense, knowing what to say and what not to say. If he revealed General Manager Chen’s Thumbelina, and it backfired, they’d be in big trouble. He brushed it off, "It’s a magical pet, just don’t spread it."

"Understood."

"Got it!"

"Elder Lu, don’t worry, we’re not loose-lipped."
