Since I've already time-traveled, of course I'm going to take the shortcut!

Chapter 22 The Female Sea King

Lu Yao took out a supplementary card to buy 100 lessons, and Xie Wendong's attempts to dissuade him were to no avail.

Xie Wendong's thinking was very simple; he was genuinely afraid that Lü Yao's actions were just a passing fancy.

Getting into a boxing match isn't something that can be achieved overnight.

He trained as a coach's apprentice for almost a year before he started boxing. Even so, his level in MMC was only good enough to be a punching bag for others.

But Lü Yao patted Xie Wendong on the shoulder and said, "I'm investing in myself, you don't understand."

Xie Wendong: "..."

He really couldn't understand Lü Yao's actions anymore.

However, Xie Wendong still said, "A normal boxing class costs 680 yuan, and regular members can get a 15% discount. The most I can get for you, Brother Donkey, is a 30% discount."

Since they're all family, every little bit helps.

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Okay."

Xie Wendong took Lü Yao's card to talk to their manager about the price, while Lü Yao sat in the boxing gym's reception area, playing on his phone and waiting.

Before long, a rich, woody fragrance mixed with a hint of tobacco suddenly wafted into the area where we were to sit.

Lu Yao subconsciously looked up and saw a woman wearing a sports vest and wide-leg pants walking closer and closer to him.

This woman had a pretty and delicate appearance, the kind of look that's very demure and refined.

But her figure is the complete opposite of her appearance.

This woman has a very classic pear-shaped figure, with a slender waist and narrow shoulders, making her look delicate and fragile. However, from the narrowest part of her waist down, the curves of her figure begin to open up to a visible degree, becoming fuller and rounder.

An exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio creates a visually captivating hook, as if it can pull up the most basic code of human instinct.

Such a physique requires not only exceptional natural talent, but also diligent sculpting, and perhaps even a bit of technology.

This is a perfectly sculpted physique designed to attract men.

This woman, who clearly came from a wealthy family, swayed gracefully to Lu Yao's table, sat down naturally opposite him, and introduced herself confidently: "Hello, my name is Yao Suna. You're a new face. Are you just here to buy a course?"

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Yes, this is my first time here."

Yao Suna smiled slightly and said, "Then I'm your senior sister, I've been training at this boxing gym for many years."

This woman has a very pleasant voice.

It was a voice that was more mature than old, with a slight, almost imperceptible upward inflection at the end of each sentence.

What many people don't know is that vocal technique and pronunciation skills are also important skills in male-female interactions. For those who don't have a particular preference in this area, it's a plus, making the conversation more comfortable.

For those with a particular fondness for this, it will be a killer move.

Yao Suna's chatting skills were clearly trained.

Before Lu Yao traveled through time, he had worked on voice chat software for a while when he was starting his own business. He had quite a few girls under his command who could make people on the other end of the phone fantasize just by their voices.

Therefore, Lü Yao has a high resistance to women who have undergone special training.

Lü Yao then smiled and said, "Hello, Senior Sister."

Lu Yao appeared somewhat reserved and inexperienced when a woman suddenly approached him.

Because he wasn't quite sure of the other person's purpose, and this reserved and naive demeanor was the easiest to mislead people.

Yao Suna continued with a smile, "I know quite a bit about various fighting techniques. If you want to learn anything in the future, you can come to me."

Following up on the conversation, Lü Yao asked, "So, when do you usually come to train, Senior Sister?"

Yao Suna thought for a moment and said, "I'm not so sure. How about we add each other's contact information so we can arrange to come to training together?"

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Okay."

The two then naturally exchanged contact information.

Lu Yao could tell that Yao Suna was also very good at chatting and interacting with people, and the process of obtaining her contact information was incredibly smooth.

After exchanging contact information, the two chatted casually for a while before Yao Suna said she had something to do and got up to leave.

After Yao Suna left, Xie Wendong came over and sat down with a stack of contracts: "Why were you chatting with that woman?"

Lü Yao smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Wendong gossiped, "You have no idea how amazing that woman is. We call her 'Brother-Snatching Girl' behind her back. Several rich guys and MMA fighters here are completely infatuated with her. The fiercest time, they even fought over her."

Lu Yao also became curious: "Because you're juggling multiple relationships?"

Xie Wendong was quite enthusiastic when it came to gossip. He shook his head and said, "Hey, if it were just about using her body to fish, that wouldn't be so impressive. What's impressive about her is that... none of those men even managed to get into her bed."

Hey~

Lü Yao understood.

To put it bluntly, she's just a high-level female player.

Lü Yao was not unfamiliar with such things.

Before he traveled through time, he frequented entertainment venues while running his business, and over time, he got to know some notorious playboy madams.

In fact, postmodern madams are no longer the old-fashioned brothel owners they used to be.

Postmodern madams are often very young, and once they have more resources at their disposal, they bring their girlfriends into the industry as well.

At that time, due to social engagements, Lü Yao gradually developed "friendships" with some madams.

Some of them also developed feelings for Lü Yao.

But Lu Yao, who frequented such places for many years, certainly understood the principle that "public vehicles must never be privatized."

Later, when the economic situation deteriorated and Lü Yao's financial chain broke down, leaving him with nowhere to turn, a madam who was a seasoned mahjong partner of Lü Yao suddenly took out more than one million yuan to help him...

At that time, Lü Yao was indeed impacted by factors beyond money.

However, Lü Yao didn't take the money. He told his card-playing friend to deposit the money, and said with a grin that he was going to be a deadbeat from now on, and that she could use the interest on the money to support him.

Recalling the past, Lü Yao smiled and said to Xie Wendong, "I know, she came over to say hello herself."

Their dorm is currently in the early stages of its startup, and Lü Yao is their dorm's idea king. Xie Wendong is genuinely worried that Lü Yao will be targeted by Yao Suna's sharp tongue, so he earnestly said, "Anyway, Brother Lü, you'd better stay away from her."

Getting really involved is no joke.

Lu Yao laughed and said, "I know what I'm doing, stop talking nonsense, bring me the contract."

Xie Wendong did manage to secure the best possible discount for Lü Yao, reducing the original price of the course from 68,000 to 47,600.

After readily swiping his card and signing the contract, Lü Yao went back to school for gravity training.

For a period of time afterward, Lü Yao's life became extremely regular.

Every day after waking up naturally, I would first go to the school's gravity training room to warm up, and then drive to the MMC boxing gym to train in fighting skills with Xie Wendong.

MMC's combat training courses are one hour long. Lu Yao usually has two classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. After training ends at four o'clock in the afternoon, he drives to a bar on Wenxi Road to study alchemy.

As Lü Yao gradually kept himself busy, his general experience was also accumulating rapidly.

Previously, I could only accumulate around 3,500 general experience points per day at most.

But now I can get over four thousand views a day.

With the experience gained in the previous few days, Lü Yao accumulated enough upgrade experience for a single alchemy recipe in just one week of training.

When choosing an alchemy potion formula, Lü Yao looked around and finally chose "Basic Vitality Potion".

The Basic Vitality Potion is the most basic potion in the alchemy potion recipe. Its effects include invigorating the body, increasing physical activity to a certain extent, slightly improving physical strength, and even promoting injury recovery and enhancing mental thinking.

Vitality potions are the kind of basic potions that dabble in a little bit of everything, but whose effects are not particularly significant in any particular area.

In the introduction to "Basic Potion Recipes", vitality potions have almost become a daily drink for adventurers and spellcasters.

Based on the basic formula of the Vitality Potion, various factions and even races have modified it to create different flavors according to their own needs.

For example, dwarves who like spicy food prefer the fiery pepper version of the vitality potion, elves like to mix it with nectar, and humans like to add hallucinogenic Amanita mushroom extract.

Lu Yao didn't want to play any fancy tricks, so he honestly followed the recipe for the "Basic Vitality Potion" to refine it.

The system has also thoughtfully translated the materials required for the "Basic Vitality Potion" recipe, and most of the required materials can be purchased on the market.

The remaining small portion of the material is classified as controlled material. Fortunately, Lü Yao is still a university student, and his school has departments in "Minerals", "Plants", and "Zoology" that are involved in research on paranormal materials.

After obtaining the various local materials, they cannot be used directly. They need to be refined, extracted, transformed, and finally synthesized using alchemy.

On this day when his experience was at its peak, Lü Yao deliberately set aside an entire day to refine the potion.

Because he had used his experience to max it out, every step of the alchemy potion preparation process seemed to be etched into Lü Yao's mind.

But even so.

Lu Yao still couldn't keep up with the first attempt at refining, and his frantic efforts led to the failure of the refining process.

It wasn't until the third time, with the experience and proficiency gained from the previous two attempts, that Lü Yao finally managed to refine a qualified primary vitality potion.

[You have successfully crafted a basic Vitality Potion. Alchemist experience +500]

When the system notification finally appeared before Lü Yao's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the reagent bottle to examine it.

In the 500 ml reagent bottle, the dark blue vitality agent was a slightly viscous, clear liquid.

If you look closely, you can almost see tiny specks of light floating and twinkling inside, making it look mysterious and beautiful.

The vitality potion that Lü Yao refined this time is the standard type, with a single dose of 1 milliliter for every 10 kilograms.

After taking the appropriate dose according to his own weight, he dripped it directly into his mouth using a dropper.

A slightly viscous texture instantly spread through the mouth, followed by a strong, strange taste of houttuynia cordata mixed with rotten apple.

The strange smell made Lü Yao feel nauseous: "Ugh!"

But as soon as he started gagging, the energizing medicine was quickly absorbed through his oral mucosa, and the active ingredients in the medicine took effect almost within seconds.

Lu Yao felt as if he had drunk a bottle of highly concentrated Gatorade, and his overall condition improved dramatically.

My body felt incredibly light.

My mind became exceptionally clear.

This feeling...

It's like someone who's played the old version of Legend of Sword and Fairy for decades, and then one day they're dragged to play Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K with ultra-high frame rates.

The feeling of the world changing in an instant brought a tremendous spiritual shock.

"call!"

Lu Yao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Vitality potions are really great!

The taste is absolutely disgusting.

Lu Yao looked at the alchemy potion on the table again and thought to himself, no wonder the vitality potion has been improved into so many flavor versions. It turns out that the basic vitality potion is just too damn hard to drink!

Fortunately, the formula for the basic vitality potion was already very mature, and the finished product was very stable. It could be mixed into any flavor of daily drink according to needs, so Lü Yao immediately began to work on modifying the flavor of the vitality potion.

……

The next day, Lü Yao arrived at the MMC boxing gym.

Having already warmed up, Lü Yao pulled Xie Wendong along as soon as they arrived, ready to start training. However, before starting this training session, Lü Yao first drank half a bottle of diluted vitality potion.

Once he was in the zone, Lü Yao couldn't help but let out a breath and said, "Get ready for today's practical simulation."

Xie Wendong smiled confidently and said, "Okay."

He had already reached the sixth level of physical cultivation and had undergone a long period of professional combat training. With the experience he had accumulated in the arena, he believed that dealing with a novice like Lü Yao would be quite easy.

But Xie Wendong soon realized something was wrong.

How come Brother Donkey reacted so quickly?

Why does it seem like Brother Donkey has completely read my every move?

The more they sparred in the ring, the greater the pressure became for Xie Wendong.

As time went on, Xie Wendong's physical strength gradually declined, but Lü Yao, who was replenished with vitality potions, was always able to maintain a good condition.

A dozen minutes later, Xie Wendong could no longer withstand the physical strain.

After quickly taking a step back to create distance, he shouted, "I'm not fighting anymore, my heart and lungs can't keep up!"

Combat itself is a sport that tests comprehensive abilities to an extreme degree. Under high mental stress, the body's oxygen consumption and fatigue accumulation will increase exponentially. The longer the fight goes on, the greater the physical exertion will be.

Hiding at the edge of the ring, Xie Wendong plopped down, panting heavily, and said, "Brother Donkey, you're in such good shape today!"

Lu Yao smiled but didn't say anything, handing the vitality potion he was drinking to Xie Wendong.

After taking a few suspicious sips, Xie Wendong's expression quickly shifted from suspicion to astonishment, and then to surprise: "This is a banned enhancer? Holy crap, I feel my condition returning incredibly fast!"

Lü Yao laughed and said, "The package doesn't contain any banned enhancement agents."

At that moment, Xie Wendong's unusually clear mind paused for a moment before he jumped up, his face beaming with excitement, and exclaimed, "Brother Donkey! We're rich! Absolutely rich! Should I take some to our manager to try?"

Lü Yao smiled.

This was one of his original goals.

He nodded to Xie Wendong: "Go ahead."

The next moment, Xie Wendong quickly jumped off the ring and rushed towards their coaching room like the wind.

In today's era of widespread self-cultivation, a highly effective enhancement supplement is of immense value!

They're really going to make a fortune!

While waiting for Xie Wendong, Lü Yao slowly and methodically untied the bandages on his hands on the ring.

Before long, a familiar scent, a woody aroma mixed with the fragrance of tobacco, wafted over. Lu Yao looked up and saw Yao Suna swaying as she approached the edge of the ring.

Today, Yao Suna wore a light blue fitted shirt and gray stretch wide-leg pants.

The wide-legged trousers fluttered like butterflies as Yao Suna turned, and above the knee, the trousers clung to Yao Suna's exceptionally rounded thighs like a bodysuit, outlining extremely full curves.

The smooth curves seemed to possess a magical power, causing many men around the training ground to subconsciously stare at Yao Suna...

Even knowing she was a woman like the Black Widow, he couldn't control his gaze.

Yao Suna approached Lü Yao's ring, stretching her arms out over the ropes. Her ample bosom, hanging precariously from her slender waist and narrow shoulders, seemed about to burst forth. As she half-lay on the ropes, her outfit instantly accentuated her breathtaking curves…

Yao Suna tilted her head and looked at Lü Yao: "Why didn't you reply to my messages yesterday?"

……

(Yao Suna OOTD)
