That night, Luo Tai practiced many of the positions seen in Japanese adult films; he matured! In the end, he and Chun Li embraced and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found that Chun Li was no longer by his side.

Luo Tai did not think he was dreaming, because the bed still held Chun Li's lingering fragrance, and his face still bore the imprint of her lips. He felt a bit melancholy as he went to the courtyard for a simple wash. Then, with great enthusiasm, he practiced a set of boxing moves in the courtyard, his movements skilled and powerful. The seventh-level free fighting skills had completely merged with him and were now part of his real life.

All of this indicated that the entire "game" was not virtual, but had truly happened to him.

"Maybe there's still a chance to draw Chun Li..." Luo Tai muttered to himself. However, now he had to start his urban life.

The system had given him seven days this time, and after seven days, he would have to enter the movie world again. But in terms of the time difference, what he truly had to live through was his long real life.

Luo Tai looked at the dimly lit sky and knew it was time to go to work; a new day had already arrived....

Jibei is the provincial capital, a city with nearly a thousand years of history. Luo Tai had never left this place since he could remember. He was raised by the uncles and aunts at the orphanage and had never met his biological parents.

According to the uncles and aunts at the orphanage, he was an abandoned child, and no one knew the reason for his abandonment. Logically, a physically healthy, intellectually normal male infant would not be abandoned, even if he were an illegitimate child.

Luo Tai had tried to find out about his origins many times, but to no avail. Over time, he gradually got used to his situation.

He often consoled himself that there must be a reason for everyone's existence in this world, and instead of desperately seeking the "why," it was better to live each day to the fullest.

Luo Tai's academic performance from childhood to adulthood could be described as average, neither outstanding nor lagging behind. To become self-reliant as soon as possible, he did not go to high school but attended a state-run technical school for the employment of disabled and orphaned youth, where he studied electrical engineering.

He was relatively intelligent in science, and with his diligence, he not only obtained an electrician's maintenance qualification certificate but also found a job at the age of 18. As his work experience grew, his skills became more proficient, and he soon became capable of independently maintaining daily electrical systems.

He worked for three years at a private company. Later, due to poor performance, he was laid off. However, because of his solid electrical maintenance skills, he quickly found his current job as an electrician at the后勤处 (后勤处 translates to后勤 department, which can be interpreted as后勤 management or后勤 services) of a nationally renowned medical university.

His monthly salary was over 2,000 yuan, with three types of insurance and fixed weekends off. This was considered a very stable job. Luo Tai always felt very lucky about this.

In today's society, many university graduates, who were more educated and capable than him, were unemployed at home. Therefore, Luo Tai cherished his job very much. He was never late or early to leave, and he always completed tasks assigned by his superiors promptly and with high quality.

Luo Tai was a relatively quiet person with few social interactions. His main entertainment after work was to run home, connect to the internet, and watch movies, which included adult films.

Before obtaining the divine watch and entering the movie world, the concept of social interaction was a weak area in Luo Tai's life, and he did not even want to try to change it.

However, through his month-long experience in "Fist of Legend," he had changed, and he could feel it himself. He felt that his life was no longer monotonous and boring but was absolutely rich and colorful. This experience was probably unique to him, not just in China but in the entire world.

After finishing his preparations, he put the bank card in his pocket and left home. It was only about six o'clock, and he decided to run to work as usual. Although Jibei City is large with a population exceeding 5 million, Luo Tai always left early, which was why he was never late.

After running to his workplace, he would stop at a roadside breakfast shop to drink a bowl of soy milk, eat four fried dough sticks, and an egg. Living alone had its advantages, the biggest being that one person being full meant the whole family was not hungry.

The university where Luo Tai now worked is officially called the Shanzhong Provincial Medical University, one of the best five medical universities in China, with a strong faculty and a gathering of experts and professors. The university has four affiliated hospitals: the First Provincial Hospital, the Second Provincial Hospital, the Third Provincial Hospital, and the Fourth Provincial Hospital, each specializing in different medical fields.

Those who are admitted to the Shanzhong Provincial Medical University are the best from all over the country. They will be trained to become excellent doctors and experts. After graduation, those with outstanding performance can directly join the university's affiliated hospitals, with generous salaries and the opportunity to encounter various clinical cases.

Luo Tai's job was not complicated. After work, he would first conduct a routine inspection of the school's power grid. Each electrician was responsible for a different area, and Luo Tai managed the circuits of the third teaching building. Usually, there were no issues, so this task could be completed in about half an hour.

Then he would return to the worker's duty room to stand by. At this time, there would be some miscellaneous tasks to do, but they were often not related to electrical work. Many tasks involved helping with various odd jobs, such as moving goods in the warehouse, removing weeds from the lawn, or even unclogging drains. In short, "multi-skilled." Since the school paid them, they naturally could not just sit idly in the room.

Luo Tai never rejected these miscellaneous tasks and would happily accept and complete them, which was something other electricians could not match. In modern society, you get paid for the work you do. If an electrician unclogs drains, what do the drain cleaners do?

This was a very important reason why his superiors liked Luo Tai. When assigning miscellaneous tasks to other electricians, they would often encounter resistance, and over time, no one's face would look good. But with Luo Tai, such problems never seemed to arise.

At first, other colleagues thought Luo Tai was just showing off, but over time, they no longer thought so and instead genuinely believed he was a straightforward person who did not mind taking a small loss.

Since the old immortal had warned Luo Tai not to tell anyone about the watch, or he would be turned into a mute with the intelligence of a three-year-old, Luo Tai, despite feeling excited, still acted the same as he did yesterday after work.

After completing his inspection, he returned to the duty room and looked out the window. However, his mind wandered far away, thinking about Chun Li and the details of each day in the "Fist of Legend" world.

He had actually killed藤田刚 (Fujita Gang) with his own hands... His thoughts began to drift... He realized that virtue could also be accumulated in reality, even though it could not be used for draws in reality. However, it could be very useful in the movie world. Therefore, he should still do more good deeds in reality.

While he was thinking, the door to the duty room opened. "Xiao Luo!" A man in his forties came in from outside the duty room and smiled at him, "Daydreaming again? Ha, by the way, Brother Wang told you, you should get a girlfriend. That way, your personality will become more outgoing."

This Brother Wang, whose full name is Wang Bingyong, is an old electrician with a straightforward personality who usually treats him well. In Brother Wang's eyes, Luo Tai is an excellent young man, with the only flaw being his introverted personality.

Brother Wang's wife works at a matchmaking agency, so influenced by her, he often tries to set Luo Tai up with girlfriends. However, Luo Tai had always politely declined with various reasons.

Before entering the movie world, Luo Tai had no female friends in his life. He would feel uncomfortable talking to a woman for more than five minutes and, deep down, he somewhat rejected the idea of arranged marriages, believing that first love should be a chance encounter, like in romantic movies.

Of course, he did not require it to be so romantic, but at least... at least not an arranged marriage. In fact, Luo Tai did not realize that in modern marriages, 60% are formed through so-called arranged marriages.

"Brother Wang, if you find someone suitable, introduce her to me," Luo Tai suddenly said. He was not sure why he said this; perhaps Chun Li had opened the door to his longing for women, especially after last night...

Chun Li had become a benchmark in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to meet more women to see how they differed from Chun Li.

Wang Bingyong was surprised for a few seconds after hearing Luo Tai's words, then laughed and said, "Wow, the sun is rising in the west, Comrade Xiao Luo... You're starting to think about women now, ha ha."

Luo Tai scratched his head and said, "Not really, you always encourage me and try to set me up. If I keep refusing, it would make me seem like I have high standards."

"Ha ha!!" Wang Bingyong wiped his face with a towel and said, "That's right. Look at you, tall and handsome. It would be embarrassing if you never had a girlfriend. Alright, I'll remember your words. I'll have my wife find someone for you in the next couple of days. Let me tell you... she has quite a few options."

"Not in a hurry, not in a hurry," Luo Tai said, feeling as if his sister-in-law was a matchmaker.

"He he, by the way, I'll leave early this afternoon. If anything happens, help me out. My wife says the World Union Mall is having a sale with discounted items, and she insists I go with her..." Wang Bingyong said with a pout.

"No problem, go ahead if you have something to do," Luo Tai nodded.

"You're a good guy, Xiao Luo..." Wang Bingyong gave a thumbs up and said, "I'll remember your request. This time, I'll have my wife set you up with a whole platoon."

Luo Tai smiled awkwardly.....
