Chapter 9

How could Su Wen not understand what was going on? This mysterious situation was definitely caused by Xiaotian. Thinking of this, he hurriedly entered the system space. As soon as he came in, he saw Xiaotian, who was commenting on the image in front of him.

He was a cute kid, about a meter tall.

He was Yang Yu's little assistant, named Xiaotian.

"What did you do?" Su Wen almost shouted, "Do you know how much it hurts?"

"Master, you're here." Xiaotian quickly turned around and pointed to the image in front of him, "Is this what Master is talking about? I'm helping you train. Look at your movements now, they are so standard, so elegant, almost perfect and boring."

"Helping me train?"

"Yes, I used the system's energy to correct your movements, to help you train faster. I am so loyal and dedicated. Is Master not satisfied?"

Xiaotian looked pitiful, and with his appearance of a child, anyone who could still be harsh to him at this moment would probably be heartless.

"That... I am satisfied, but can you be a bit gentler?" Su Wen scratched his head.

"Master, if I'm gentler, the movements won't be accurate. The movements will get harder, and I might even need to stimulate your body multiple times." Xiaotian pretended to be very troubled.

"Damn, are you trying to kill me?"

"Master, what are you saying? Don't you want to improve your vitality quickly? Think about it, once your vitality improves, you can recycle anything you want. The things you recycle can be sold for money or collected. Then you will have money, status, and even girls. Your future will be bright... As the saying goes, 'Endure hardship to become a leader.' Master, endure this little pain now, and in the future..."

"Stop, I'll endure!" Su Wen quickly shouted.

"Master, then hurry up and train." Xiaotian urged, "Master, you're the best. I will always support you. I am your most capable assistant."

Su Wen's consciousness returned, and he felt even more pain in his body. He now understood that Xiaotian was almost like a little devil. This time, he used such a righteous excuse to help him, and he didn't know how many more miserable days awaited him.

He maintained one movement for half an hour and then collapsed on the ground.

After resting for less than ten minutes, Xiaotian urged him again. Su Wen, without a word, quickly stood up and hurriedly assumed that terrifying posture, and just like that, he held it for another half an hour.

After performing the first movement three times, Su Wen's morning training finally ended. He looked over and saw that Yang Xiao had already left, and he himself was in a state of cramps, unsure if he could even go down the mountain.

When he got home, it was almost nine o'clock.

Su Wen's mother was surprised to see him return, "Xiaowen, when did you go out? I thought you were still sleeping, so I didn't call you. The food is in the pot, it should still be warm. Go eat quickly."

"Mom, I went out to exercise this morning." Su Wen gave an awkward smile.

In the morning, Su Wen casually recycled some coins.

The task completion rate was now 789/1000.

At five in the afternoon, he climbed up to Jawa Mountain again.

"Master, continue with the first movement. You haven't fully mastered it yet."

"I know."

Su Wen spent a few minutes and finally completed the movement on his own. He held it for half an hour, then rested for ten minutes, and held it for another half an hour. After doing this three times, he could easily perform the movement.

The sky grew dark.

He walked down the mountain alone. His mother had already prepared dinner, and his father was waiting for him. In the distance, he could hear the barking of dogs, and it seemed that Aunt Huang was arguing with Uncle Huang again. Da Mao's mother was calling Da Mao to come home for dinner, and Xiao Yu seemed to be going to watch TV at someone else's house. The sound of the bicycle was really grating.

At 7:30 PM.

His father habitually watched the weather forecast, and his mother brought out two dishes from the kitchen: one was potatoes cooked with meat, and the other was garlic eggplant. Apart from the pork, the potatoes and eggplants were grown by Su Wen's family.

"Let's eat." His mother handed Su Wen a steamed bun, which she had made herself. It was particularly large, about the size of two buns sold outside.

"Mom, I can do it myself." Su Wen took the bun and picked up his chopsticks.

"Tomorrow will be sunny. We should take out the wheat from the house to dry it. We should sell some of it, or it will get infested with bugs and mold." His father said, picking up a bun.

"There's only a little wheat. If we dry it, we'll dry it." His mother shook her head and then looked at Su Wen, "Xiaowen, your father has arranged a job for you at an antique shop in the city through a comrade. You'll start work in a few days. Take this time to rest at home. If you want to eat anything, just tell me, and I'll make it."

"Mom..." Su Wen wanted to say something but stopped. With the Great Dao Recycling System, he no longer needed a job, but seeing his mother's hopeful face and his father quietly putting down his chopsticks, he couldn't bring himself to refuse, "Okay, I'll definitely go to work. When I earn money, I'll take good care of you."

"Earning money or not doesn't matter. We have food, so we won't starve." His mother gave Su Wen a piece of meat, "When you're in the city, don't go out at night. It's very chaotic there. During the day, work honestly. If the boss pays you, don't fool around. If you need anything, call home. When you're done with work, come back home."

"Understood, Mom." Su Wen felt a lump in his throat.

"Xiaowen will start work in a few days. Why talk about this now? Let's eat. It's almost eight, and there's a TV drama you like to watch." His father scolded his mother a bit.

Su Wen couldn't help but smile. Their family of three was very warm.

He had a good night's sleep.

When he woke up, Su Wen went to Jawa Mountain again.

"Master, you have almost mastered the first movement. Now let's start the second movement." Xiaotian began to guide Su Wen's training again.

"The second movement?" Su Wen looked at the second image in his mind. It showed a person bent into a bow shape, with both hands and feet touching, looking like a super curved arch.

Su Wen struggled for a long time, but his body still wouldn't bend. Just then, Xiaotian exerted force again. He felt a tingling sensation all over his body, and the movement was completed in one go, but the pain came again. Su Wen gritted his teeth and began to hypnotize himself. For a better future, he had to endure!

Just like yesterday, he held the position three times, each for half an hour, which Xiaotian said was the best effect.

When he went down the mountain, Su Wen kept touching his waist. He felt like it wasn't even his own anymore.

In the morning, Su Wen wandered around casually.

At lunchtime, a girl ran to his house. She had long black hair, a tall figure, and a very pretty face. If not for seeing her in person, it would be hard to believe that such a beautiful girl could exist in this rural area.

Her name was Lin Xinyi, the daughter of Lin Dashi from the village, and the second person after Su Wen to be admitted to university.

"Xinyi is here." His mother had already seen the little girl.

"Aunt, I brought some food for Brother Xiaowen." Lin Xinyi held a bowl, and it was clear that it contained chicken.

As she said this, her face turned red.

"Xiaowen, Xinyi brought you some food." His mother called to Su Wen, who had just entered the door, "This girl came home from school yesterday and has only been back for two days. She came here as soon as she got back."

"Aunt, I also went to other people's houses." Lin Xinyi quickly said.

"Really? Did you also bring them food?" His mother teased.

Lin Xinyi was speechless.

"Mom, Xinyi just came to see me." Su Wen felt a bit awkward and looked at Lin Xinyi, "You don't need to bring me food in the future. Look at how thin you are; you must be saving money at school."

"Not really." Lin Xinyi pouted.

His mother had already prepared lunch and insisted on having Lin Xinyi eat with them. Sitting next to Lin Xinyi, Su Wen talked about her school life. He then remembered that Lin Xinyi was in her third year at Jiangning University, studying management. From what he knew, this major was quite good and easier to find a job in compared to his archaeology major.

When they talked about this, his mother mentioned that Su Wen would also be working in Jiangning, which made Lin Xinyi very happy. She immediately insisted on getting Su Wen's phone number. Although Su Wen said he would change his number when he went to Jiangning, the girl was persistent and said that even if he changed his number, she wanted to save her number on his phone first.

In the evening, he trained.

He could now independently complete the second movement. Just as he was about to end his training for the day, he heard Xiaotian's voice, "Congratulations, Master. Your vitality has increased by 0.1."

"What?"

Su Wen was excited!

After suffering for two days, he finally saw some results.

A normal person's vitality is 1. Su Wen had increased his vitality to 0.9, still below the normal level, but as long as he continued to train, he believed he would soon return to the normal level and even surpass it. The increase in vitality also made him feel stronger and more agile.

That night, Su Wen had a rare good sleep.
