"Ah!" Lu Qian was slightly taken aback, then she glanced at Feng Lina with a flushed face. She softly said, "It's fine, it's fine. Baby, get ready, we'll head to the amusement park in a bit."
"Yay!" Lu Tingting cheered, then hesitated and added, "Mom, if you still feel unwell, we can go next week."
Although Lu Tingting was on summer vacation, in her young heart, she knew that her mother had to earn money to support her, so she didn't suggest going the next day.
Lu Qian's face turned a bit awkward when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. We can go now."
"Ha!" Xu Jianxing couldn't help but laugh, but then he felt a slender hand grab his waist and pinch him hard. Even he couldn't help but wince in pain. Xu Jianxing grabbed her hand and said to Lu Tingting, "Yes, Tingting, Mom is much better. Get ready quickly, we'll wait for you downstairs."
As he spoke, Xu Jianxing pulled Lu Qian's hand from his waist, and the two of them walked downstairs together. Lu Qian muttered as they walked, "I'll see if you dare laugh at me again."
Xu Jianxing laughed heartily, raised his hand, and slapped Lu Qian's buttocks. Then, he ran away like he was escaping.
"You scoundrel," Lu Qian covered her buttocks and angrily cursed at Xu Jianxing's back, but soon couldn't help but giggle.
After that, Xu Jianxing, Lu Qian, and Feng Lina took Lu Tingting to the amusement park. They played until around 8:30 PM before returning. During this time, Xu Jianxing sent a message to Su Wan'er saying he wouldn't be home that night. Under Su Wan'er's questioning, he confessed, which naturally led to Lu Qian's gentle scolding.
At this moment, Lu Tingting, who had fallen asleep in the car, was gently placed on her bed by Xu Jianxing. He carefully left the room and closed the door.
When he walked a bit further, Xu Jianxing looked at Lu Qian and chuckled, "Wife, let's go to bed."
"You little scoundrel," Lu Qian blushed and glared at him, then giggled like a queen, "Xu Jianxing, serve your queen back to the palace."
"Sure!" Xu Jianxing bent down, and when he stood up, he picked up Lu Qian by the waist and carried her into her room, then locked the door tightly.
Not long after, in the luxurious bathtub, soft moans could be heard, composing one moving chapter after another.
After several rounds of passion, the two finally fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, at 5:00 AM.
Xu Jianxing woke up and looked at Lu Qian, who was still sound asleep. He carefully tried to remove her arm from his body, but as soon as he did, Lu Qian opened her sleepy eyes and asked, "Husband, what time is it?"
After a night of deep connection, Lu Qian had resumed calling him "husband" as she did in the game. This made her feel more comfortable and natural. Calling him Jianxing felt very awkward. Xu Jianxing felt the same way, as he had been calling her "wife" for a year, and changing it would be very difficult.
So, Xu Jianxing smiled and said, "It's only 5:00 AM. You can sleep a bit more, I'll go exercise."
"I'll go with you," Lu Qian tried to get up, but after a few attempts, she fell back onto the bed, exhausted. Xu Jianxing laughed mischievously, "After a night of my education, do you really think you can get up today!"
Lu Qian's ears turned red, and she glared at him, "Who asked you to be so beastly."
"Ha ha, I like hearing that. You sleep a bit more. When I come back from exercising, I'll make a loving breakfast for you and Tingting," Xu Jianxing said with a smile.
"Okay," Lu Qian nodded heavily, feeling a sense of happiness. Although she didn't know how long this happiness would last, she wanted to cherish the present and avoid any regrets in the future.
Then, she seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Right, husband, there's a temporary access card for the villa complex on the computer desk. Take it, or you might not be able to get in later."
The Yunhai Villa Complex, being the residence of the city's top elite, naturally had strict entry checks. To obtain a temporary access card, a resident of the complex had to vouch for you, and if anything went wrong, the resident would be held responsible.
Xu Jianxing smiled and said, "Okay, I know."
He walked to the computer desk, picked up the temporary access card, and looked at it. It seemed quite official, with his name, photo, and ID information. It was almost like a mini-ID card.
Xu Jianxing wasn't surprised that Lu Qian knew his ID number, as he had been required to provide it when he first moved into the complex.
After that, Xu Jianxing changed into his exercise clothes, waved goodbye, and walked out of the villa complex, heading slowly toward the beach to test his lightness skill and other abilities.
Finding a secluded spot by the sea, Xu Jianxing carefully checked that no one was around, then activated his lightness skill. He leaped into the air, reaching a height of about 7-8 meters before slowly descending, landing about 10 meters away.
The lightness skill, which he had practiced countless times in his dreams, was even more exhilarating in reality.
Although he was very excited, Xu Jianxing only practiced for a short while to avoid being seen by others, as binoculars were common in the modern world.
After testing the lightness skill, Xu Jianxing found a large rock about 2 meters high by the sea and began testing his mining skill. As soon as he placed his hand on the rock, he felt as if he had a third eye. Through this "eye," the rock became transparent, and he could see everything inside it clearly.
"X-ray vision?" Xu Jianxing's mouth dropped open in disbelief, but soon he grinned mischievously and rubbed his chin, "Can this see through clothes?"
Although he wondered, Xu Jianxing didn't really believe it, as it would be truly bizarre if the mining skill could see through clothes.
He tested it on a random target, and it didn't work.
At this point, Xu Jianxing understood why the mining skill could see through rocks. In the game, mining was simple; you just dug a few times and found ore. In the real world, this was clearly impossible. But with the mutation of the mining skill, he could easily find ore in reality.
So, the mining skill in the game and in reality had similar effects. Of course, the difference between the game and reality was significant for Xu Jianxing.
Now, he knew that with this mining skill alone, he could become incredibly wealthy. However, as his cultivation improved, money became less important to him. Still, he couldn't do without it sometimes. Therefore, Xu Jianxing decided to visit Teng'an soon to play with jade and make some money.
At this point, he had the ability to protect himself and wasn't worried about any accidents. More importantly, he wanted to see if he could get better items by offering jade and other precious stones.
Next, Xu Jianxing began practicing the basic finger techniques. Although called "basic" in the game, in reality, they were quite powerful.
These techniques not only included long-range attacks using true qi but also some negative effects, such as the level 10 skill "Poison Finger." This skill caused continuous damage over 30 seconds, reducing the target's health by 1% every 6 seconds, totaling 5% of their remaining health.
In the game, this 5% was insignificant and could be healed with various skills or potions.
But in reality, being hit by Poison Finger once was like donating blood. The second time would cause the victim to become pale, sweaty, and cold. The third time would lead to blurred vision, thirst, dizziness, confusion, and even unconsciousness. After the fourth and fifth times, most of the body's tissues would be severely deprived of blood, leading to rapid death.
In essence, with this skill, Xu Jianxing could kill silently in a few minutes, and the higher the skill level, the faster the killing speed.
Additionally, there was another level 10 skill called "Inch Finger," which was a powerful close-range attack that also reduced the target's defense. The skill was similar to Poison Finger.
In the game, a Finger Warrior with the secondary profession of Array Master was a very strong support class, capable of healing, damaging, increasing defense, and reducing defense. However, other classes with various auxiliary skills were also very powerful, making the Finger Warrior less outstanding in the game.
In reality, everything depended on skill and control.
Xu Jianxing practiced for about 20 minutes before stopping, as his true qi was running low. He sat down and meditated for nearly an hour to recover most of it.
Checking the time, it was around 7:30 AM.
Xu Jianxing got up and headed back to the villa complex. When he reached the east gate, he showed his temporary access card and was checked by the security guard before entering the complex.
As Xu Jianxing jogged toward Villa 19, feeling happy, a small red car drove by. The young woman in her twenties driving the car glanced at Xu Jianxing and frowned, muttering to herself, "I feel like I've seen this man somewhere. He looks so familiar, but I can't quite place him. Who is he?"
