Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

Chapter 59: Chapter 53: Qi Blood 19 Units

Upon truly seeing the dorm, Su Yue was shocked.

How is this a dorm? This is clearly a row of villas.

Everyone exclaimed loudly.

Especially the girls, who shouted even more excitedly.

In a city where every inch of land is precious, how could ordinary people afford to live in such a detached villa?

No wonder people were excited.

”It seems the class leader’s private dorm is just a ruse.”

Su Yue shook his head.

In such a big villa, even ten people couldn’t feel crowded.

But after walking a bit further, everyone realized it was all just a façade.

This was simply an abandoned development.

Perhaps it was supposed to be a tourist area before, but halfway through the construction, it was abandoned.

A villa is a villa, but behind it is a desolate mountain, with a stinky ditch not far away.

”Ahem... forest oxygen bar, livable ecology, away from city congestion, say goodbye to smog and noise, embrace thousands of acres of ecology. Luxurious villas, respectfully inviting distinguished guests for appreciation.”

Looking at this abandoned villa, a classmate started imitating an exaggerated advertisement voice, trying to sell the property.

Everyone, with bruised eyes and limping, started joking around once the external threats were gone.

Youth, such is their nature.

”The life of a successful person is to live in the envy of others, a secret health retreat, blending water and sky, imposing and detached, portraying a back-to-basics life story, creating a life of soaring passion. Would you like a set, handsome?... Haha!”

Another one seamlessly picked up the joke.

Everyone burst into laughter.

The property advertisement, paired with the sight of this abandoned building, was simply toxic.

Liao Ping and Liao Ji, the two brothers, silently hung their heads. Their dad was a real estate developer that everyone criticized.

Ordinary people can’t afford to buy houses, but renting is expensive too.

...

Following the building number, Su Yue found his villa.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The villa was unfurnished, with cement walls and floors, a huge living room with only a single bed, cold and desolate, with echoes when speaking.

Under the bed, there was a safe deposit box, a place to store personal items.

Su Yue threw himself onto the bed.

In such a luxurious villa, it felt like living in a warehouse.

Well, he was used to it.

After tidying up a bit, Su Yue directly activated the cost of love.

Since he didn’t have a detector on him, Su Yue couldn’t see the exact numbers, but he felt a surge of hot blood in his body, indicating a significant increase in Qi Blood.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should be 19 cards now.

Yes.

He was exactly 2 cards stronger than the strongest, Liao Ping.

This reached the lowest admission threshold for West Martial.

...

Available diligence points: 89.

Diligence counter:

1: Sleep exemption

2: The cost of love (next activation costs 300 diligence points)

3: Save your dog life

4: Man and ghost are distinct

Qi Blood value: 19 cards

...

The system deducted 200 diligence points.

Su Yue raised his arm.

Hm, this time both arms were fine and usable.

He stood up.

Plop.

Unable to stand steadily, Su Yue fell forward, face-down on the ground.

Diligence points +1

His face was hit by the rough cement floor.

Damn it.

This time, the disabled limb was his left leg.

Su Yue struggled to get up, his entire left leg was completely useless.

No, it should be said it’s stiff.

Unlike before when his arms were feebly disabled, his left leg was like a big piece of wood, unable to bend at the knee.

”Sigh, adapt for another week.”

Su Yue could only sigh.

He activated his skills to take advantage of the instructor’s one-week absence, just to get accustomed.

Since his leg was useless, he might as well practice the basic blade technique.

Grumble.

Su Yue suddenly felt hungry.

Coming to this desolate village, none of them brought food, the text message before departure said food and accommodation were provided.

Great, now they had to cook for themselves.

With his crippled leg, Su Yue wobbly made his way out the door.

”Stiffness has its advantage, I don’t need a crutch now.”

Su Yue chuckled bitterly.

His left leg could be used as a crutch; it’s a practical use.

...

Upon reaching the kitchen, some people were already rummaging through the fridge, and there were quite a few of them, it seemed everyone was hungry.

”Everyone listen to the vice class leader, let’s put our heads together and we’ll definitely make a good meal.”

Liao Ji was busily organizing the manpower.

”Liao Ji, who appointed you vice class leader? How come I, the highest authority in this class, didn’t know about it?”

Su Yue stepped forward and asked.

”I was elected vice class monitor by everyone.

In future work, I ask the leadership for their guidance.”

Liao Ji wasn’t embarrassed, his official tone was practiced.

”Regarding your application, the organization will need to hold a meeting to discuss it.”

Su Yue pinched his thumb, index, and middle fingers together and then frowned while tapping the table, saying seriously.

It was rather odd, how could someone love being an official this much.

Are they enjoying the thrill of authority?

”I accept the organization’s assessment.

If the leader has no instructions, then I’ll guide everyone to continue cooking.”

Liao Ji also had a serious expression.

The kitchen was an absolute mess.

In fact, it made sense; since they were able to join the potential class, they must have practiced rigorously.

These people, where would they find the time to learn cooking?

Su Yue missed his little cousin very much.

...

”I have a cooking video by the food writer Wang Gang on my phone, let’s learn to cook following it.”

Finally, a savior arrived.

Wang Qiangqiang walked in holding a phone; although the phone had no signal, the video could still be watched.

”Great, there’s fish and pickled cabbage here; I want to eat sour cabbage fish.”

Gong Ling said excitedly.

”Let me be the chef!”

Zhou Yuncan rolled up his sleeves with determination on his face.

”The vice class monitor should capture the precious moments of this cooking session.”

Liao Ji opened his phone camera and started filming.

...

”Hello everyone, I’m Wang Gang, and in this video, I’ll share with you a homemade dish...”

Everyone stared intently at the video, afraid of missing a single precious frame.

The knife in Zhou Yuncan’s hand was trembling.

...

”First, we choose a fresh grass carp...”

Teacher Wang Gang raised a fish, smiling kindly.

”We don’t have fresh grass carp, so we’ll use refrigerated instead.”

Every time teacher Wang Gang said something in the video, Liao Ji would explain it on his phone.

This guy was always brushing up his presence.

...

”First take its head off!”

”This step is to prevent anyone from rushing in, shouting to spare the fish.”

...

”Using a cleaver, clean the grass carp’s guts and any dirt...”

The teacher instructed.

”Those who like to eat guts and dirt can keep them for yourselves.”

Liao Ji said.

...

”If it’s too troublesome, you can ask a helpful vendor to handle this step.”

”The vendor isn’t helpful and we can’t find one, so we have to do it ourselves.”

...

”When handling the fish head, the grass carp’s teeth must be removed because they have a fishy smell.”

”Zhou Yuncan couldn’t find the grass carp’s teeth; he thinks we’re not afraid of the fishy smell...”

...

”Use salt and beer to wash the fish meat and bones.”

”We are martial artists and not allowed to drink, so we’ll use water instead. Just like life’s bitterness, there are always various winding roads, but with flexibility, all roads can be navigated.”

...

”Separate the cut fish meat and bones into two small bowls for marinating.”

”This step is to prevent the grass carp from coming back to life.”

...

”Next, prepare the side ingredients, prepare 200 grams of pickled cabbage, and cut it into small segments.”

”Zhou Yuncan said there are many people, so he decided to cut 2000 grams of pickled cabbage. He suggested bribing the class monitor with fish to eat the pickled cabbage. I have to stop this kind of corrupt behavior...”

...

”Chop the garlic into small grains.”

”If you don’t like Xiao Li, you can replace it with cutting Xiao Ming.”

...

”Heat the pan until hot, then add an appropriate amount of base oil.”

”Zhou Yuncan added a large amount of wide oil; maybe his family owns a mine, I must curb such extravagance...”

...

”When the oil is sixty percent hot, fry the fish bones, so the fish soup is thick and white.”

”The class monitor asked Liao Ping to judge the oil temperature with his finger, he got a blister; the stupidity is beyond words...”

...

”Slide the fish slices for 15 seconds, otherwise they will become tough.”

”Zhou Yuncan slid them for 30 seconds, and the fish slices got tough, like the brevity of life, fleeting moments; seizing official positions early is key...”

...

”The last step, splash hot oil.”

”Before the last step, the class monitor already came over with a bowl and took the first piece of fish, showing he is only after personal gain and unfit to be class monitor; I should replace him...”

...

The bustling meal brought classmates closer together.
