Chapter 104: Getting Revenge on the Monkeys
Although he now had two computers and could watch two scripts at the same time, Viola's side was, as usual, uneventful.
Li Chengxi only needed to glance at it every now and then.
He was now mainly focused on Yang Yiyi's situation.
With the pixel style chibi art, it was hard to tell how well she was punching, but Yang Yiyi was very serious about it.
Li Chengxi planned to teach her the Iron Head Skill and the like after she became proficient in Monkey Boxing.
Although the operation was similar, the Wuxia Script and the Fantasy Script were very different when it came to adding skills.
One required the consumption of Faith Points and had a requirement for Devotion.
The other had no consumption cost but took a very long time.
The resources between the different scripts were not universal.
In the Fantasy Script, Li Chengxi's Faith Points had already surpassed eight thousand and were rapidly approaching ten thousand.
As for the True Qi Value in the Wuxia Script...
Helping Yang Yiyi out of her predicament yesterday had used up nearly a quarter of it.
Sending food to Yang Yiyi also consumed a little bit each time, but now, there was no sign of recovery at all.
If it was completely depleted and he still couldn't find a way to restore the True Qi Value, that would be troublesome.
Even getting food would become a problem for Yang Yiyi.
"Brother Li, are you playing Minesweeper again?"
Just as he was thinking about these things, Lei Lei walked into the convenience store.
She glanced behind the cashier counter and saw two laptops in front of Li Chengxi.
One was running Minesweeper, and the other was running Solitaire...
Lei Lei was momentarily speechless:
"You bought a new computer just to play this?"
"It's the life of an old man. I can't be bothered to play particularly intense games anymore."
Since, in others' eyes, Li Chengxi was always just playing little games, he didn't bother to explain.
He looked up and asked:
"What are you buying today? Potato chips again?"
"No potato chips, I'm getting fat."
Staying at home all day eating snacks and doing homework would definitely make one gain weight.
However, Li Chengxi thought that with Lei Lei's features, being a bit rounder might give her a more voluptuous beauty, a style reminiscent of the High Tang Dynasty.
Lei Lei grabbed two sports drinks from near the door to pay, and said in passing:
"Brother Li, are you free tomorrow or the day after?"
"What for? I'm basically free every day."
After all, he didn't have a regular office job.
"Did you forget? I told you before, about pretending to be my best friend's boyfriend."
"Oh, that. Easy enough, you guys set the time."
"Xiaoyan called me this morning and said that guy went to her apartment building and is waiting for her downstairs. She doesn't even dare to go out."
Lei Lei put a ticket down for Li Chengxi:
"Then tomorrow afternoon. I'll call you. We'll meet at the City Swimming Pool."
"You've arranged everything?"
"I did some asking around. That kid goes to the swimming pool to swim and work out every afternoon. You just need to show up and have a 'chance encounter' with her."
As she spoke, Lei Lei asked in a slightly doubtful tone:
"Brother Li, what kind of shape are you in?"
"What does that have to do with my physique?"
"If you show up with a little potbelly, you'll definitely be outshone."
"It's alright, I won't embarrass you. I was on the volleyball team in university, after all."
Li Chengxi had been on the school volleyball team since high school and had even competed in provincial tournaments during university.
Although it had been two years since he graduated and returned home, Li Chengxi's foundation was still there.
Even without much exercise, his figure wouldn't have gone too far out of shape.
That being said, Li Chengxi had been sitting behind the cashier counter playing games all day for two whole years.
It wasn't obvious with clothes on, but without them, it was another story.
Lei Lei was a little skeptical, but she was too embarrassed to say, 'take off your shirt and let me see.' Besides, she was the one asking for a favor, so she could only nod.
"I'll be counting on you for this, Brother Li. See you tomorrow."
Without looking up, Li Chengxi waved goodbye to Lei Lei.
His attention was almost entirely on Yang Yiyi.
For Yang Yiyi, having the chance to learn real martial arts was an extremely rare opportunity.
After all, in her ten years at the Green Robe Sect, she had only been laying a foundation and hadn't learned any of the sect's real martial arts.
Although the Monkey Boxing had a tiny bit of a gap compared to the peerless martial arts Li Chengxi had boasted about, it was enough to make Yang Yiyi happy for a long time.
She cast aside the matter of being beaten by the monkeys yesterday and focused wholeheartedly on practicing the fist technique.
The individual moves were easy to remember, but actually mastering them was not something that could be solved by rote memorization, let alone using the moves against an enemy.
Yang Yiyi's comprehension was lacking.
When others learned something in one try, she had to learn it three or four times, practicing continuously until she mastered it.
She practiced for a whole day yesterday, and when she woke up this morning, she started practicing again.
Fortunately, Monkey Boxing was not a very complex fist technique.
Yang Yiyi finally felt like she was getting familiar with the patterns.
To improve further, she naturally needed to continue practicing constantly.
"You've started practicing so early?"
"Brother Li!"
Hearing Li Chengxi's voice come from the Jade Tablet, Yang Yiyi happily moved closer.
"Look, I've learned it. I'm going to get revenge on the monkeys later!"
"..."
Was this girl born in the year of the rat? How could she be so forgetful?
There were so many of them.
You've only learned Monkey Boxing for a day and you're already planning to get revenge?
But seeing the pixel style chibi Yang Yiyi clenching her fists, full of confidence and eager for revenge, Li Chengxi swallowed his words back down.
"Alright, give it a try. But if things look bad, run immediately. I can't save you that many times."
There wasn't much of the initial True Qi Value left.
Li Chengxi could only try his best not to interfere directly now.
Yang Yiyi didn't seem to hear the last part of his sentence.
Her attention was entirely on 'Alright, give it a try.' Hearing this, she immediately nodded happily and said:
"I'll definitely win this time. I won't disappoint you, Brother Li."
Having confidence was a good thing, but Li Chengxi really couldn't figure out where she got it from.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Having grown up in the mountain forest since she was a child, Yang Yiyi was very good at remembering mountain paths.
So, not long after leaving the cave, she found her way back to the place where she was beaten yesterday.
However, going against wild animals bare-handed was too disadvantageous.
What if they had the rabies virus?
Li Chengxi disassembled his mop at home and had Yang Yiyi take the handle as a staff.
If she really couldn't win, a few wild swings with the staff could also sweep the monkeys back.
But Yang Yiyi was full of confidence.
As soon as she arrived, she picked up a rock and threw it towards the treetops.
"You damn monkeys! Come on out!"
Early in the morning, the monkeys, who were still dreaming in the trees, were awakened by Yang Yiyi.
One by one, they poked their heads out from behind the canopy.
Seeing that the 'big monkey' who got beaten yesterday had returned, they all bared their teeth and shrieked, picking unripe peaches from the trees and throwing them at Yang Yiyi.
Before, she could only cover her head and flee in disarray.
This time, it was truly different.
Yang Yiyi was seen striking an opening stance, then raising her arms to knock away the flying peaches with a few smacks.
She even cheekily made a face at the monkeys.
Monkeys were petty creatures.
Seeing this scene, they were immediately enraged.
Many monkeys leaped down from the trees, coming at her with authentic Monkey Boxing.
This time, Yang Yiyi wasn't flustered.
She calmly struck out with both fists, sending the surrounding monkeys flying with a few quick punches and kicks.
It wasn't that Monkey Boxing was so incredible; it was purely that learning a martial art had given Yang Yiyi confidence.
After all, for monkeys of their size to clash head-on with a Terrifying Upright Ape was no different from a heavy truck crashing into a family car.
They simply weren't in the same weight class.
