Chapter 372 of "Online: I Can See Health Bars" opens with: Inside the game.Tianyuan Town.Fang Yu slowly opened his eyes.Just as he entered the game, Fang... See what unfolds next!
Inside the game.Tianyuan Town.
Fang Yu slowly opened his eyes.
Just as he entered the game, Fang Yu immediately heard some noise outside the door.
Whatâs going on?!
A sense of alarm struck Fang Yuâcould it be that a thief had broken into his house?
Thatâs bad!
Did I lock the door when I exited the game?
I canât remember, I really canât recall.
In real life, Fang Yu often forgets whether he turned off the gas or locked the door when he leaves, let alone in the game.
This is really bad!
His elder sister seems to still be asleep; nothing better happen to her!
If this petty thief dares to do anything, Iâd take his life!
In his urgency, without even taking time to throw on clothes, he directly pushed the door open.
The next moment, Fang Yu was stunned.
Outside the door, his elder sister was practicing her martial arts in the spacious living room, performing slow-motion punches that would occasionally speed up suddenly into a burst of Fast and Slow Fist, before returning to a slow pace like an old man practicing Tai Chi in the park.
What Fast and Slow Fist??
Though he was somewhat astonished, Fang Yuâs mind eased.
At least it wasnât a burglar.
Speaking of which, who would be so bold to burglarize in broad daylight?
Besides, Iâm from the Foolish Underworld; if a thief were to break in and attack, weâd have to investigate their background.
Theyâd be putting their lives on the line if theyâd try to steal from just anybody.
This home used to be so poor, there was nothing to steal.
Now, itâs got such a solid background that nobody dares to steal from it.
If a thief really did appear, itâs highly likely thereâs a problem, that someone is targeting me specifically.
Fang Yu was anxious just now because of his concern; he hadnât thought it through.
Now that heâs sorted it out, heâs reassured, feeling like he was worrying over nothing.
Still, Iâve got to be more careful in the future, and find a way to arrange some protection for our home.
Now that Iâve been promoted, I have the ability to mobilize some people to secretly protect my elder sister so that she can have some security even living on Sweet Flower Lane.
Watching his elder sister so immersed in martial arts training, Fang Yu waited a while but she still didnât seem to notice him, focusing on how to practice here and how to move there.
After some thought, Fang Yu spoke out.
"Elder sister?"
"Ah!"
Startled, his elder sister turned red upon seeing it was Fang Yu.
"I, I was just practicing the martial arts Doctor Ding taught me, I didnât notice you were there. Did I make too much noise with my training and wake you up?"
The elder sister seemed as if she had been caught doing something secretive and was extremely embarrassed and shy.
That throbbing, quickened heartbeat immediately transferred to Fang Yu.
This skill is pretty useful at a time like this; he could immediately guess his elder sisterâs thoughts.
Fang Yuâs lips curled into a slight smile as he said.
"Of course not, I woke up naturally. You continue practicing, itâs all right, Iâve been through it too, this is all basic, nothing to be embarrassed about."
Thatâs right! Iâve made my way here by leveling up!
What is basic? I have no idea, the point is to pretend like I do.
A little sympathy for my elder sister is always right.
Sure enough, his elder sister was cajoled, nodding excitedly like she was encouraged; quite naive.
Being this naive, if you were out in the world, you would have a bad time!
But now that my status is rising, as long as I reveal my identity, there are really not many who would dare to make a move on my elder sister.
Fang Yu gave his elder sister a brief check-over and found that besides some physical weakness from the bloodletting, she was fine.
Ding Hui could be trusted to do things right; despite being put through the wringer last night, she was able to recuperate.
"Right, Ding Hui left you some medicine, remember to take it on time. And donât overexert yourself with martial arts training; we were all beat up quite badly last night, you should rest more."
"More haste, less speed. Studying martial arts is a long-term endeavor. Ding Hui must have told you, too."
"Iâm already happy that youâre willing to study martial arts. I donât ask for any great achievements. Itâs good enough if it can help you exercise and ensure your health."
Fang Yu then instructed his elder sister with a few more words of advice, essentially what one often needs to pay attention to when practicing martial arts.
Although he relied on leveling up to improve, he had been subjected to this kind of philosophy training before at the Physical Training Hall and had heard and learned some at the Foolish Underworld, so he had no trouble teaching someone a little about what to be mindful of in martial arts.
After his elder sister nodded continuously and seriously noted it down,
Fang Yu then went back to put on his clothes and started to leave for work at the Foolish Underworld.
Mornings are always in a rush.
People busy with their lives hurry along the streets.
Although Fang Yu had already had breakfast, the smell of the breakfast stalls on the street made him unable to resist buying two fried dough cakes to eat on the go.
Just after leaving the stall, Fang Yuâs brows slightly furrowed.
His gaze swept towards two individuals.
The two were dispersed on either side of the street, visibly following the flow of people walking forward.
But their gazes were clearly stealthily directed at him.
It was just a brief pause when he quickly swept by, but Fang Yu immediately caught it.
Two Little Demons, dare to have designs on me?
Fang Yuâs eyes narrowed slightly.
If a tiger does not show its power, do you think Iâm a sick cat?
The route he was supposed to take to the Foolish Underworld, he immediately changed direction, heading to the less crowded alleys.
After a few turns, at a corner, suddenly a figure collided with him head-on, startling Fang Yu so much that he nearly drew his sword.
Thud.
Her hand grabbed Fang Yuâs wrist.
"Come with me."
Hesitant for a moment, Fang Yu followed her into the bustling main road where the two were tracking him, and now they were no longer in sight.
"Che Linfang, there were two people following me just now; I suspect they were..."
