Martial Arts Song

Chapter 252: Silver Medal Promotion
"You two bad guys are finally back!"

When Chen Qing and Xuan Feng, dressed in suits and each carrying a suitcase, pushed open the gate and came back, Yang Ying, who was picking vegetables in the yard, saw them. He was startled at first, then stood up and cursed.

However, while cursing, her people walked towards the fire room in the yard and asked, "Have you eaten? We have finished the dishes for today, but there are still dishes for the afternoon. If you haven't eaten, I will cook them for you now."

At this time, it was already past noon and it was past two o'clock.

Chen Qing and Xuan Feng finished their morning practice, ate at the hotel, packed up, went to the "Hongjiang" Bund, and took the ferry back.

Time flies by in these things.

After hearing what his mother Yang Ying said, Chen Qing quickly smiled and said, "We have already eaten, no need to bother."

After that, he walked towards Yang Ying with the suitcase in his hand and said, "Mom, look what I bought for you."

As he spoke, he lifted one leg to support the box in his hand, then opened the box with both hands and took out the souvenir gifts he brought back from West City.

For a man, his mother is the easiest woman to please in the world.

Just say a few nice words and buy some gifts and my mother will be very happy.

After receiving the souvenir gifts from Chen Qing and a series of nice words, Yang Ying, who had been cursing at first, was suddenly coaxed into smiling.

Of course, Chen Qing also brought gifts back for Chen Yang and Chen Zhengzhong, but compared to Yang Ying's happy face, there was no change in the expressions on Chen Zhengzhong and Chen Yang's faces.

However, the way they both kept playing with the gifts that Chen Qing brought back truly reflected their feelings.

After appeasing the Chen family, Chen Qing and Xuan Feng put away the suitcases they brought back, changed back into their daily casual clothes, and resumed their previous lives.

Generally, when there is nothing to do in the afternoon, Xuanfeng will continue to practice "Tiger Step" while Chen Qing will practice "Tiger Roar".

But now, Chen Qing has already mastered the "Tiger Roaring Power". His next plan is to practice "slow mind" while communicating with the local masters of "Hu Hai".

Of course, before that, he had to complete the assessment task and be promoted to a silver killer.

"Since Xiang Wansheng's death has made the headlines of the Huhai Morning News, I believe the Yun organization will verify it soon. I should be able to settle the matter smoothly when I go to Gangqiao tomorrow, and then be promoted to a silver killer."

Because practicing "slow mind" would put oneself into a state of "sleep paralysis", which would probably make one feel not in good spirits, Chen Qing decided to go to "Gangqiao" tomorrow to settle the assessment task this time.

Since Xiang Wansheng’s death has been reported in the newspaper, the “Yun” organization must have received the news today.

So, he decided to go to the "Harbor Bridge" tomorrow.

……

April 28th, early morning.

Chen Qing woke up again under the influence of his biological clock, but unlike yesterday, today, when he opened his eyes, he no longer saw the roof of the hotel room, but the concrete ceiling of his bedroom.

Although the environment in the room cannot be compared with that of a hotel room, one's own bedroom always gives people a sense of security.

At this moment, Chen Qing suddenly seemed to have some understanding of the so-called "peace of mind".

This made him think deeply.

But after thinking for a while, his mind returned to reality, and he looked at the [Spirit] value at the bottom of his left eye as usual:
【Fine: 15.01122892】

【Qi: 9.278234699】

【God: 1.642413586】

During the six days of carrying out the mission in Xicheng, because he temporarily stopped training his mind, his [Essence] value did not increase significantly. Only the [Spirit] value continued to increase by 0.01 per day, and now it has become 1.64.

After checking his own "spirit", Chen Qing used a bedside thermometer to measure the temperature of his dantian abdomen.

The result is 40.8.

It is also increasing by 0.1 degrees per day.

After checking, Chen Qing got up and started today's practice...

At noon.

The sun is shining brightly.

After finishing his practice for the day, Chen Qing had dinner at home and then left the Chen family on the pretext of having something to do.

He walked all the way to the "Sanlin" public tram stop, bought a newspaper, and then read it while waiting for the public tram to arrive.

When the tram came with the sound of "ding ding ding", he got on the tram with the newspaper and went to the "Minato Bridge District".

More than two hours later.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the public tram that Chen Qing was riding arrived at the "Gangqiao District".

After getting off the bus in the middle of the "Gangqiao District", Chen Qing circled around the crowd using anti-reconnaissance tactics before arriving at the red brick house area where the "Yun" organization was located.

Then, he knocked rhythmically on the door of the "Cloud" organization's base, just like before.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom~"

After a moment, with a "swish" sound, the horizontal door on the gate was secretly opened.

A pair of dead fish eyes appeared behind the hidden compartment.

"Mr. Zuo is here~"

When these eyes saw Chen Qing, they immediately smiled warmly and opened the door.

"Old Fei is here."

Chen Qing asked the same question as before.

"Yes, yes."

The dead-eyed young man, Xiao Wu, immediately replied, "Uncle Fei is on the second floor."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and went straight up to the second floor.

When he reached the second floor, Fei Dongtao was already leaning on the railing with his hands, looking at him coming up the stairs.

"You really surprised me!"

Fei Dongtao looked straight at him and said, "You can actually complete the task in this way... do you have a 'divine transformation' master behind you?"

Ok?
When Chen Qing heard Fei Dongtao's words, his heart moved.

When he came here with Xuanfeng, and Lin Manli, Xuanfeng noticed the gaze of the "divine transformation" master who he had not noticed, that is, Fei Dongtao's gaze.

But now, listening to what Fei Dongtao said, it seems that Fei Dongtao did not realize that Xuan Feng was a master of "divine transformation".

This made him feel a little surprised.

Is it because Xuanfeng didn't look back at that time, so Fei Dongtao didn't notice it, or is it that Xuanfeng is more skilled than Fei Dongtao in the way of "training the spirit"?
Chen Qing made some guesses in his mind.

On the surface, his expression did not change at all, and he asked calmly: "Can we settle the assessment task today?"

Fei Dongtao was startled when he heard this, then he smiled and did not ask about the master behind Chen Qing. He nodded and said, "Of course! Please!"

After saying that, he propped himself up, took his hands off the railing in the corridor, made a inviting gesture towards the office, and then walked into the office first.

Seeing this, Chen Qing followed in.

After entering the office, he sat down on the sofa and coffee table in the middle of the office as usual.

Fei Dongtao walked to the desk at the end, picked up a bulging oil paper bag on the desk, and a box the size of a ring box but completely black, and walked over.

When he came to the sofa where Chen Qing was sitting, Fei Dongtao smiled and said, "Yesterday morning, the news that Xiang Wansheng had passed away was on the headlines of the Huhai Morning News. We immediately sent someone to verify it, and then found the person who issued the task to settle the account, and rushed to make this badge overnight."

As he spoke, he placed the oil paper bag and the pure black box in his hand on the coffee table in front of Chen Qing.

Chen Qing took a look at the two things, then leaned over and picked up the oil paper bag first, put it in front of his chest and looked inside through the bag opening.

There were five bundles of 100-yuan bills quietly stacked inside. Fifty thousand!

This is the reward for this assessment task!
After reaching out to take out the money from the oil paper bag and checking it one by one from the side, Chen Qing put the money back into the oil paper bag after confirming that it was correct. He then looked at the pure black box on the coffee table in front of him.

After placing the oil paper bag containing the money on the sofa beside him, Chen Qing leaned over again, picked up the pure black box on the coffee table in front of him, and opened it.

I saw a pure silver badge quietly embedded in the gap in the middle of the box.

Chen Qing reached out and picked it up with his thumb and index finger, then held it in front of his eyes and looked at it for a moment.

This silver badge also had the shape of clouds, but it was two clouds combined together. On the back of the badge was still engraved the code name he used when he joined the club, the word "Zuo".

Moreover, he pinched it lightly with his fingers and found that the silver badge was quite hard. It was obviously not pure silver and was probably mixed with other metals.

But he didn't say anything. After looking at it for a moment, he put the silver badge back in the middle of the box and re-inlaid it.

Then, he closed the box, looked at Fei Dongtao, and asked, "Does this count as my promotion to Silver Medal Killer?"

"Yes."

Fei Dongtao smiled and nodded, saying: "Congratulations, you have been promoted to the Silver Medal Killer of our 'Yun' organization! This silver badge is your identity certificate. From now on, as long as you hold this silver badge, no matter where you go, you can enjoy all the rights and interests of the Silver Medal Killer!"

After hearing this, Chen Qing nodded slightly.

Fei Dongtao smiled and said while the iron was hot: "Shall I get you the folder for the silver-level mission?"

In the past few times, when Chen Qing came to settle tasks, he would also take on new tasks.

Therefore, Fei Dongtao thought that Chen Qing was the same this time.

Unfortunately, Chen Qing had no such plans this time.

Chen Qing replied calmly, "No need, pick up the call later. I have something to do recently."

For the next period of time, he will have to practice the "slow mind" in the "three minds and two intentions" method of breaking the limit. By then, he will be in a haggard state with excessive mental stress and irregular sleep, which is not suitable for carrying out the task.

The tasks assigned by the "Cloud" organization need to be completed within seven to fifteen days. Before he has practiced the "slow mind", he is not suitable to take any more tasks.

Fei Dongtao was stunned when he heard his answer.

Subconsciously, I wanted to ask something, but then I thought that it was the other person's privacy and we weren't that familiar with each other yet, so I gave up.

"Ok."

Fei Dongtao nodded slightly and said, "Then come back when you want to take on a new mission."

"Ah."

Chen Qing hummed, then grabbed the oil-paper bag containing money, stood up, and said, "That's it for now. Thank you for your trouble."

After saying that, he walked out of the office.

As usual, Fei Dongtao accompanied me all the way to the office door.

……

After leaving the red brick house of the "Yun" organization, Chen Qing returned directly to "Sanlin".

Only this time he didn't take the tram.

Although he had a huge sum of 50,000 yuan in cash, he was not afraid of being targeted by thieves - he could sense it as long as the thief set his eyes on him.

But if he could avoid these trivial troubles, he would naturally try his best to avoid them.

Otherwise, who knows if the commotion among the crowd will cause unnecessary incidents.

Therefore, he chose to return by taking a rickshaw from one district to another.

He first stopped a rickshaw at "Gangqiao" and took the "Ganghang". Then, after getting off at "Ganghang", he stopped a new rickshaw and took the "Luhang".

In this way, he crossed one district after another and returned to "Sanlin" in just over an hour.

Nothing unexpected happened during this period. The gangs were not as rampant as they were during the day. They still had to consider the face of the police station and would not do anything reckless.

When Chen Qing returned to the Chen family yard, it was around five o'clock in the afternoon.

At the end of April, the temperature began to gradually warm up and there were more sunny days.

Today is a sunny day.

At five o'clock, the sun began to set.

In the yard, mother Yang Ying had already started cooking in the fire room. Xuanfeng had also finished a day of practicing martial arts and was taking a bath in a basin in the drain in the yard.

Chen Yang was helping out in the fire room.

In the utility room on the first floor, the sound of hammers hitting each other rhythmically could be heard.

Everyone is busy with their own things.

In the yard, the shadows cast by the setting sun shining through the wall were gradually spreading across the entire yard.

After taking a quick look at the situation in the yard, Chen Qing took the money into his bedroom and put it in the drawer of his newly added bedside table.

"It's about time to buy a safe."

Looking at the drawer filled with banknotes, Chen Qing seemed to be thinking about something.

Up to now, he has been in "Hu Hai" for more than two months and has earned more than 200,000 yuan.

When he first came into contact with the "Yun" organization, he earned 100,000 from the "Axe Gang" through the mission of "Letter of Submission". In the subsequent consecutive bronze-level missions, in addition to the rewards, he managed to make about 18,000.

Plus the 50,000 troops now heading towards Wansheng.

He put all the more than 200,000 together, and it was already a bit "crowded".

In addition, his books and secret manuals on breaking limits, as well as some sundries, also needed something safer to hold.

So, Chen Qing came up with the idea of ​​buying a safe.

In addition, this money is enough to realize his previous dream and buy a car.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing's plans for practicing "slow mind" during this period of time have changed slightly.

"Then I'll use this rare 'rest' time to buy everything I want to buy."

Just when he made this decision, suddenly——

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Qing looked back at the door, pushed closed the drawer of the bedside table containing the money, walked to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, Xuanfeng, who had just taken a shower and put on his clothes, was standing with an embarrassed look on his face.

"what's up?"

Chen Qing asked.

After hearing this, Xuan Feng smiled innocently and said, "Um... I wonder what the dance hall here looks like..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing chuckled.

It turns out that I am addicted to playing.

He immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry about what it is. I just want to ask you, do you have money to play? Or do you want to borrow money to play? It's not impossible, but let's make it clear in advance that nine out of ten will go and thirteen will return."

In the end, Xuanfeng came knocking on the door shyly and left cursing.
