The gap is getting wider; I beg for everyone's support~~~ The first update is here!
...
In a building of the resort near the front gate, through a window, a pair of eyes, furious enough to spit fire, took in the intimately close scene of the two people.
"Young Master Feng, do you want me to have Pi Lao San and his guys take care of that Qin kid?"
Li Pangzi was still standing by Li Feng's side. Today, he had messed up, and in order to regain his footing, he had no choice but to stick close to Li Feng, fearing that just one oversight might lead Li Feng to complain to his own father, and then his job would be utterly lost.
Pi Lao San was the security chief of the resort and a well-known figure on Ninghai Road, ruthless and brutal. It was rumored he had a few lives on his conscience, but now he had 'whitewashed' himself, securing a position at the resort, which also indirectly ensured the safety of the premises.
If such a desperado were to make a move against Qin Fang, it would indeed be a permanent solution. This was also why Afanti was so afraid of Li Feng; having been at the resort for several years, Afanti had seen enough of the methods of Pi Lao San and the like and had no doubt about the possibility of his body ending up floating in the Yangtze River.
"Is your brain filled with mush?"
Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately flew into a rage, "We've just had a fallout with Qin Fang, and now you want to send people to take care of him? Wouldn't Tang Feifei know it was our doing? You really have the brains of a pig!"
"Yes, yes, I have the brains of a pig, I have the brains of a pig..."
Li Pangzi kept rebuking himself, but he was listening for the subtext in Li Feng's scolding. He earnestly lowered his head, waiting for Li Feng to finish lecturing him.
"Go and tell Pi Lao San to dig up some dirt on that Qin kid. He seems to be living quite comfortably lately! Let's remind him that there are people he simply can't afford to provoke..."
Sure enough, Li Feng paused for a moment before giving Li Pangzi his orders.
"Understood, Young Master Feng! I won't let you down..."
Li Pangzi naturally nodded eagerly in agreement, hoping to redeem himself. Fortunately, Li Feng didn't press the issue any further and just waved him away, since the pretty waitress he had taken a fancy to had already been delivered. With nowhere to vent the fire burning inside him due to Li, he could only take it out on this beauty.
...
As for Qin Fang and Tang Feifei, in the end, one took a car back to the city, and the other leisurely cycled back. Qin Fang was too thrifty to abandon his bicycle there!
The reason he convinced Tang Feifei was simple: she was too tired from coming over and now had no energy left! Tang Feifei felt a little heartache when she arrived, and though she was somewhat reluctant to leave, she still took a taxi while Qin Fang cycled back, mainly because he wanted to continue improving his Riding Skill Proficiency.
After the barbecue contest, Qin Fang now had a certain understanding of Skill Levels. A Beginner Level Skill meant only being slightly better than someone with the same ability. However, reaching Intermediate Level was a complete game-changer.
A novice who had never barbecued before had beaten a three-time barbecue champion. Such a story would be hard to believe, even for ghosts.
But it really did happen, and the reason was that Qin Fang's Cooking Skill had reached Intermediate Level.
"24.4%... It looks like I'll have to make a habit of cycling out for a spin every day before setting up my stall..."
What kind of effects reaching Intermediate Level in Riding Skill would bring, Qin Fang wasn't sure yet, but as his Proficiency increased, he found himself cycling faster with stronger pedaling force.
"This easy?"
Moreover, for nearly the same distance, Qin Fang found that his experience cycling there and back felt completely different.
The strength in his legs was immense, and it felt like even a light kick was more powerful than when he had used all his strength on his way there. The bicycle shot forward rapidly like an arrow released from a bow.
"Could it be because of the level-up?"
The bicycle moved steadily forward, its speed quite fast, but Qin Fang wasn't really exerting much effort. He pondered the reason, which seemed to him could only be due to the character's level upgrade.
"Strength +5, Agility +5... it must be because of these two attributes!"
Qin Fang reflected on his Level 1 attributes, and the only ones that seemed relevant were these two. After hesitating for a moment, he stopped the bike at the side of the road and tried lifting the not-so-light bicycle with both hands.
Whoosh~~
Qin Fang couldn't even feel much weight as he easily lifted the bicycle, which weighed at least over twenty pounds. He even tried hooking just one finger under it without any strain or discomfort.
"Is it this light?"
Qin Fang frowned and recalled the effort it took to move the bike when he had brought it out earlier; it was obviously much more strenuous then.
"It seems there are still many things I haven't figured out..."
Clearly, the +5 in Strength had given Qin Fang much more powerful physical capabilities. As for how much more powerful, he couldn't quantify it just yet, but from his current state, it was definitely a significant improvement. However, the benefits that this strength brought... were still unknown to him for the time being.
Screech~~~
Just as Qin Fang was about to get back on his bike and continue his journey back to the city, a car suddenly sped past him from behind, at an alarmingly high speed. It even emitted a piercing screeching noise as it took a hard turn and drifted.
"Damn, doesn't anyone know how to drive... a car accident is going to happen sooner or later!"
Qin Fang was startled as the car nearly brushed against him as it zoomed past. A slight deviation, and he would have been a goner. But that's how it was these days; there were far too many wealthy yet unscrupulous people around.
Screech~~
Before Qin Fang could regain his footing, another car charged from behind. This time he was alert; he heard the sound, quickly hooked his bike with one hand, and leaped to the roadside to avoid being hit by this car, which was faster, more reckless, and more impulsive than the previous one.
"Sigh, these rich second-generation kids... I hope they don't hit anyone!"
Watching the two fast cars, Qin Fang felt helpless. Nowadays, such incidents were all too common, and anyone could be hit by a car that appeared out of nowhere while walking on the street.
Bang~~~
However, just when Qin Fang thought no more reckless cars would appear, and he was about to continue his journey, a loud crash echoed from ahead.
Looking up, he saw that the car behind had caught up to the one in front and had executed a fierce collision, resulting in... both cars being totaled in an instant.
"Uh, jinxing it..."
Qin Fang was suddenly covered in sweat, having just mentioned a car accident, and then it happened in less than two minutes. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to proactively ride his bike forward. Ignoring people in need wasn't his style; at the very least, someone had to call for help!
