A few days later.
early morning.
Beautiful villa, yard.
Mark practices here alone.
He didn't ask Shen Xiaoli to come.
He has been abstaining from sex with women for more than ten days.
These days, he practiced the foundation-building skills such as keeping calm and breathing in and out every day seriously.
Suddenly his body shook.
"I have a strange feeling. I should be getting started with foundation building skills." Mark opened his eyes and said.
"Show krypton metal panel." He muttered silently.
[Krypton metallic panel:
Host: Zhou Qiang.
Current recharge balance: 13 million RMB.
Current person: Mark.
Strength: 16+
Speed: 15+
Spirit: 16+
Physical condition: healthy
Skills: Superb Changquan, beginners of stock trading, beginners of foundation building...]
"Sure enough, I have already mastered the foundation building skills."
"Recharge first and then improve your skills."
"Krypton metal panel, I want to top up, use a US stock account, top up 10 million RMB." Mark recently got several million US dollars from US stocks, he is not short of money.
A prompt appears in the properties panel:
[The host has recharged 10 million RMB, and the current recharge balance is: 23 million RMB. 】
"The next step is to upgrade the foundation building skills."
"Hey, by the way, you have to order food before upgrading skills. The foundation building skills were introduced so suddenly that I almost forgot to order food in advance. Haha, what a happy trouble."
"Hey, I want to order a meal. Just bring me the most expensive set. The sooner the better. Yes, send it to Villa No. 5." Mark directly called a Tan's restaurant he frequented.
Half an hour later, the table was filled with food.
"Krypton metal panel, I want to upgrade my foundation building skills from basic to superb."
[Ding, host consumption reminder, skill: foundation building has been upgraded from entry level to superb, consumption is 16 million. 】
[Ding, it will take 3 hours to upgrade the foundation building skill to three levels. 】
[Ding, a friendly reminder, as your foundation building skills improve, your body will change accordingly, so please replenish a lot of nutrition as soon as possible. 】
"I've already prepared it. Let's eat."
The table full of food was quickly eaten by Mark.
"My whole body is feeling hot again, almost the same as when I upgraded my Chang Fist skill before."
"Metabolism is also speeding up."
"Hiss, it feels so uncomfortable. I feel like my internal organs are changing violently."
"Not good, I started to have severe nausea, and my stomach felt very uncomfortable."
"Damn it, I'm going to have vomiting and diarrhea."
...
Three hours later.
Mark lay weakly in the bathtub.
"The reaction to the foundation building upgrade this time is stronger. My three-dimensional attributes should have changed significantly."
"Display Krypton Metallic Panel."
[Krypton metallic panel:
Host: Zhou Qiang.
Current recharge balance: 7 million RMB.
Current person: Mark.
Strength: 20+
Speed: 20+
Spirit: 20+ (Note: Within 30 points, add 1 point to 5 million.)
Physical condition: healthy
Skills: Changquan is superb, stock trading is new to you, foundation building is superb...]
"Very good, very good. Strength, speed, and spirit are all 20 points."
"Complete foundation building means sufficient energy, full energy, and vigorous spirit. It is the 'three complete' realm in Taoism and prepares for the subsequent inner alchemy."
"My heartbeat feels slow and strong."
"I'm breathing. It feels very long."
"This time the foundation building skills seem to be improving on the internal organs."
"The detoxification process just now was really long and uncomfortable."
“But after detoxification, I feel like my whole body is rejuvenated and energetic.”
"If the last improvement of the Chang Fist skill mainly strengthened the external muscle strength, then this time the foundation building skill mainly strengthens the internal organs."
"Now you can truly become a young man in his twenties."
"In the future, the power and speed of three-dimensional attributes should not be easily reduced, right?"
"Such a vital body will be wasted if not used properly."
"I've been abstinent for more than ten days, it's time to have some fun."
"I still asked Shen Xiaoli to come over. I haven't seen her for more than ten days. She has contacted me several times. I guess she also wants to come, hehe."
As soon as Mark picked up the private phone, he heard his commonly used mobile phone ringing.
"Hey, Xiaomi, what's the matter?" Mark asked casually, but it was Wang Xiaomi who called.
"Second uncle, I'm free today, let's go find Grandpa Zhang?" Wang Xiaomi said happily. A few days ago, Mark finished memorizing medical books and went to Dr. Zhang with Wang Xiaomi. At that time, Wang Xiaomi was busy with the beauty salon and had no time to go.
"Okay, when should we go?" Mark said with a smile.
"Second uncle, let me ask Grandpa Zhang first to see when he is free. Just wait for my call."
...
As soon as Mark turned off the phone, he heard his private phone vibrate.
"Shen Xiaoli misses me again? Hehe." Mark picked up the phone and looked at it. Sure enough, it was Shen Xiaoli who sent a text message, saying that she was free today and wanted to come to the Beautiful View Villa. I wonder if Mark was free.
"Hey, Xiaona, I miss you too." Mark called directly and smiled.
"Brother Qian, shall I go find you now?" Shen Xiaoli said hurriedly. She didn't know whether she missed Mark's money or Mark's body. Anyway, she couldn't help but contact Mark if she didn't see him for three to five days, and wanted to stay at the Beautiful View Villa for one night.
"Xiao Na, I actually wanted to call you just now to make an appointment. It just happened to be someone who asked me for something. So, if I'm free tonight, I'll call you." Mark smiled.
"Okay, Brother Qian, I'll wait for your call." Shen Xiaoli said a little disappointed. She has recently fallen in love with a bag and has been waiting for Mark to call her over and ask Mark to buy it for her.
Just as Mark hung up the phone, his regular cell phone rang again.
"Hey Lily, what's the matter?" Mark said with a smile. Everything seems to be coming together.
"Dad, grandma said she was making dumplings today and asked you to go home for lunch," Ma Li said. She and Manao have been staying in Ling Mingyu's courtyard for the past two days.
"I have something to do at noon today, you can eat."
"Dad, what's the matter with you?"
"I'm going to see Dr. Zhang." He didn't hide his self-study of Chinese medicine from his family, and Ma Li and the others also knew about Dr. Zhang.
"Dad, how are you doing with your Chinese medicine studies?"
"It's not bad, I've already memorized three medical books."
"Dad, you are so amazing. You are over forty and you can still continue to study."
"Aren't we advocating lifelong learning now? As a teacher, I have to lead by example, haha."
"Dad, is it possible for you and Wang Xiaomi to still be together?"
"What's wrong? Why do you ask?"
"Dad, last night, grandma found you a blind date. I think there is someone who is more suitable for you. Do you want to meet him?"
"Oh? Who is it? You can actually see it?"
"I heard that she is also a teacher, but she is a university teacher. The photos are quite good-looking. She is thirty-four years old and does not look old at all. She has never been married. It seems that she has been single because she doesn't want to have children."
"Don't want to have children? Why?"
"I don't know. Dad, do you want to see me?"
"Let's talk about it in a few days. I'm still busy right now."
...
As soon as Mark hung up the phone, Wang Xiaomi called.
"Second uncle, Grandpa Zhang and I have made an appointment. We will have lunch at Fugui Teahouse together." Wang Xiaomi said happily.
"Okay, where are you? I'll drive to pick you up later." Mark smiled.
"Second uncle, I'm here at the beauty salon. If you're okay, come over now."
"Okay, I'll go over now." Mark said happily.
