Chapter 87: Chapter 77 The Path of Feet is Also a Path, Technician Xiao Qin Takes the Stage (Third Update!)

"Hey, what are you doing..."

Chen Yun, who was sealed by the quilt, was pushed away abruptly. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, watching her good friend hurrying to get up.

"Morning exercise!"

Lin Yunqing hummed a light tune, quickly changed into casual sportswear and ran into the elevator down to the garage.

"Family heritage is really terrifying. Seeing students unable to walk, the losses of surnamed Yu in this generation are due to being classmates with little Qingqing rather than students."

Chen Yun buried her head in the pillow. Her sleep quality had been ridiculously poor these days, almost driving her to severe neurasthenia under high-intensity work and high-pressure environments.

Beep beep beep!

Just as sleep was about to come, the phone’s vibration and ringtone suddenly woke Chen Yun up.

As the head of the Inspection Department, her face twisted, almost ferocious, wishing she could strangle the annoying thing disrupting her rest.

"Director, it’s Chen Yun, what’s the matter? No, I’m already up, exercising. You can tell me your instructions, alright alright!"

Seeing the contact remark, most of Chen Yun’s anger vanished. By the time she answered the phone, her tone was gentle and her mood stable.

Even for someone surnamed Chen, lower-ranking officials should maintain basic respect towards superiors, or else her conservative father would know and she would have to take another course on ideological education.

"Damn instincts of a working person! Balding middle-aged greasy man! Arranging work even during holidays! Curse you never grow hair for life!"

Tossing the phone aside, Chen Yun cursed her boss viciously. After tossing and turning, unable to fall back asleep, she completely abandoned her plan of catching up on sleep.

She numbly washed her face, brewed a cup of aromatic coffee for herself, and collapsed onto the sofa.

The pain of insomnia was like torture, tormenting her brain nerves, making it impossible to focus, and keeping her in a constantly scattered state.

Before long, Lin Yunqing, along with Qin Shi, entered the villa.

"You heartless person, going out for morning exercise without bringing breakfast for your sister!"

Chen Yun gritted her teeth, pouncing to strangle her friend who valued love over friendship.

"Stop going crazy and biting people! You insisted on sleeping with me last night, rolling around all night, giving me dark circles!"

Lin Yunqing avoided the crawling and cranky Chen Yun on the sofa, looking full of disgust:

"Seeing your sloppy appearance, those young people in the Inspection Department see their goddess like this, the image would shatter into pieces."

Enduring the torment of insomnia, Chen Yun’s eyes were red, looking like a woman during her period, wanting to bite everyone:

"Quickly call A Xue, ask her to get me some tranquilizers, I can’t go on like this!"

She laid horizontally on the sofa, displaying her curvy long legs and proud upper body without a care.

"What’s wrong with Sister Yun?"

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"More than forty-eight hours without sleep, it’s an old issue. Working crazily disrupts her schedule. She used to rely on medication, but Uncle Chen stopped her and hired a therapist and Meditation Master to regulate her state."

Lin Yunqing was used to it, taking out her phone to contact another friend.

"It was improving, probably worsened recently due to increased stress."

Qin Shi glanced, feeling internally. Chen Yun’s breath was unstable, sometimes short, sometimes long.

If he probed deeper, he would find intense brain activity, like turbulent waves, hard to calm down.

"It doesn’t seem like normal insomnia symptoms."

He pondered secretly but didn’t say much, greeted Chen Yun, and headed to the basement.

Regulating spirit and soothing distractions are specialized domains accessible only to experts who have reached a certain level in spiritual cultivation and obtained Meditation Master certification.

"Teacher Lin and Old Liang both said I have exceptional Unity of Spirit and Body. Does this mean I can walk both the Old Martial Arts Path and cultivate spirituality?"

He started the virtual combat room, not immediately seeking revenge against the Tiger Fist guy from the Military Martial Arts Stream.

Days of persistent effort, aside from steadily progressing in [Deep Sleep].

The other achievement [Muscle Memory] was also close to upgrading.

"It’s already at 87%, today I’ll make a final push to break through."

Unfortunately, the Palace of Thought consumes a lot of spirit. If not, I could be training while having deep sleep, ensuring rapid progress!"

Qin Shi felt a bit regretful. Basic skills like technique and training methods can only be improved through hard work.

The Palace of Thought creates the "Unity of Body and Mind" effect, making training or deductive reasoning half the effort for twice the result.

The downside is it exhausts spirit, unlike Combat Retrospect, which can be activated anytime.

"Spirit is spirituality, the body is vitality. As someone who embodies Unity of Spirit and Body, my greatest advantage is wide career choices. If conditions allow, it is worth focusing on spiritual cultivation."

Qin Shi entered the combat room, beginning another round of seeking abuse.

About forty minutes later, he took off his helmet, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Letting the hungry Martial Arts System students of Qiguang Heng University go wild, [Muscle Memory] finally reached 100% progress.

"Life Force over fifty points, each one is a free sparring partner, equivalent to a five-figure hourly rate at Silver Horse Gym."

Qin Shi stretched his back, feeling refreshed. With his Wind Fist Stream techniques and True Essence Qi, he was no longer helpless against the top students of the New Martial Sect, enduring repeatedly and ultimately conquering through command reading.

In the numerous rounds just now, unless they completely disregarded martial ethics and tried numerical dominance, most matches turned into prolonged battles.

If news spreads, Martial Arts System students with Life Force over fifty struggling hard against high school students with about twenty-one, Qiguang Heng University would become the laughingstock of Jia Kai Science University, ridiculed forever.

"Life Force, techniques, combat experience... these are crucial factors determining victory. The latter two are especially prominent for me."

Qin Shi was confident, Life Force enhancement required gradual progress. He was getting closer to the forty-five-point pass mark, the urgency gradually reducing.

Occasionally, he fantasized, if he took Energy Liquid daily, could he surpass a hundred points before the college entrance exam, gaining special admission to Four National Universities?

"If Teacher Lin knew, she would probably kill me! Qiguang Heng University is her alma mater, and her brother is the General Affairs Department director. If I got poached by Four National Universities, all efforts would be in vain."

Qin Shi discarded the distractions. He hadn’t even set foot in a top-tier academy yet, how could he prematurely open champagne, dreaming of Four National Universities.

Those four highest academies have extremely limited admissions annually, especially for border areas like Heng Province, barely a handful of spots.

"Better be practical."

Qin Shi went upstairs, checking the upgraded effect of [Muscle Memory] along the way.

[Muscle Memory: Power cultivated through sweat. Train relentlessly, pushing to the extreme, your will shall lead you out of desperate situations.]

[Trait: Every capability enhancement provided accurate data feedback, and allows listening to body cues for relaxation and comfort.]

[Advanced Route: Break human limits using stronger muscles, freeing from genetic shackles. With each muscle tier advancement, you get closer to perfection (red, white, pink, purple, gold).]

"So muscle strength is determined by color? Golden muscles... sounds exciting."

Qin Shi took the elevator up to the first floor. In the hall, Chen Yun still lay on the sofa with wide-open eyes, resembling a half-dead salted fish.

His eyelids twitched, faint text appeared:

"Sternocleidomastoid, exhausted by 37%, fatigued.

Rectus Abdominis, exhausted by 42%, tired.

Pectoralis Major, exhausted by 67%, overloaded..."

Detailed muscle exhaustion data for various body regions appeared before Qin Shi.

Soon after, solutions followed.

"Sternocleidomastoid, needs massage... Rectus Abdominis, needs relaxation... Pectoralis Major, needs less load..."

Qin Shi thought, seeing Chen Yun like an old disassembled car, alarms everywhere:

"Addressing the issues seems simple enough, otherwise, I could play the role of a technician?"
