Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

Qiao Rui shouted loudly in a daze, half asleep and half awake, and Liu Xinyue suddenly woke up.

Sitting up straight, Liu Xinyue pulled Qiao Rui's hand and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Qiao Rui, did you have a nightmare?"

Shaking his head without saying anything, Qiao Rui came to his senses. He stood up and looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly but not very hot. It was around three or four in the afternoon.

After Liu Xinyue and he washed up simply with half a bucket of water, Qiao Rui took out some sausages and milk from the refrigerator and put them on the dining table.

While eating, Liu Xinyue asked Qiao Rui, "Where do you think we should start looking? We almost finished searching the east part of the city last night. Should we go to the south, north, or west part of the city?"

"The south of the city, that's the road to her hometown, she's more familiar with it. The north of the city she seems to go to less often, and the west of the city leads to the new district, she has almost never been there alone. And we can't shout randomly when looking for someone, we have to call her alternately, and the interval can't be too short, otherwise her throat will be damaged before her." Qiao Rui drank the milk in the cup in a few gulps, wiped his mouth with paper, and said: "In addition to looking for people later, we have to find food. I guess everyone has gone to the supermarket to buy instant food and mineral water, so we have to prepare some as well. We don't know when the water and power outage will end!"

"Okay... um... cough! Cough! Cough!" Seeing that Qiao Rui had finished eating, Liu Xinyue quickened her pace to finish the sausage in her hand, but she choked in the end.

Seeing this, Qiao Rui hurriedly handed Liu Xinyue the milk, patted her on the back and said, "Slow down, there's no rush for these few minutes!" He had calmed down now. There was no rush to find someone. In such a big city, and with the lack of modern scientific and technological means, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone from the vast sea of ​​people. They still had to consider solving the current lack of water and food first. According to the remaining time in the template, they had to get at least enough food and water for the two of them to survive for more than fifty hours.

Speeding along the street, people were everywhere. Some were rushing around searching for the martial arts light group, some were gathered in twos and threes, whispering to each other, and occasionally they looked around, very alert.

Many shops on the street were closed, or opened for a while and then closed again. Only a few grocery stores were open, but people had sold out all the food and water in them. The shop owners were left looking at the boxes full of change and the empty shops with complicated expressions, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

More people were blocking the entrances of shopping malls and supermarkets, arguing with the managers. Due to the power outage, all supermarkets chose to close, and only the manager led a few employees to explain loudly, but they were instantly drowned out by the complaints and abuses of the crowd.

"what should we do?"

Liu Xinyue asked Qiao Rui while galloping.

Last night, Qiao Rui was lucky enough to find a book on low-level light skills called "Four Directions Travel" and a book on low-level martial arts secrets called "Taizu Changquan" on the top of a tree by the roadside. Qiao Rui learned the boxing himself and let Liu Xinyue learn the light skills. In this way, Liu Xinyue could barely keep up with Qiao Rui's speed.

"Let's see what happens. It shouldn't be too long. Those small grocery stores can't satisfy the needs of the entire city. If the water and power outages continue, there will be problems..."

Qiao Rui analyzed the situation calmly, but he did not stop walking and looked around for the familiar figure and ball of light.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Xinyue was a little skeptical. This is a modern civilized society.

"Since ancient times, heroes have used force to break the law. Now that everyone has internal strength and powerful and direct power, there will be too much instability. Moreover, they are extremely hungry. By then..."

When Qiao Rui said this, he glanced at Liu Xinyue, and Liu Xinyue also understood. For a moment, the two of them were silent and just concentrated on searching.

In the streets and alleys, the two of them were like a plow, plowing every corner they passed by, leaving no corner untouched, but they only harvested some martial arts light balls, and the figure of the beauty was always vague and nowhere to be found...

Late at night, the world seemed to have quieted down, with only the occasional shouting and fighting sounds coming from nowhere continuing the day's restlessness. There were fewer and fewer ownerless balls of light, so people fought for them more and more fiercely.

Under the moonlight, two figures walked slowly forward. They were Qiao Rui and Liu Xinyue who were returning after an unsuccessful search.

"Gululu..."

A rumbling sound was heard from the abdomen, which was quite obvious in this quiet night.

The two stopped and Qiao Rui looked at Liu Xinyue, "Are you hungry?" Actually, they got up at three or four o'clock in the afternoon and had a meal of sausage and milk. It has been at least seven hours now. No wonder they are hungry.

"It's okay, we'll be home soon. I remember there are some biscuits and nuts on your coffee table. They should be enough for us to eat. But we'll be out of food tomorrow morning." Liu Xinyue touched her stomach, shook her head and smiled bitterly.

The moonlight was cold, making Liu Xinyue's fair face look even paler. Her hair was soaked by sweat and stuck to her ears. She looked very tired. Looking at Liu Xinyue blankly, Qiao Rui suddenly felt that he was very selfish, letting such a delicate girl run around with him for so long on an empty stomach.

Liu Xinyue was a little flustered by Qiao Rui's gaze. She rolled her eyes at Qiao Rui and said coquettishly, "You...what are you looking at!"

With an apologetic smile, Qiao Rui said softly: "In the afternoon, I was considering whether to maintain order. Now I think it's really stupid!"

“People’s hearts are in chaos. Survival is the most important thing. If we want to find Xueyun, we must not only survive, but also be strong enough. In this case, why bother about rules and order? Let’s eat first and talk about other things later!” Qiao Rui said with bright eyes and a firm face.

"Yes, yes, only when you are well fed can you go find Xueyun better!" Liu Xinyue didn't quite understand what Qiao Rui said, but she knew that it would be easier to get things done if you were well fed.

"You don't have to wait until you get home hungry to eat. I'll take you to get some food now." Qiao Rui said as he walked.

"Where are we going to get food?" Liu Xinyue's eyes lit up and she followed quickly.

"You'll know later!" Qiao Rui smiled proudly but didn't say anything. There must be food in that place, but he didn't know if there was anyone who had the same idea as him and emptied the place in advance.

"So mysterious!" Seeing that Qiao Rui refused to speak, Liu Xinyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Everywhere is closed at this time, right?"

"It's okay. I have the lightness skill. I can just climb in through the window." Due to the continuous use of internal energy and lightness skill, Qiao Rui felt that his "Kuangfeng Body Skill" lightness skill had improved a lot. He used it quite skillfully, and his internal energy was also flowing smoothly.

"Go steal? What if there's someone inside?"

"Then spend money to buy it!"

"What if they don't sell it to you and you keep it for yourself?"

You're just trying to argue, right? Why are you asking so many questions? Qiao Rui looked at Liu Xinyue with amusement, then showed his fist and said, "If he doesn't sell it, I'll beat him up. Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sand bowl?"

Although it was a joke, Qiao Rui was still very confident in himself. It had been nearly 24 hours since the martial arts fell from the sky at midnight last night, and Qiao Rui had only luckily found a light martial arts "Kuangfeng Body Skill", and then with this light martial arts, he was able to reach a level that ordinary people could not reach, and then found a light martial arts and a boxing method, which showed how rare various martial arts were. Moreover, he believed that the internal force he collected was much higher than others, because of the light martial arts.

The two of them bickered jokingly and soon stopped in an alley.
