Chapter 218: Lip Reading Great, Lip Reading Must Be Learned_2
As a result, only Zhou Youwei with a bewildered expression was left in the community park.
Covering his humiliated face, Zhou Youwei first collected several cameras he had set up to record crime evidence and finally picked up the phone he had left on the pavilion.
Damn it, the whole thing was recorded as my crime evidence.
Zhang Fang, who was on a video call, shook her head earnestly upon seeing Zhou Youwei: "Old Zhou, it's not right to fake injuries. Look at how you scared Xiaolin. After all your effort, is this what you wanted me to see?"
Zhou Youwei: "..."
Could it be... Could this also be part of Lin Li's plan?
Zhou Youwei felt out of breath.
...
"No wonder the reward is just one ability. Although the number of people required is a bit high, it's still relatively easy to complete," Lin Li thought to himself after returning home.
The rule that you lose if you fall was decided by the two of them, yet the system recognized such a victory in the challenge.
That makes it simple; I just need to find nine more body cultivators who meet the conditions.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Li began to search for nearby gyms on the map.
If those muscular guys aren't body cultivators, then Lin Li doesn't know what qualifies as one.
Actually, Xiaozhou could count, and probably the instructors or even students of taekwondo or sanda fighting classes would also count, but in this day and age, challenging gyms doesn't seem popular. You can't just show up at their door saying, "Hi, I'm here to fight. Oh, I won't fight those who haven't achieved anything or those who've achieved too much. I'm looking for someone with moderate achievements."
If confronted by a few guys practicing Chen Hegao's unrestricted fighting style, who might aim for the groin right away, that would be disastrous.
It's still the gym guys who are easier to find and deal with.
If I encounter someone with a sharp head, it's possible to win them over without a fight.
Besides, Lin Li believes this is the mission's purpose since he hasn't even learned the official fighting cultivation technique yet.
Riding his bike to the nearest gym, Lin Li saw a huge banner nearby that read:
"Reading is to calmly talk to idiots; fitness is to make idiots calmly talk to you."
Very reasonable, Lin Li quite agreed.
"Hello." Upon entering, the front desk girl greeted Lin Li, "Is it your first time here? Is there anything I can help you with?"
The front desk was familiar with regular clients, and since Lin Li was looking around curiously, it was obvious it was his first time, so she asked.
"I want to apply for a card."
"Okay, may I ask which type of card you plan on applying for? Here, I recommend the annual card and lifelong card, which have the best value for money, plus you get personal training sessions as a bonus..." Seeing a potential performance boost, the front desk girl's smile grew even brighter.
"A single-use card."
Front desk: "?"
"By the way, can I use the 9.9 yuan experience coupon from Meituan?"
The opportunity for better sales slipped away.
Experience, just experience. Applying for a single-use card, what's that about!
The front desk nodded slightly helplessly: "Just show me the QR code after the purchase is completed. The experience coupon is limited to a one-time entry; please be cautious when leaving."
"Thank you." Lin Li secured the wristband as proof and then pushed open the gym door.
A DJ version of an English song Lin Li had never heard was playing, and it was quite catchy.
There wasn't the expected sweaty smell; instead, there was a close-to-six-godly fragrance. Several muscular guys were working out, and after glancing at Lin Li, they returned to their routines.
In comparison with them, Lin Li, who had bulked up a bit, was slender like a bamboo pole again.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the gym, several women wearing yoga pants and sports bras were posing provocatively amid their sweaty exertions.
Oda Nobunaga had already proven that instincts can't be resisted.
Instinct urged Lin Li to take a glance, and then Lin Li widened his eyes and looked a second time.
Wait a minute.
Damn.
As everyone knows, yoga pants are exceptionally form-fitting.
But just now, when that woman squatted to take a photo, Lin Li somehow read her lips.
This is obscene, isn't it?
Lin Li looked around at the bulky men again, and surprisingly, no one noticed this. Their eyes showed no lust, only a craving for muscles.
If Bai Bufan were here, he would definitely speak loudly to get her attention or act out as if playing basketball, then do a fadeaway shot, perhaps even knock himself down just to make this lip-reading lady notice him.
Although he always blabbers about small breasts small breasts, who the hell cares? In any case, Bai Bufan is very honest.
The woman also noticed Lin Li, but after one look, she stopped paying attention.
Though quite handsome and pleasant to look at, he wasn't her type.
Judging someone based on appearance is indeed too vulgar and one-sided; she prefers using a bank balance for evaluation, finding a beauty in numbers.
The most expensive thing on Lin Li seemed to be the phone in his hand, so he didn't make the cut.
She took out a bottle of mineral water, pouring it over her head as if it were sweat, and continued taking pictures for her fishing activities.
And Lin Li didn't forget his mission. He first went to the equipment area and tried out the barbells and dumbbells but then frowned slightly.
Compared to a month ago, his strength now was vastly different, but when compared to others, merely talking about the force exerted, it was far from reaching inhuman levels. Whether it's Qi Blood or comprehensive recovery ability, it mainly improved his endurance.
Even though there's a [Power Charge] to assist, without formal training and unfamiliar with exertion techniques, Lin Li wasn't confident about surpassing these muscle-bound guys in using the equipment.
Most fitness moves can't rely on just right-hand strength; they need full-body coordination, which could be compromised by the overly strong right hand affecting the overall movement.
