Early in the morning.

After Raymond got up and washed, he just put on the smart glasses that he received from the logistics room of the martial arts hall yesterday, and he saw a red light flashing in the corners of his eyes, and a text message appeared in his vision:

At eight o'clock, see you at the Luoya Repair Factory on Haikou Street.

"Haikou Street, it seems a little far away......"

Raymond raised his eyebrows, checked the armed belt around his waist again, put on a silver-gray trench coat, and looked in the mirror in good spirits.

The smart glasses with black frames and light blue lenses are cool, which is just right to add three points of handsomeness to his ordinary appearance.

The special camouflage trench coat with a high collar and drooping ankles not only hides the sense of threat given by the muscular and strong body, but also covers the nano bulletproof stab-proof suit inside.

Fortunately, it's winter, and at first glance, this outfit looks no different from the thick winter clothes of ordinary people, and it will not attract attention.

There are not many equipment, but they are all excellent, and for low-level secret warriors, this is already a top-level high-level match, and its price is worth the remuneration of Raymond for three or five field missions.

If he is jealous of the talent, I'm afraid he will hang up before he earns back the money for this set of equipment!

The table was filled with the smell of cream.

Lei Dad, Lei Ma and Sister Yan are enjoying breakfast pastries, and many people have the habit of sleeping lazily on their days off, but the biological clock of the scientific researchers does not allow the three of them to do so.

"I'm in a hurry to go first!"

Raymond grabbed the brioche bread that Sister Yan had bitten into her hand, and was about to hurry out of the house under her disgusted gaze.

Lei's mother hurriedly stopped him: "The college entrance examination is going to be in half a month, what if you don't review your homework at home, what if you can't get into the state university by then?"

"Anla, Anla......" Raymond didn't care: "If I can't pass the exam, you can let me go through the back door!"

Lei Dad choked on a mouthful of bread in his throat: "......"

Lei's mother said angrily: "This kid, you can say it, where do you put your father's old face?"

Raymond didn't reply: "You have the right not to use it, it will be invalid when it expires!" Don't care about those gossips, if you can't stand it, let them tell me face to face, isn't it just spitting on their own faces, ...... trivial meaning"

Before he could finish speaking, the footsteps outside the door quickly faded away.

The three people at the table looked at each other, and Sister Yan picked up a piece of bread again, smeared it with cream, and muttered: "Since practicing martial arts, the little hairy bear's skin is the same as his chest muscles, and it is getting thicker and thicker......"

"Who says it's not?" Lei Ma sighed, having said that, she still said helplessly: "Look at it like this, it's good that he can pass the college entrance examination! It just so happens that Vice Principal Liu stuffed her daughter into our name and gilded it, and owes a favor, I'll book a guaranteed place with her later, just in case ...... "

Dad Lei drank the milk in the cup in one gulp, and wiped his mouth calmly, "I'd better go!"

......

Haikou Street.

Out of the subway station, Raymond traveled all the way according to the navigation map projected by the smart glasses at the corner of the field of vision, and came to the door of the Luoya Repair Factory in a short time.

The dilapidated signboards and mottled walls all precipitate traces of time.

It can be seen that this is a car repair shop with a story.

At eight o'clock, a big round fat man with a black jade pipe in his mouth swayed slowly from the other end of the street, "From the Red Flame Martial Arts Hall?"

"Yes, who are you?" Raymond looked up and down at the uniquely shaped client, the lens of his left eye flashing red, and the energy radiation scanning mode was automatically turned on.

A red horizontal line that only he could see swept from top to bottom, and the big fat man in his vision suddenly turned into a blurred light with a slight yellow spot in the green.

Energy radiation is almost all green?

Is this fat man just an ordinary person?

The thought flashed, and the vision returned to its original state.

The big fat man, dressed in a black trench coat, with short energetic hair and a mustache, took a puff of his pipe from time to time, and puffed a faint white smoke from his nose, giving people a shrewd and capable and mysterious and deep temperament that was diametrically opposed to his bloated body.

"I'm Bridge, a private investigator listed at the City Police Department, and your mission today is to assist me in investigating a ...... Uh, economic case!"

"Listed detective?" Raymond looked moved.

On the surface, the law enforcement atmosphere in the southern continent is relatively enlightened, allowing licensed detectives outside the police station to participate in the investigation and solving crimes, and some well-known senior detectives can even be listed in the police station and leave contact information, and their actions are endorsed by the police department, and their status is not inferior to that of middle and senior police officers, but they are relatively independent and free.

"Surname Bai?" Raymond suddenly remembered something that his iron buddy Bai Chong had mentioned, and couldn't help asking, "You can't be Bai Chong's uncle who got tired of being a policeman and turned to be a wandering detective, right?"

Bai Liqi's expression changed for the first time, "Judging by your age, it should be Bai Chong's classmate, right?" It turned out to be his own person, I am his cousin, what he said when he mentioned me, there must be nothing good to say......

Raymond twitched: "He said that you are an old man who spends all day drinking, and he always wants to lead him astray......"

Bai Rich's forehead was bruised: "That stinky boy, obviously he pestered me with his own dead face, asked me to take him out to have fun, and after giving me severe criticism, he actually reversed black and white?"

Raymond smiled and said nothing, neither of the uncles and nephews could believe what they said, they were all good at acting and prevarication, the biggest possibility was that the uncle and nephew went out together to have fun, and each made up a set of rhetoric afterwards to prevent it from being used to shirk responsibility when the East Window incident occurred.

Moreover, looking at the appearance and character carved out of a mold, some people believe that Bai Liqi is Bai Chong's biological father!

However, at this time, the two had a tacit understanding, and they narrowed the distance in a few words.

Becky glanced outside, "Didn't you come by car......?

Raymond smiled humbly: "You made an appointment to meet at the garage, which clearly implied to me, you have already prepared the car, if I drive again, wouldn't it be redundant?"

At this time, an old black car slowly drove out of the garage, and a burly middle-aged man in blue overalls came down, with two shiny front teeth protruding from the lips and the three words "buck teeth" on the signboard above his head, indicating the identity of the owner of the garage.

Bucktooth glanced at Raymond and smiled kindly: "Young man, be smart, don't be like Lao Bai's previous assistant, he almost went to the scrap heap with the car!"

After speaking, he turned to Bai Liqi, and his tone was not so polite, "This is the last time! Next time, don't ask me to send a tow truck to pick up the junk, just order a new car!"

Bridrich turned a deaf ear and knocked on the window with his pipe, "Hey, the thickness of the bulletproof glass has been upgraded again!"

Raymond got into the car and sat in the driver's seat with interest, wiped the feeling, but did not expect that the appearance of this car was outdated, and there were all kinds of smart devices inside.

It can be seen from this that Bai Liqi is mostly a nostalgic but up-to-date person.

"Bucktooth, the repair fee will be recorded in the account first, and when I finish this order, I will settle it for you together with the last time and the last time......"

If you don't go back this time, do you want me to chase me to Huangquan Road to collect debts?"

After a while of scolding, Bai Ritchie got into the car and sat in the back, urging: "Hurry up! Go to Changle Street ......."

Raymond started the car as he said, followed the navigation instructions, and turned into the route to Changle Street.

His driving skills are quite average, but he inherited the advantages of Lei Dad, driving smoothly and steadily, just like this kind of electric car, almost silent and shockless, comfortable and pleasant.

Bai Liqi smoked his pipe again and again, frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "You are a D-level martial artist, which specific rank is it?"

"Which rank?" Raymond asked rhetorically, "It's just D-level, and it's still a rank?"

"Young people's ambition is not small!" Bai Liqi laughed, "Although the division of ranks at the D-level is not very necessary, it is also an important reference data for actual combat effectiveness, and even the military of various states has begun to gradually popularize this division. ”

Raymond thought for a moment and muttered, "I'm still halfway from the D-class consummation, so I'm barely in the middle of the D-class!"

Brurich nodded, a look of understanding.

The D-level stage focuses on the internal qi veins in order to form an internal breath cycle, and due to the different individual exercises, the order of cultivating the qi veins is different, and it is difficult to uniformly divide the ranks, at most according to the individual's cultivation progress in the D-level stage of their own exercises.

There is no other way.

Just like the Chiyang Nine Styles that Lei Meng cultivated, they can be roughly divided into nine small ranks, and he is currently cultivating to the fifth form, which can also be broadly referred to as the middle stage of the D rank.

However, after thinking about it, Raymond felt that this method of dividing ranks was actually very unreliable!

Take the Chiyang Nine Styles as an example, the first four styles run through the qi veins from the dantian to the limbs, and after practice, the internal breath can be transported to the ends of the limbs, blessing the strength of the fists and feet and defense.

After practice, in addition to the luck that can resolve the enemy's qi power to attack your body and take directly from the internal organs, it is more important to use the qi of different viscera to harmonize and catalyze the evolution of your own true qi attributes, and at the same time, with the help of your unique true qi attributes and luck veins, you can apply some unique martial arts.

For example, the Chiyang True Qi must be integrated into the heart Chihuo Qi to completely complete the transformation, and on this basis, the powerful Chiyang Hand or Shadowless Step can be exerted by the hand Sun Meridian or the Zushao Yin Meridian luck.

Relatively speaking, the last five styles of the Chiyang Nine Styles are stronger than the first four styles in terms of importance, complexity, and engineering quantity, and it is indeed too hasty to directly divide the first style into a small section.

What's more, the Qi veins cultivated by the Chiyang Nine Styles are actually only a small part of the huge meridian system of the human body's limbs and viscera, and they are the main branches of the Chiyang True Qi running route, while the cultivation of other meridians and acupoints is appropriately postponed to the long stage of C and B levels.

It is said that the vast majority of secret martial artists have not been able to cultivate all the Qi Sutras and the various points around their bodies in their lifetime.

......

As if sensing that Raymond was not the talkative type, Bai Liqi spit out a smoke ring and took the initiative to provoke the conversation: "Don't think that the D-level breath circulation is not as majestic as the C-level qi release, I think I practiced in the state border guard camp for two years, and I couldn't even touch the edge of the qi......"

"You know, the level of aura circulation is nothing now, a few decades ago, which ancient martial artist did not hesitate at this level for more than ten years, and finally there are only a few who can successfully break through to the release of qi strength!"

"That's ...... too" Lei Meng nodded, "The ancient martial artist refining and refining qi is purely based on the essence of the human body itself to refine and transform it into true qi internal breath, but in addition to normal consumption, how much essence can the human body have to supply for refining qi every day?

"The well-known elixirs that directly increase power, such as the Great Returning Pill, the Small Returning Pill, and the Yiqi Dispersion, are limited to the preciousness and scarcity of raw materials, making it difficult to mass-produce ......."

"It's like now, all kinds of biochemical drugs, molecular synthetic drugs, and high-energy drugs made of nano drugs are available, whether oral or injected, as long as the body of the secret martial artist can digest and absorb it, how much food is needed to refine and refine the qi, and over time, what big and small pills are not worth mentioning!"

"The real test is the physical and mental endurance of the secret warrior......

Raymond has a deep understanding of this, his current cultivation progress, drinking two vials of orange and yellow medicine a day is the limit, not to mention whether the body can absorb it, even if it is absorbed, there will be nosebleeds, limb edema, qi and blood dryness and other adverse symptoms, and then if you want to forcibly refine and refine qi, there is a risk that your true qi will riot and go mad.
