Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 13 Essence, Wholeness, Sanjiangshui

Supporting hammer, subduing dragon, crouching tiger, splitting mountain palm, exploring horse palm, tiger hug, bear squat, and crane push.

These moves that Yixiantian has not taught yet seem to have been practiced for a long time.

Just when Li An was still immersed in the moves in his mind.

Once again the panel changed.

"A single skill has been mastered, and the skill essence has been unlocked!"

Note:
"You can obtain the essence of the combat skills used by characters through actual combat, defeat, and kill."

"The essence of non-combat skills can be obtained through consulting and learning, and there is a chance to obtain the essence of the character's skills."

"The skill essence obtained can only be redeemed through skill points."

"The higher the proficiency level of the acquired skill essence, the more skill points are required."

Li An couldn't help slowing down his pace, his eyes were fixed on the newly revealed information on the panel, and he fell into deep thought.

To be honest, with the improvement of Bajiquan skill proficiency, he was also a little worried that his boxing skills improved too quickly, which would arouse the doubts of Yitiantian and others.

It's getting a little abnormal!
Learning boxing for half a month is worth one or two years for others.It can also be explained by his extraordinary talent and peculiar bones.

But if Li An could improve his Bajiquan proficiency even further.

Even if it is described as a genius, it is not enough to make people believe it.

As for concealment, hiding clumsiness and so on, this kind of thought was given up after only passing through my mind.

Because with Yi Yitian's mastery of Bajiquan, if you test his progress in learning boxing on weekdays, or give him a hand, you can roughly figure out where Li An's Bajiquan has reached.

"Do you want to learn another boxing technique? Or go to other martial arts gyms to learn from each other to obtain the essence of skills?"

As Li An walked, he was making calculations in his mind.

If you just come to the door rashly to discuss, you will definitely be regarded as kicking the gym.

You must know that those who can open a museum and accept apprentices these days are naturally not comparable to those who have flamboyant fists and embroidered legs in their previous life. They have already been kicked and closed the museum without two brushes.

With his current skills, the obvious risks outweigh the benefits.

After thinking for a while, Li An put his plans on hold for the time being.

At least, you have to digest the gains from this skill upgrade.

The most urgent task is to find ways to make money.

Whether it is the skill points required for subsequent skill upgrades and skill essences, or the layout of the retail market, money is needed.

Even if Guilihuang got the 9000 yuan later, it was still a drop in the bucket for him.

At this time, Li An no longer thought about the essence of skills.

Walk through Nanjing Street and turn into an alley.

Seeing no one around.

Li An reached forward with his right foot, twisted his waist and raised his crotch, and tried to hit a supporting hammer directly in front of him.

The dull sound of fist strikes was clearly heard in the air.

It feels right.

The strength that originally required constant practice became as easy as punching as soon as the skill proficiency improved.

trot all the way.

When we returned to the Shek Kip Mei hut area, except for a few scattered stalls in the night market at the head of the village, which were still packing up, the rest of the stalls had already closed.

Li An didn't waste any time and quickly ran to the public water pipe area at the end of the village.

As expected, the water supply had already been cut off during this early morning period.

"The water supply is only four hours a day. If you come back late, it will be difficult to take a shower, let alone wash clothes."

Li An muttered helplessly.

There is no one cleaning the dry toilets in the wooden house area. Although the smell is strong and dirty, you can accept it even if you pinch your nose. .

But this dilemma of being without water as long as he comes back late is indeed a bit unbearable for someone like him who has been practicing boxing for a day and has sweat stains on his body.

Li An touched the remaining 400 Hong Kong dollars in his trouser pocket and made up his mind to move out as soon as possible and find an arcade or tenement house to rent.

Although the area is small, at least there is a separate bathroom.

The water is not as embarrassing as the wooden house area.

After returning home, Li An looked at the little water left in the water tank and kept some for washing in the morning.

After washing my body with the rest of the water, I fell asleep with my head covered.

The next day.

It was not yet daylight.

barbershop.

"Master!"

Li An first handed the breakfast to Yixiantian, then turned to look at Zhou Sheng and handed him a butter bag in an oil paper bag.

"Brother Sheng, so early?"

"I didn't come home last night."

Zhou Sheng took the meal bag and took a bite, urging vaguely:
"Let's go! Let's go to the Triangle Pier. Senior Brother is still waiting."

"Ah."

Ang Lee nodded.

The triangle wharf that Zhou Sheng mentioned is located on the seaside from Sheung Wan to West Wan, and there are more than ten cargo wharves in total.

It is also the entry and exit port for important goods.

Many people who come to Hong Kong from the mainland to seek a living gather here, mostly Chaoshan people, who live and work around the Triangle Pier.

Port porters, food cooks, and rickshaw pullers—the hardest and most tiring jobs—have become the jobs they rely on to make a living.

In 60 years, there were no subsea tunnels and subways. If you want to go to the Triangle Pier on Hong Kong Island, you can only take the Yau Ma Tei Ferry to cross the sea.

When Li An and the two arrived at the cargo terminal where the elder brother was located, they saw a busy scene.

The sun is pouring down, and on the sparkling sea, freighters of different sizes are queuing up to enter the port.

On the pier in the distance, the coolies were shirtless and carried goods in sacks on their shoulders, going back and forth between the freighter and the carts transporting the goods.

On the side of the road near the pier are vendors lined up.

Pier entrance.

A man wearing a short shirt, blue shirt and trousers, and canvas shoes quickly came over to meet Zhou Sheng when he saw him.

"Asheng!"

"Brother!"

Zhou Sheng shouted.

Then he patted Li An on the shoulder.

"This is Ang Lee."

"Brother!"

Li An spoke up at the right time.His tone was neither humble nor silent.

From the moment the three of them met, the man set his sights on Li An. Seeing Li An speak, he said with a smile:

"Are you Li An? I've heard Asheng talk about you a long time ago. We're all family members. If you come to my place, I won't treat you badly."

"Thank you, brother."

Li An nodded.He secretly looked at the man in front of him.

Bronze complexion, oily side hair, as if licked by a calf, small mouse eyebrows, small eyes, small nose, and thin lips.

At first glance, it seems that it highly overlaps with someone in memory.

After the three exchanged a few pleasantries, Zhou Sheng raised his wrist to check the time.

"Senior brother, I can leave this to you. It's not early now, so I'll leave first. I have to report to the mission at this point."

After speaking, he hurriedly left.

"It's just an errand, do you need to hurry?"

The man pouted, then asked curiously:

"I heard Asheng say that within half a month of learning boxing, your skills have caught up with his? Are you really that powerful?"

"That's Brother Sheng's flattery. I just learn boxing faster than others."

Ang Lee is as humble as ever.

The man smiled, and seemed to feel that what Zhou Sheng said was a bit exaggerated.

"My name is Sanjiang Shui. You can call me Brother Shui or Senior Brother. Let's discuss it again when we have time to see if Asheng is exaggerating...: Come with me now. It's your first time coming to the dock. I'll take you to get familiar with it first." Condition."
