The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Chapter 36 Liu Miao's First Read

"Fuck."

"They've made a fortune."

"14,000 survival points! Adding the daily points I've accumulated over the past two days, that's 18,000! If I go to the Li Huo Martial Arts Hall this afternoon to farm another 1500 survival points, then I'll only need 500 more to get 20 consecutive draws, right?"

Hearing the notification sound in his ear, Zeng Shen's face broke into an incredibly broad smile; this happiness had come too suddenly.

Immediately, he turned around, took Liu Miao's hand, who was still in a daze, and walked towards the RV on his own.

Looking at Zeng Shen holding her hand, Liu Miao felt a strong sense of security well up in her heart, and ripples spread through her mind.

Zeng Shen boarded the RV and, guided by Liu Miao, soon arrived at a restaurant that was quite far from the pier but close to the coastline.

Just got off the car.

Zeng Shen smelled a delicious aroma, the kind that comes from boiling clams.

Suddenly.

His stomach started growling loudly with hunger.

Liu Miao led Zeng Shen inside.

The restaurant was crowded with diners, and there were still a few people waiting to get a table in the queue area.

The proprietress seemed to know Liu Miao very well, and immediately greeted her warmly upon seeing her.

"Liu Miao, you're here."

Liu Miao nodded and said, "Auntie, I brought my friends here to eat, but it seems like the place is full today. Are there no seats left?"

"Yes, yes, Liu Miao brought her friends over to eat, so there must be a table." The proprietress smiled, reached into the cabinet and took out a key, saying, "Liu Miao, room 666 upstairs."

The waiting guests immediately became unhappy.

"Boss lady, didn't you just say you were out of seats? How come there's still one left?"

"That private room isn't open to the public. If you have any complaints, go somewhere else."

The proprietress turned around and, without looking back, led Zeng Shen and Liu Miao upstairs.

Following the landlady, Zeng Shen and Liu Miao arrived at private room number 666.

The private room wasn't very big, with a square dining table in the middle and many antique-style paintings on the walls, making it look very cozy.

Zeng Shen looked out the window and could see the shimmering sea. Looking further into the distance, he could also see a neatly arranged, seemingly endless stretch of sandy beach.

The proprietress briefly asked Liu Miao what set meal she wanted, then tactfully closed the door and left.

"That sandy beach is my family's clam and mussel farm."

Liu Miao introduced it softly.

"It's much bigger than I imagined," Zeng Shen said.

Soon.

The waiter brought over a large hot pot of scallions, clams, and mussels.

The hot pot was filled with clams the size of a thumb, gently releasing tiny bubbles, while scallions floated on the surface.

"Turn on the fire, boil for another ten minutes and it'll be ready to eat." Liu Miao said as she turned on the fire, "What kind of sauce do you want? I'll go make it for you."

"Add satay sauce, along with some minced garlic and chili oil."

"it is good."

Liu Miao went out to prepare the sauce, and Zeng Shen watched her retreating figure, lost in thought.

Liu Miao is a third-order water-based deity.

The first-time score for the two tags 'suppression' and 'repelling' on her.

He hasn't triggered it yet.

If it is triggered.

Today, I don't have to wait until I go to the martial arts gym to get 20 consecutive draws.

But he couldn't just beat her up like he would a thug, triggering the "suppress" and "repel" tropes.

We must not treat her like we treated Li Yuqing, pinning her to the ground, suppressing her relentlessly, and then defeating her severely every day.

Zeng Shen rubbed his head; he had a bit of a headache.

When Liu Miao brought over the seasonings, grabbed some drinks, and some side dishes, the two continued chatting.

About ten minutes.

The clam and shellfish soup gradually boiled, and Zeng Shen couldn't wait to pick one up and taste it.

Instantly, the tender and delicious flavor of the clam meat reached the taste buds.

"Ah, it's been so long since I've had such a fresh and sweet clam and shellfish hot pot," Zeng Shen exclaimed.

"It's delicious, just eat more."

"I can't believe it," Liu Miao said playfully. Half an hour later.

Sweating profusely from their meal, Zeng Shen and Liu Miao walked out of the restaurant and headed towards the RV parked on a grass mat in the distance.

Simultaneously.

He kept praising the clam.

"Liu Miao, the clams at your place are absolutely delicious."

"It's delicious. If you come over here sometime, I'll treat you to another meal," Liu Miao invited.

"Haha, sure."

"By the way, where are you planning to go next?"

“I go to the Li Huo Martial Arts School, where I learn some kung fu every afternoon,” Zeng Shen said.

"No wonder you were so good today, so you've been training there. I'll sign up for lessons sometime if I have the chance," Liu Miao said.

It's said without intention, but it sounds intentional.

Zeng Shen suddenly paused in his tracks because of Liu Miao's words, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

If Liu Miao also goes to the martial arts school, wouldn't it be possible to arrange a sparring session, and then complete the first run and obtain two thousand survival points?
Thinking of this, Zeng Shen immediately smiled and said, "Sister Liu, if you want to learn, you don't need to go to the martial arts school. I can come over every day and teach you a move or two, how about that?"

Liu Miao was surprised that Zeng Shen was willing to teach her martial arts every day after she casually mentioned it. She immediately nodded happily and said, "Okay, okay, but will it take up some of your time?"

"will not."

"That's good."

"Then let's start now."

"Oh, so fast?" Liu Miao was taken aback.

"Yes, now I'll teach you an easy-to-learn and very practical over-the-shoulder throw."

Zeng Shen said in a very serious tone.

Liu Miao looked at the surrounding grassy area, hesitated for a moment, and said, "How about we go somewhere else?"

"No need, it will be over soon."

As Zeng Shen spoke, he reached out and grabbed her arm, suddenly swept it over her shoulder, and then, amidst Liu Miao's gasp, gently pressed her to the ground.

[The host, possessing both wisdom and courage, suppressed a third-tier water-type deity, gaining 1000 survival points.]

"Haha, I got my first viewing."

Zeng Shen laughed inwardly, then felt a soft touch coming from his arm.

He looked down and realized that his arm had accidentally pressed down on the wrong place, sinking deep into the muddy honey fruit. The other person's cheeks were slightly flushed, their breathing was a little rapid, and their red lips were slightly parted in an alluring way.

He looked completely at someone's mercy.

It makes people feel restless.

Zeng Shenwei took a deep breath, suppressing his agitation, and gently pulled Liu Miao up, saying:
"This is called an over-the-shoulder press. It allows you to easily pin an enemy who is more than ten times stronger than you to the ground. You can also throw them over your shoulder and turn it into an over-the-shoulder press. I was afraid you would get thrown, so I turned it into an over-the-shoulder press."

"Oh." Liu Miao blushed slightly.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

"Okay." Liu Miao nodded and reached out to grab Zeng Shen's arm. The full, muscular arm gave her a sense of security and belonging. Then she wanted to pull the arm over her shoulder.

But it didn't work.

A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she heard Zeng Shen instructing her:

"When you grab my arm, don't pause for a long time. Give me a chance to react. Do it all at once, and then use some force along your arm. Otherwise, it's hard to use minimal force to overcome great strength."

"Oh, I'll try again," Liu Miao said awkwardly.

five minutes later.

Zeng Shen looked at Liu Miao, who hadn't succeeded even once, and said, "It's getting late. I'll teach you one more time before I have to rush to the martial arts school. You can take a taxi back then."

"know."

Immediately, Zeng Shen grabbed Liu Miao's arm, gave her another over-the-shoulder press, and then quickly stood up, saying, "Go back and think about it carefully."

"Mm." Liu Miao nodded.

“Go take a taxi, I’ll come find you again tomorrow,” Zeng Shen said.

"it is good."

Liu Miao turned and walked towards the main road to hail a taxi, while Zeng Shen, who was still standing there, heard a notification sound slowly ringing in his ear.
