Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

How did I end up like this...?

Zhang Chaoqiang couldn't help but laugh. This was Zhu Bobi's special treatment, because his name reminded him of a character from an animated film.

The next second when he thought of himself, he couldn't laugh out loud.

Clap clap! Two clear and distinct claps silenced the noisy classroom.

Jin Jia informed the entire class that he had gone through the relevant procedures with the Extraordinary Administration Bureau and had obtained approval for the opening of the secret realm. The process was progressing smoothly and had reached the final stage.

The day after tomorrow afternoon, the whole class will be divided into groups of six to explore the secret realm.

Since it's the first time entering the secret realm, there won't be any missions; it's just an experience.

"Teacher, what is the level of the secret realm?" someone asked.

"Yes, I forgot to mention that the secret realm is the most ordinary zero-level secret realm, and the ecological environment and the level of the monsters inside are all in an ordinary state."

Therefore, you will be able to engage in practical combat effectively. Furthermore, Tan Yue, although your spiritual power is low, your mental level is high. You will be assigned some easily controllable spiritual weapons, giving you comparable strength even inside!

The students were excited; entering the secret realm meant that they would be fighting against real monsters for the first time in their lives.

Times change, ideas change. In times of war, people yearn for peace; in times of peace, they look forward to the most realistic battles.

……

Meanwhile, in Zhang Chaoqiang's parents' tattoo shop.

"Old Chen, what brings you here today? Perhaps..."

While Zhang Huolong was entertaining Lao Chen, he and Shen Qiangwei stared intently at Lao Chen's neck, their words seemingly hinting at something.

Old Chen quickly straightened his clothes: "No need, these trendy things aren't really suitable for me..."

Since Old Chen rarely had so much free time during the day, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were determined not to let him just sit idly in the tattoo shop.

He immediately decided to close the shop, which had no customers for the time being. He had several sets of fishing equipment on hand, fishing rods that Zhang Huolong had bought from a live stream and had been gathering dust for several months.

Perfect timing, it actually came in handy today.

So Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei dragged Lao Chen away to a nearby reservoir to fish. Fishing was not prohibited in the reservoir, and there were plenty of fish there, and they were quite clever, so it became a battleground for many anglers.

The anglers stood in an orderly line, and it had been a full half hour since Zhang Huolong and his group arrived, sat down, and started organizing their equipment. Among all these anglers, not a single one had made a sound.

Smoke swirls around, one cigarette after another; with nothing else to do, smoking is all I can do.

The smell of smoke was too strong, so Zhang Huolong led Shen Qiangwei and Lao Chen to a secluded place with shallow water and few people, hoping for some peace and quiet.

At the same time, Bai Lu and Huang Feng followed closely behind, and there were five or six people with them who were the sixth-level martial artists team that had arrived in Tianan City today.

"Bai Lu, are you sure the Jie Gou incident is related to these people?" One of the team members was puzzled. Wasn't this quite normal?

Bai Lu instructed, "Go investigate near Yuhua Martial Arts School. We'll keep watch here."

With no progress made in the search, they could only stay here and observe Zhang Huolong.

At this moment, the other party placed the equipment and chair on the uneven shore, and began to casually cast the fishing rod. He then leaned against Shen Qiangwei and hugged her while scrolling through his phone. He didn't even put bait on the fishing rod hook.

"The water's shallow, the spot's already bad, and you're still not baiting the area, what are you doing..." Old Chen carefully arranged his gear, keeping a distance of seven or eight meters from Zhang Huolong, meticulously baiting, baiting the area, and casting his line in one smooth motion, muttering to himself, "Back when I was doing my master chef certification exam, that fish I caught was one I personally caught..."

Interestingly, Bai Lu and Huang Feng, who were bored, also became interested. They tied the thin rope from their clothes to the wooden sticks they had picked up, and threw them into the water when they had no bait.

The fishermen, who had been quiet all morning, were stirred by the rippling water and grabbed their fishing rods. Some of them, not any of them, turned and headed towards another secluded spot upon hearing the sound.

Zhang Huolong was frantically grabbing the fishing rod, and the couple worked together to pull the fish ashore. The shadow of the fish underwater looked to be at least twenty centimeters long.

"Holy crap, it's biting even without bait! Have the fish gotten stupid?"

Chapter 86 Report

The results were better than I expected when I started the book.

Secondly, the update time will be changed to evenings from now on.

Chapter 87 Soaring

When Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei finally managed to pull the grass carp, which weighed more than five pounds, ashore, the people around them were in an uproar.

Even Old Chen felt somewhat ashamed.

The second person to catch a fish was him. Old Chen, who used to love fishing, finally managed to regain some face in front of Zhang Huolong and the other man.

In addition, some anglers took the bait, but some failed to seize the opportunity and the fish escaped.

Some hooks went straight into the belly of the crucian carp, and by the time they were pulled out, they were already mangled beyond recognition.

The wooden stick and cotton rope that Huang Feng threw down were imbued with spiritual power, making them no less fragile than an ordinary fishing rod.

They caught fish too.

"Big fish!"

At this moment, nothing could be more exhilarating for the two than a successful catch. Judging from the movement and the feedback from the fishing rod, the two, who hadn't used any force, felt that the fish seemed to be quite large.

Pulling and yanking with all that force requires the strength of an ordinary person; if this big fish were to be pulled up in one go, it would be far too easy to challenge.

Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves. When the big grass carp was pulled ashore, it broke free of the cotton rope. The fish, which looked to be about 50 or 60 centimeters long and weighed more than 20 kilograms, was about to escape.

The short, stout Bai Lu reacted quickly, tumbling headfirst into the reservoir. He fought with the fish for a while, but was eventually swiftly outmaneuvered.

"...I should have known better than to hold back..."

The nearby fishermen sighed when they saw that. If it happened to them, they would jump out of their sleep just thinking about it decades later.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity." Zhang Huolong noticed Bai Lu and the other person at the same time.

A fish weighing twenty or thirty pounds, just like that, I missed it. Whenever I think about it, I want to slap myself.

Bai Lu, covered in mud, and Huang Feng, squatting motionless, stared at each other for a long time.

Their decades-long camaraderie seemed to shatter at this moment.

Even if Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were present, they would probably break off their friendship on the spot…

In the middle of the afternoon, Zhang Huolong, who had hardly ever participated in this kind of activity, was catching fish frequently, while the anglers who had been waiting from the beginning didn't seem to be doing much better.

Some missed their chance and still didn't take the bait, while others cried out in surprise as soon as the hook was pulled, only to find that what came up was Bai Lu's black boots...

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, working together, were the best performers of the day, catching 8 fish totaling approximately 56 jin (about 28 catties). The larger ones were mostly black carp, while the smaller ones were crucian carp. Old Chen, though alone, also managed to catch around 40 jin (about 20 catties).

Bai Lu and Huang Feng were left looking quite dejected.

Before 3 p.m., Zhang Huolong and his two companions were preparing to pack up and leave. One of them sighed, "Fishing is fucking no easy task. We're exhausted. We've been working for two hours and only caught less than 100 pounds of fish..."

He involuntarily swore the whole way, after all, the child wasn't there.

At the same time, the anglers around Zhang Huolong cast murderous glances at him. Their fish baskets contained only a few small crucian carp, but these were the spoils of their half-day's work.

But the next moment, when Zhang Huolong enthusiastically took out their spoils to share with everyone, they immediately changed their tune and shouted, "Thank you, big brother!"

In the afternoon, Zhang Huolong and his wife took Old Chen for a stroll around again.

To be honest, Lao Chen is usually very busy, and only a few years ago during the Spring Festival was he able to see the other person for several days in a row during the daytime.

As a refined older man, it was indeed quite a difficult thing to dress up in and accompany Zhang Huolong and the others for a walk.

After wandering around aimlessly, Zhang Huolong realized that he and Shen Qiangwei hadn't had a proper time alone together in a long time, even though they had just celebrated their kissing anniversary a few days ago.

Gradually, the surrounding streets and shopping malls all became their places to stroll. They ignored Old Chen and everyone else, as if the whole world had turned into black and white, and only the two of them were in color.

Wherever they went, chaos ensued, and the people around them became unreliable. The vendors on the commercial street were clumsy, causing crowds of customers to throng together.

The surrounding streets were congested due to chaotic traffic and reckless driving.

Just like in the midst of an explosion, the two calmly and nonchalantly left without looking back...

Huang Feng and his companion were getting tired of it. Staying by Zhang Huolong's side wasn't making any progress, and Jie Gou showed no signs of taking any action, making the investigation very difficult.

The lack of any activity means that we cannot minimize the scope of suspicion and resolve the issue through isolation, which is the most frustrating aspect.

The whole day had passed. They'd only watched the couple and the old man go on a date. They were quite annoyed, and through communication, they learned that there hadn't been any activity from the martial arts school either.

After all, they also had missions in other areas. That very evening, the two prepared to apply to their superiors to keep a case file and have a backup investigator stay behind. Since there were no signs of danger in Tian'an City, it meant that the monster might still be lying in wait. If this kind of mechanism was intentionally lurking, it wouldn't be easy to investigate in the short term.

But once it appears, its numerical value alone is enough to obliterate it with a single punch.

Zhang Chaoqiang, still at school, is diligently working on his recording goals.

He sensed that the strange beast might not be easy to deal with, and at the same time, the record-keeping was nearing completion. He was eager to improve so that he wouldn't be powerless when an anomaly occurred.

Although the investigators were powerless to do anything...

That night, when the two were picked up from school by Lao Chen and returned home, Zhang Chaoqiang realized that his repeated instructions to Lao Chen to keep an eye on Zhang Huolong and the other boy and not let them wander around had no effect at all.

After asking his parents where they had gone that day and getting their answers, Zhang Chaoqiang didn't even think about getting a meal yet, and prepared to head over.

Holding his drawing paper, he was completely stunned when he learned from Old Chen all the places Zhang Huolong had visited that day…

Good heavens, there are so many streets, big and small, he couldn't even imagine how many people would be affected.

Checking the places Zhang Huolong passed through and whether the people he encountered exhibited any reckless or unreliable behavior would further confirm the conjecture and increase the experience points and [record] for the Angry Eyes.

Currently, [Angry Gaze] is at level 79. In addition, [Angry Gaze] can force the beast to reveal itself from its hiding place. Although the effect is weak, it should be more significant in the next stage.

[Record] We've also reached the real final stage, 197/200.

Unable to locate Bai Lu and Huang Feng, he figured those two were probably affected to some extent as well…

Zhang Chaoqiang instructed Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei not to go out, and although they were puzzled, they did as he said.

Then, before dusk had completely covered the sky, they first arrived at the reservoir. The anglers seemed to have a good catch, but in reality, most of it was the work of Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei. A few reckless anglers had broken their equipment today due to their carelessness.

Under the direction of the traffic police, Qingzhou Street was successfully blocked by a major traffic jam, and some drivers who were distracted almost hit themselves.

There were other minor incidents, but the changes caused Zhang Chaoqiang to glare angrily and his experience points to skyrocket.

Chapter 88 Sensitive

From the reservoir to the streets, he observed numerous changes.

In such a short period of time, Zhang Huolong actually gained nearly 20 points of "Angry Gaze" experience...

Sometimes he felt that being alone was actually quite helpless…
