Most of the money I've earned over the years has been spent on this. Don't think that just because we have plenty of food and meat now, practicing martial arts won't cost much.
The saying "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts" holds true in any era.
Especially with traditional martial arts, casual practice is fine as long as you get enough nutrition. But if you treat it as a profession, as a lifelong pursuit, then eating becomes more than just eating.
More often, people rely on dietary supplements and medicinal supplements to replenish their energy and improve their skills. These things really cost money, and not a small amount.
Li Mu has earned a lot of money over the years, but most of it has been spent on this.
……
Back in his rented room, Li Mu closed the door, checked the windows, drew the curtains, and thoroughly inspected the room to make sure no one would discover him.
Then he went to the living room and sat down.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up his chopsticks, but then, on a whim, they disappeared.
He could vaguely sense that the pair of chopsticks were floating quietly in an unknown space, which excited Li Mu immensely.
The next moment, he had a thought, and the chopsticks reappeared in his hand. This amazing ability completely shocked Li Mu.
Next, he seemed to enjoy it immensely, putting away and taking out all sorts of things, cups, plates, fruit, cell phones, etc., one by one, without ever getting tired of it.
However, after playing for only a few minutes, I started to feel dizzy and a bit tired.
He then realized that this ability wasn't without its costs. On the contrary, it was quite taxing; even with his robust physique, he felt dizzy after just a few minutes. If he were less physically fit, things would be different.
Fortunately, they had their fill of fun.
I explored the interior space; it wasn't too big or too small, but it could hold quite a lot of things.
One cubic meter is equal to one thousand cubic decimeters or one million cubic centimeters.
The system rewards 0.1 cubic meters of space, which is equivalent to 100 cubic decimeters.
However, this space is not fixed. Like a bubble, its volume remains constant, but its shape changes depending on the object placed inside.
For example, if you put a weapon inside, as long as the volume is no more than 0.1 cubic meters, the space will automatically change shape to accommodate the weapon.
Li Mu's family actually had quite a few weapons.
Xingyi is not just a fist technique, but a complete martial arts system. Practicing fist techniques also involves practicing weaponry.
Spears, swords, knives, and nine-section whips are all weapons used in Xingyi Quan.
Li Mu was proficient in using all these weapons, but he primarily practiced spears and swords, while only having a slight dabbling in sabers and nine-section whips.
With the space available, Li Mu began to consider putting in some weapons. As the saying goes, even the best kung fu master is no match for a kitchen knife. In today's society, there are too many unexpected events, especially for martial artists who are bold, energetic, and prone to conflicts with others.
When they encounter injustice, they don't tolerate it like ordinary people do; they act impulsively and intervene. This is how the swordsmen and knights-errant who caused trouble everywhere in ancient times came to be.
Li Mu wasn't afraid of conflict; he was afraid of others carrying weapons while he himself was unarmed. Especially for someone like him with higher aspirations, hoping to improve his kung fu to the next level, he was even more unwilling to get injured, particularly by weapons, as it would weaken his body's potential.
One injury might interrupt his path to further advancement in kung fu.
It would be much safer to carry a weapon with you.
With fists, who's afraid of who!
If the opponent pulls out a weapon, he can still take on several opponents and escape unscathed.
Unfortunately, in today's society, who would dare to swagger around on the street carrying a weapon, especially in the capital?
Having space makes things much more convenient.
However, looking at the longsword that was over a meter long and the spear that was several meters long, Li Mu gave up and chose a Swiss Army knife that he had someone bring back from abroad last year.
After thinking about it, I put some of my more important personal belongings in there as well.
I put in my ID card, driver's license, bank cards, credit cards, lighter, umbrella, and then, after thinking for a moment, a pack of tissues. In the end, I even put my wallet in.
Don't get me wrong, it's just a normal umbrella and tissues. If it rains one day, you can easily grab an umbrella; and if your hands get dirty, tissues will automatically appear in your hand.
After studying the space, Li Mu ate while reviewing the mission he had brought with him.
Upon entering the "Let's Get Married" world, the system assigned him three tasks, with a two-year time limit.
1. Help Yang Tao realize her dream of becoming a wedding dress designer.
Second, punish evil and promote good: punish Li Wei, the scumbag who harmed Yang Tao; punish or reform the negative female characters in the drama, so that they will feel deep pain and realize their mistakes.
Third, open a martial arts school.
These three tasks are not particularly difficult.
Helping Yang Tao realize her dream of becoming a wedding dress designer wouldn't be difficult; who wouldn't love a beautiful woman like her? Li Mu not only wanted to help her achieve her dream, but he was also interested in her as a person.
Punish the good and promote the evil, punish the scumbag Li Wei. As Taozi's ex-boyfriend, Li Wei is simply the epitome of a "scumbag".
During his relationship with Yang Tao, he suddenly disappeared, then transferred all of Yang Tao's savings, overspent on four of her credit cards, leaving Tao Tao with only a car with an outstanding loan and a mountain of debt.
One can imagine how Taozi lived those years. On the one hand, she had to work hard to earn money to pay off her debts, and on the other hand, she had to endure the emotional damage caused by Li Wei, this "scumbag," which directly led to Taozi's later resistance to blind dates.
The key point is that Li Wei had just separated from Tao Zi when he started hooking up with Tao Zi's best friend, Lan Weiwei.
Lan Weiwei is also an extreme case. As Taozi's best friend, she secretly dated Li Wei for three years without Taozi's knowledge.
Finally, she got pregnant and fantasized about marrying Li Wei. Unfortunately, she didn't know that Li Wei was not only a complete scumbag, but also a very skilled conman.
After breaking up with Taozi, Li Wei did not leave the capital. Instead, he forged his identity and academic qualifications, became a returnee from overseas, and joined an IT company as a middle manager. Within a few years, he became the company's vice president. He no longer had any interest in Lan Weiwei.
After Lan Weiwei became pregnant, she wanted to marry Li Wei, but then a woman appeared out of nowhere and said that she and Li Wei were already married, and called Lan Weiwei a mistress.
Lan Weiwei broke down on the spot and went to confront Li Wei, only to be falsely accused by Li Wei, who called her a slut who seduced him and deserved it.
During the scuffle, Lan Weiwei fell to the ground, suffered a miscarriage and severe bleeding, and may even have difficulty conceiving again in the future.
Such a fraudster, in the end, was merely exposed and fired from his company—too lenient for him.
Li Mu will have to send him to jail for at least ten or eight years.
As for the negative female characters in the punishment drama, Lan Weiwei is a good example. She seduces her best friend's boyfriend in private, and her character is hardly positive.
Since the system allowed them to be punished and reformed, Li Mu thought of Lan Weiwei, played by Liu Yan. The title of "Queen of Football" was well-deserved, and his heart warmed. He really couldn't bring himself to do it.
Is it possible to reform these scumbag women using this method?
For example, I'll test the devil with my own body; if I don't go to hell, who will?
and also……
It wouldn't be bad to reform myself with a spirit of self-sacrifice.
Li Mu's mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts.
He was speechless. How could someone as proper as me have such thoughts! It must be influenced by my body, definitely.
I'm a positive and upright young man, a decent person, and a potential successor. Although I'm ranked hundreds of millions behind, who knows, I might be called upon to take over one day! How could I possibly have such an unrealistic thought?
After thinking about all sorts of things for a while, I looked at the third task: opening a martial arts school.
As a traditional martial arts enthusiast, I feel that martial arts are declining these days. After practicing kung fu for half my life, how can I not have my own martial arts school?
This is also an option!
Chapter 62 Flappy Bird
To accomplish these tasks, personal effort is one aspect, but there is one thing that is indispensable: money.
Next, we need to figure out how to make money.
Before arriving, it was speculated that the time in the drama should be 2011 or 2012. Based on this, Li Mu did a lot of preparation work, memorizing a large amount of opportunities and data.
Next, we need to verify which ones can be used in this world.
Li Mu has a computer at home, which he often uses to watch movies, browse news, and sometimes find various martial arts materials or download scanned versions of ancient martial arts books.
Turn on your computer and start learning about the world from all aspects, looking for the differences and similarities between the two worlds.
Lottery tickets don't match up at all; as for stocks, why are there so few familiar listed companies? And the few that are familiar have completely different development trajectories, not to mention their stock prices.
The champions of each Champions League and World Cup are different from those in my memory.
BTC hasn't appeared yet; there are only a few unheard-of cryptocurrencies, and not many people know about them.
After researching online, I discovered that while the two worlds have similar general development trajectories, there are significant differences in the details. Those opportunities to remember are no longer available.
Li Mu sighed silently. Thinking he could get rich through speculation was wishful thinking.
If that's the case, then the only way is to earn money through genuine skills.
With Su Mingzhe's computer knowledge, he's quite skilled at programming, if nothing else.
Li Mu remembered reading a report about a foreign programmer who, on a whim, developed a small game called "Flappy Bird" in three days.
This is a pixel game with simple gameplay and even simpler graphics. The core gameplay involves tapping the screen with your finger to control a pixelated bird, flying over pipes of varying lengths that protrude vertically.
This is just a small game; it looks like a complete flop, the kind that nobody would even bother with if it were just left there.
Unexpectedly, the game became incredibly popular, garnering tens of millions of downloads in a short time. The developer earned over $50,000 daily from advertising alone, making it one of the most popular free games of the year.
Li Mu had also downloaded and played it. The game was extremely simple, but it was also addictive and quite bad for phones. He couldn't pass the levels several times, which made him so angry that he almost threw his phone away.
He even suspects that the reason this game is so popular might be because it's so challenging, giving players a bittersweet experience that has many people hooked.
According to reports, the game was developed and released in 2013. This year is only 2011, and it differs from the real world. This world should not have this game now.
