nowadays.

Half a month has passed since he downloaded the unarmed combat skill.

Hu Long did not wait in the usual manner.

In order to quickly adapt to and master this skill, in addition to spending money on combat training.

He also did strength training exercises such as squats, push-ups (bodyweight), running, and interval sprints.

With practice, perhaps it was because he downloaded the master skill of hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, the body's natural ability to efficiently absorb and metabolize nutrients can accelerate the absorption of food.

This allowed him to clearly perceive that his physical fitness was improving rapidly and visibly, at an astonishing rate.

He has also gained a lot of weight and is no longer as thin as before, although he doesn't look much different from the outside.

However, in reality, his physical condition has recovered to that of a normal adult, and may even have slightly exceeded it.

This rate of progress is extremely rapid; take running as an example.

At first, he was exhausted after running three kilometers on his first day.

But in just one week, I was able to run 20 kilometers with ease.

Now, half a month later, he can run forty kilometers and only feels slightly out of breath. Hu Long even feels that his body has not reached its limit.

Such a pace of progress is simply impossible for a normal person.

Because the human body needs a short period of time to adapt, it cannot be done overnight. Excessive training will only harm the body and have the opposite effect.

But Hu Long is different.

He could clearly feel that even without training, his physique was improving at an astonishing rate every day.

Training can help him improve his physical fitness more quickly.

All of this was simply due to the boost brought about by downloading a master-level unarmed combat game.

of course.

Apart from training.

During this time, Hu Long also kept a close watch on Xue Wu's movements.

The advantage of the technological age is that even an ordinary person, after mastering computer technology, can easily do some incredible things.

With his masterful network attack and defense skills, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do this.

For example, right now, after he turns on his phone, he can easily locate Xue Wu's position and see his call logs, chat history, and so on.

It can even access the other party's camera to take pictures of them.

The other person's phone became like an eye to him, allowing him to monitor them at all times.

Hu Long has been waiting for the right opportunity these past few days.

Unfortunately, he didn't find any really good opportunities.

This gradually made Hu Long lose patience, after all, he was not a patient person to begin with.

Especially when there is a life-threatening situation.

Thinking of this, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"I have now completely mastered mastery of hand-to-hand combat, and it's time to solve this problem. Since I can't find an opportunity, I have to find another way."

The midday autumn sun hung high in the sky, baking the winding mountain road into a blinding gray-white.

A yellow bus with peeling paint slowly climbed up the winding mountain road.

The car body was covered in a thick layer of dust.

The carriage was filled with the dull atmosphere typical of long-distance buses.

Several young passengers stared down at their phone screens, the glow reflecting on their tired faces.

Many others leaned back in their seats, swaying slightly with the vehicle's bumps, and closed their eyes to rest.

"vomit--"

A sudden sound of retching broke the silence of the carriage.

In the back, a young man was hunched over, clutching a plastic bag tightly in his hand, making vomiting sounds.

Immediately, an unpleasant odor spread, and the people around couldn't help but frown.

The vomiting continued for a while before gradually subsiding.

The young man straightened up, his face pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He wiped his mouth with a tissue and gave the others a somewhat awkward smile.

Then he looked at the person next to him.

"Excuse me, sir, could you please open the window?"

The young man spoke in a low voice, which was somewhat hoarse, perhaps due to vomiting.

As he spoke, he casually tied the plastic bag in his hand to prevent the smell from escaping.

Sitting to the side was a middle-aged man wearing an old leather jacket.

The man was wearing sunglasses, and his thick beard almost completely covered the lower half of his face.

He had been quietly gazing out the window.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man turned his head, his gaze calmly sweeping over the young man's pale face before settling on the plastic bag in his hand.

"fine!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pushed the window beside him open a little.

In an instant, a gentle mountain breeze rushed in, carrying the crisp scent of grass and trees, washing away the stale air in the carriage.

A breeze brushed against the young man's face, allowing him to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Thanks!"

The middle-aged man didn't speak again, but turned back to look out the window, his gaze fixed on the distant green mountains.

The bus continued to wind its way along the mountain road, the engine sound echoing through the quiet road.

The bearded man was none other than Hu Long, who had left Huanyang City.

As for why it turned out this way...

It's because of the two skills he downloaded.

[Makeup Master]

(Note: With masterful makeup skills, you can change your appearance at will. Whether it's everyday grooming, artistic styling, or completely disguising yourself as someone else, it can all be done in a short time, and the effect is so realistic that it's hard to tell the difference.)

[Pseudo-voice (Master)]

(Note: Proficient in voice imitation techniques, able to easily mimic the speaking styles of different ages, genders, and personalities, and even perfectly reproduce the voice characteristics and pronunciation habits of specific individuals, making it difficult for people to distinguish the real from the fake.)

He became who he is because of these two skills.

Downloading these two skills consumed nine megabytes of data, leaving only a sliver of source value on the panel.

But it was all worth it.

By combining these two skills, he could completely transform himself into a different person.

As for his current appearance, it is based on the image of a wanted criminal with a similar build that is found online.

He used internet technology to steal that person's information.

With the help of master-level makeup skills, it's impossible for someone who isn't extremely familiar with the person standing right in front of them to tell the difference between the real and fake.

However, before he could achieve his goal, he was arrested as a criminal.

He also concealed some information about his identity and disguised his face.

This is the benefit of having multiple skills.

As for why he dressed up like this, it was certainly not for a trip to relax.

It was because of the problems he had.

However, not finding an opportunity, he did not blindly choose to attack Xue Wu directly.

Although they are different worlds.

However, they also have some things in common.

For example, nowadays.

The public video surveillance system in the State of Yu has been launched on a large scale and is taking shape, although it is far from being highly widespread and intelligent.

Surveillance cameras are only present at banks, shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, and major intersections.

But it still exists.

Huanyang City is a large city with a dense population.

Unexpected events are likely to occur.

Rather than choosing to take action against Xue Wu and attract attention.

It would be better to go straight to Xue Wu's hometown and find his parents.

That's the advantage of the information age: as long as the technology is advanced enough, the other party's information is completely transparent to them.

Hu Long easily located Xue Wu's hometown using only Xue Wu's phone.

They also managed to find out all of the other person's interpersonal relationships.

Xue Wu's network of relationships is not complicated; everything about him is no different from that of an ordinary person.

However, he doesn't have many friends or relatives, only his parents in his hometown.

Hu Long then prepared to attack the two directly.

Although it was a bit unethical to do this, Hu Long didn't care. If someone tried to mess with him, he would definitely retaliate.

Of course, there's another point. According to some information he obtained from monitoring Xue Wu, these two old guys weren't good people either, and their actions were partly responsible for the problems he had.
