The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Lu Yan woke up slowly in the early morning.

With Wei Xu in charge, he completely let loose last night.

First, he practiced breathing techniques until he was completely exhausted, and then he put his mind to the test.

During this period, he also tried practicing meditation while in a state of enlightenment, and the results were quite gratifying.

He also discovered that as his mental state improved, the duration of his problem-solving skills also increased significantly.

He only fell asleep when both his mind and body reached their limits and he could no longer endure it.

After a quick wash, he didn't rush into cultivation.

He watered the three extraordinary plants with the nutrient solution he had obtained, and then activated the "Plant Control" ability that came with the Farmer sequence to gently establish a connection with them.

This is a unique cultivation method of the Farmer Sequence, which not only deepens the connection between farmers and plants, but also moderately accelerates their growth rate without damaging the plants.

The whole process took more than half an hour.

He didn't feel that this was a waste of time, but rather regarded it as an important part of his cultivation.

The farmer's loan was the main reason, but he also really wanted to cultivate these three small plants.

Compared to humans, these extraordinary plants that he cultivated with his own hands are clearly more trustworthy.

Moreover, the reason he dared to indulge in cultivation so freely last night was because the three little plants were on guard.

After some care, the three saplings were clearly in much better condition.

Especially the sunflowers, bathed in the morning sun, exuded vibrant vitality.

The pea shooters and nuts nearby, nourished by this vitality, exuded a sense of joy.

"That's good, it saves me the trouble of taking care of her."

Lu Yan leaned forward to examine it, then his gaze suddenly paused.

On the sunflower head, several sunflower seeds seemed to be filled with sunlight, shimmering with a soft glow.

"Is it collecting sunlight?"

His eyes suddenly turned strange; was he really going to become Crazy Dave?

Lu Yan tried to pick off a glowing sunflower seed. As soon as his fingertip touched it, he felt a slight fluctuation in his blood and qi, and a trace of weak energy flowed into his fingertip.

"Could these sunflowers be helpful to my cultivation?"

This time, Lu Yan was genuinely a little surprised.

He originally intended to use the three saplings as sentinels, at least until they grew up, but he never expected to have such an unexpected gain.

He released the sunflower seeds from his hand, which instantly transformed into sunlight and scattered, before being absorbed by the pea shooters and nuts nearby.

Clearly, these sunflower seeds are more beneficial to the growth of other plants.

"As expected, each sequence has its own unique characteristics..."

Lu Yan was deeply impressed by the wonder of this world, and then looked at the Peashooter and the Nut.

Unfortunately, these two small plants did not show anything special.

Lu Yan gave up for the time being and peeked out the window.

On the training field, the selected talents have begun another day of intensive training.

Cultivating the Crimson Blood Breathing Technique is not easy. Not everyone can cultivate as intensely as Lu Yan. Most of the time, they still need to rely on primitive methods to train their bodies.

Fortunately, the gang provided enough exotic beast meat, so their cultivation progress wouldn't be slow in the long run.

Every now and then, these people would glance in the direction of his villa, their eyes filled with resentment and discontent.

If the Crimson Cloud Potion were still in their hands, they wouldn't need to suffer like this.

But these emotions instantly turned into fear when their eyes accidentally met Lu Yan by the window, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.

The bloodstains in the hall had just been cleaned up, and they didn't want to follow in the other side's footsteps.

Lu Yan couldn't help but sneer at this sight; only one night had passed, and these people were already getting restless.

Perfect timing! Let's take this opportunity to complete the first requirement for advancing to the thug ranks.

He got up and went downstairs, enjoyed a delicious breakfast made with exotic beast meat, and headed straight to the training ground.

Upon seeing Lu Yan arrive, everyone felt a pang of panic.

I just glanced at him, is this guy going to retaliate?

"You, come out with me."

Lu Yan casually swept his gaze across the crowd, pointed to a burly gang member, and spoke in a flat and indifferent tone.

"Fourth...Fourth Master, I don't think I've offended you, have I? I was standing at the back that day..."

The man who was chosen turned pale and tried to beg for mercy, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind from a punch and then fainted.

Lu Yan didn't go for the kill this time.

The previous incident was just a formality, a way to establish authority, and Wei Xu wouldn't hold it against him.

But if he kills too many people, Wei Xu might not be so polite to him anymore.

[Staff Promotion Requirement 1: Successfully achieve 50 street fight victories (43/50)]

The panel displayed the subtitles on time, confirming his earlier guess.

"It doesn't require high combat intensity, but it's strictly confined to the 'street' environment, which really fits the 'thug' category."

Lu Yan pondered for a moment. If this logic were followed, then the advancement conditions for the farmer sequence should also be related to its characteristics.

Play.

This word suddenly popped into Lu Yan's mind.

Both the awakening and advancement conditions seem to be guiding them to become the corresponding sequence characters.

If he takes on the role voluntarily, could it bring additional benefits?

He made a note of the idea, summoned the guards at the villa entrance, and ordered them to drag the unconscious gang member back. He then randomly selected someone from the training ground.

Seeing the former "go out vertically and come back horizontally", the remaining gang members panicked completely. They turned pale and trembled all over, fearing that they would be the next ones to be chosen.

Within minutes, seven more gang members were knocked unconscious and dragged back by Lu Yan.

[Hawk Promotion Requirement 1: Successfully achieve 50 street fight victories (50/50) - Completed]

With the last member of the gang falling, the panel notification finally updated.

At this point, only one condition remained for promotion in the thug sequence.

[Third criterion for promotion: Master a Black Iron level breathing technique to the highest level (Mastery/Mastery)]

"In this way, it is actually the progress of the scoundrel sequence itself that is being held back."

Lu Yan murmured softly, and seeing that the hooligan sequence did not react, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

After spending a lot of time with them, these scoundrels aren't so easy to fool anymore.

Having achieved his goal, Lu Yan wasted no more time and turned to go back inside.

Only after his figure completely disappeared from sight did the people on the training field collapse to the ground in relief, panting heavily, but they dared not look at Lu Yan again.

……

On the balcony of the central villa, Wei Xu and Yao Qing stood side by side, taking in everything that had just happened.

"Chief, what is Lu Yan doing?"

Yao Qing frowned, her tone full of confusion.

If this was meant to establish authority, Lu Yan's method was rather gentle, a stark contrast to his previous approach.

Compared to his decisive and ruthless performance yesterday, he was far inferior.

But to give someone a treat after a big beating isn't the right way to do it.

"It doesn't matter, as long as no one dies."

Wei Xu's tone was unreadable as he asked, "Have you investigated his background?"

Yao Qing nodded and said, "We've found out. He grew up in a market town, and his parents were ordinary migrants who lost their lives in a mutation wave seven years ago."

"After that, he joined the Black Dog Gang, and he's been there ever since..."

Wei Xu understood, showing no surprise whatsoever.

For Muyun Technology, forging an identity that is completely undetectable is extremely simple, and it is normal that no problems can be found.

But this perfection is precisely where those old guys miscalculated the most!

Moreover, to think he could sabotage his mission in this way is an insult from above.

"Keep an eye on their cultivation progress. Mu Yun will send someone to take them away in a month."

Wei Xu paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you found the people who attacked Lu Yan before?"

"No, those who did the attacks were all hired from other neighborhoods; we can't trace their origins."

Yao Qing's tone turned serious as she said, "I suspect this person is the mastermind behind stealing that batch of potions and wants to kill Lu Yan to silence him."

Wei Xu nodded slightly, a deep light flashing in his single eye.

"Continue the investigation."

Seeing this, Yao Qing didn't say anything more and silently withdrew.
