Bald Monk in the City - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Nine Li!

…

…

Yi Qiu took out the Cyborg Cowhead Monster King Brassart from his inventory. This was a brassart that gave off a very high tech feeling to it.

Under the blue thick armor was a high technological design.

Yi Qiu wore the brassart and instantly he was wrapped up in armor from his arm to his shoulder.

For reasons that Yi Qiu didn’t know, the thick armor actually didn’t seem heavy.

Yi Qiu tried to punch out in the air. A sharp air breaking sound rose up. He felt that the strength was decent.

No matter what weapon it was, only after a fight would one know its actual value. After all, since it was a Pale Gold equipment, Yi Qiu was quite confident in the Cyborg Cowhead Monster King armor.

The Integrated Network items had a strict evaluation system and normally they wouldn’t rate useless items highly. If there was, that would mean that the material of the item didn’t reach its full potential.

Yi Qiu tried to move his fingers and it felt a little tight. However, if he just punched there wouldn’t be any effect.

Normally, Yi Qiu wouldn’t use a palm strike. Without skills supporting, a palm and a punch were totally different.

After all, with the contact area of the palm, under the same strength, the effect was far from that of a fist.

Of course, if one needed to cover a wider area to deal a hidden force, or if one had special techniques, a palm strike would be very advantageous.

If not, just using a fist would be much more suitable.

He kept the Cyborg Cowhead Monster King Brassart. Within a short period of time, Yi Qiu wasn’t prepared to do any battle maps.

10 days of crazy battling made Yi Qiu really tired. He had never been through a fight of such difficulty.

Both his mind and body were in need of rest.

If not for the effect of Stillness of Mind, Yi Qiu didn’t know whether he could survive the 10 days.

He stretched and was thinking about where to go to relax.

Lie Fu left a message on the forum to say that he faced a small problem regarding his wife.

It was roughly about the fact that she was unhappy that her husband went out for 3 days, and in rage she took the kids and left to her mother’s home…

Thinking about the style of the Russians, Yi Qiu lit an incense for Lie Fu…

He touched his bald head, opened his laptop and started to scroll the forum.

There hadn’t been anything new recently. After all, it was close to the new year and everyone was busy heading home. As such no one bothered to do anything.

He scrolled for a long time and they were mostly old posts. Yi Qiu closed his laptop and he was prepared to go look at some pretty girls.

Based on the unreliable words of an expert, each time one saw a girl, one’s lifespan would increase…

City C had just a few famous sceneries. Apart from those popular ones, Yi Qiu didn’t want to squeeze with random people.

Naturally, Yuelu Mountain was a good choice. Yi Qiu occasionally climbed Yuelu Mountain when he was in school but due to his weak physique, each time he ran to the peak his stamina ran out.

He bathed once more, changing clothes and he was prepared to climb a mountain.

Speaking of which, his clothes were all black or darker colors. It wasn’t because he loved dark colors, but because if they became dirty, no one could see it…

Although he had a washing machine, white clothes were difficult to clean. In truth, Yi Qiu did like the color white…

The foot of Yuelu Mountain.

There were two entrances at Yuelu Mountain. Thus, there were two paths up. One was short and steep, and one was long and flat.

Yi Qiu chose to climb the steeper one. Although it was steep, as it was a proper path, it was easy to cover.

However, Yi Qiu wasn’t planning to take the proper path.

There were too many people there and it was quite pointless to do so.

There were many small roads around Yuelu Mountain. Some could even be covered by bicycles. Yi Qiu didn’t like to walk these paths in the past.

As it was tough to cover and there weren’t many people, it wasn’t suitable for people who had no stamina.

He touched his bald head and he started to climb up.

It was close to the new year so there weren’t many people on the mountain. Of course this was because Yi Qiu was taking the small path. If he took the actual one there were still a few people climbing and keeping fit.

There were dense trees all around. Although they weren’t as high and tall as the Cowhead Monster Playground ones, there were birds that flew around. It felt like it was full of life.

Since it was winter, there weren’t any snakes and insects. Although Yi Qiu wasn’t afraid of such things, it would be problematic if he bumped into any.

The had just stopped and the path was wet. The leaves on the ground gave off a watery light.

It was noon and the sun shone brightly.

Yi Qiu stepped on the dead leaves and walked slowly in this picturesque scenery. He was brimming with stamina and strength which made the climbing really easy. At that moment, he was in awe, he had distanced himself so much from his old self…

The air was fresh. Even if Yi Qiu stood in the suburbs, the air couldn’t be said to be any fresher.

At least compared to the mountains which energized him, it was far from it.

Yi Qiu looked at a temple in front. It was built on a piece of stone that stuck out from the mountain, looking out of this world, like the place in books that they said celestials stayed in.

Along the broken stone path, Yi Qiu came to the temple. He saw a middle-aged uncle wearing a Taoist robe and eating noodles.

The uncle glanced at Yi Qiu and then continued eating. While he ate, he seemed to have thought about something and glanced at Yi Qiu once more. He was then stunned on the spot…

Yi Qiu didn’t worry about him and looked at the temple. It was really simple; there were three statues and a few mats. The side temples were closed, so he couldn’t see anything.

It seemed like there wasn’t much worth looking at. Moreover, Yi Qiu also didn’t have a habit of praying.

Thus, Yi Qiu passed the temple and continued to climb up.

After reaching the temple, Yi Qiu touched the Black Cow Mark on his forehead. He felt like the old uncle was staring at it…

What he didn’t know was that after he left, uncle placed down his bowl and rushed to the side hall.

There were many books in the side hall. The uncle flipped many books and finally stopped. He picked up an old-looking book and carefully flipped to one of the pages.

Only to see a Black Cow Mark on it, it was the same as the one on Yi Qiu’s forehead!

There were texts written in ancient languages. The uncle translated word by word with much difficulty…

“…Nine…Li…”
