Chapter 859: Precious Membership Card
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the eyes of a couple, their other partner would always be stupidly adorable... Mu Zi Xian’s “stupid” in this case wasn’t objective in the least.
If it was Fearless, he would have been able to notice the difference in Wang Yu.
Martial arts was after all a technique meant for killing, thus martial artists all had a certain violent aura around them. However, the society now was a lawful one and the sentence for a street brawl could go up to more than half a year in jail...
Therefore, the higher social ranking a person has, the more he would be concerned over his own mentality. With the advancement of one’s cultivation in martial arts, the more reserved this violent aura would be.
At the end of the day, Wang Yu was merely a 26-year-old youth. Thus, his mentality and way of thinking were still underdeveloped as compared to his elders. Even though his killing intent was suppressed normally, it wasn’t completely concealed. There would be a leak to it at times and if he was triggered, the outcome would be devastating.
Now that he had successfully broken through to a new realm, the violent tendencies that would occasionally be subconsciously released from him were completely suppressed. The modest, calm and indifferent stature that Wang Yu had as a martial artist was even more prominent now.
Seeing the affectionate gaze of Mu Zi Xian, Wang Yu couldn’t help but laugh blissfully. Holding onto Mu Zi Xian’s shoulder, he said, “Let’s go get a meal first! I will proceed on to stabilise my foundation in this new realm after we do so.”
Stabilising one’s foundation in a realm after a breakthrough was the most crucial step in this process. In order to do so, one had to exchange moves with an expert, allowing oneself to get familiar with the feeling of activating one’s muscle and cells after stepping into the new realm.
However, in the current society, the number of people that practised martial arts were dwindling, much less the number of experts in this field. Thus, in order for a martial artist to stabilise his or her own foundation in a realm, he or she would have to rely on external help.
Through the use of tempering one’s muscles, it would allow the body to experience firsthand the feeling of stepping into this new realm.
As real as virtual reality games can get, in reality, the muscles in one’s body would not get activated. This was why Wang Yu was in such a hurry to go offline this time.
For an expert like Wang Yu, a breakthrough in realms was something that could only occur once in a hundred years. If he were to miss this opportunity just for the sake of 2x EXP in a game, he might as well have stopped practising martial arts given his IQ.
“Stabilising your foundation in a new realm? We certainly do not have the necessary facilities for you to do so in our house!” Being a martial arts maniac, all Wang Yu mostly talked about to Mu Zi Xian was about martial arts. Thus, Mu Zi Xian had more or less became an expert in the field itself. In the case of stabilising one’s foundation in a new realm, Mu Zi Xian would definitely have a certain understanding towards it.
However, Wang Yu’s current house certainly did not have the necessary facilities to support Wang Yu’s stabilisation, which made things a little awkward.
Wang Yu smiled and took out a card from a drawer, saying, “That is not a problem.”
“This... Wasn’t this the card that was given to you by that guy?” Mu Zi Xian was shocked momentarily upon seeing the card in Wang Yu’s hand.
“Li Jian!” Wang Yu said, nodding his head.
Li Jian was the one that got matchmade with Mary the previous time around. Mu Zi Xian had even poured tea over that brat’s face. Thankfully, Wang Yu’s martial arts was on another level, causing the other party to stop pursuing this matter, even giving him a card at the end of their encounter.
Thinking about what had happened previously, Mu Zi Xian’s face started to become hot.
“Heh, seems like accepting this card previously was the right choice. I heard that the place is popular to the point where an ordinary person with money would not even be able to enter,” Mu Zi Xian said, feeling fortunate about the entire incident.
“Mrs. Wang truly has foresight!” Wang Yu made use of this opportunity to throw a compliment at Mu Zi Xian.
“Ha ha, you are not too shabby yourself, having found a wonderful wife such as myself,” Mu Zi Xian said.
Wang Yu shamelessly replied, “En, both of us are extraordinary!”
“Go f*ck yourself!” Mu Zi Xian said, laughing while giving Wang Yu a shove.
Wang Yu had been to Li Jian’s club before and could recall that it was only two roads away from the small area that he lived in. After settling their meal, Wang Yu and Mu Zi Xian made their way over to the club.
Li Jian’s club was called Tian Yuan Fitness Center and was the largest indoor fitness club in the entire L City. Apart from the basic facilities such as a gym as well as an indoor swimming pool, it also boasts a shooting range and horse range for training purposes, and was one of the iconic buildings in L City.
At such a young age, Li Jian that brat already had such an empire under his rule. It was no wonder that he had such an air of arrogance previously... seems like he had such an achievement to back him up.
What made Wang Yu and Mu Zi Xian depressed was, how did someone of the same social stature as Mary get matchmade with someone like Li Jian?
It should be noted that, even though there was freedom to love now of days, it was still appropriate to find someone of the same standing. More so for someone like Li Jian; how was it possible for him to be matchmade with an insignificant cashier like Mary?
Of course, as depressed as he was, Wang Yu wasn’t as gossipy as Mu Zi Xian. He knew that everyone had their own secrets and they were things that are meant to be left unsaid. Now that both Mary and themselves no longer had any financial worries, both parties would have sooner or later moved out of the house. After all, Mary was just a tenant, they weren’t close to the point whereby they could talk about anything under the sun.
Upon arriving at the club, they found that the venue was huge but there weren’t many customers around. It was just as what Mu Zi Xian had said. Li Jian’s club did not have a lack of customers; any random rich man might not have the necessary qualifications to enter.
The reception and the security at the entrance of the club were welcoming. However, the warm and friendly façade that they had put up when greeting customers certainly showed that this club wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
“Good afternoon, sir. How can I help you?”
Seeing Mu Zi Xian pulling Wang Yu in, the staff went up to warmly receive them.
“Gym,” Wang Yu said upfront.
“Please show us your membership card,” the receptionist warmly said.
Wang Yu took out the card given to him by Li Jian, handing it over to the staff.
After looking at the card in her hands, the smile on her face momentarily vanished.
“What’s the matter?”
Upon seeing the drastic change in the female receptionist’s expression, her other female colleague came forward to find out what was happening. Upon seeing the card in her colleague’s hand, she cried out in shock, “This... it’s a lifetime membership card?”
“It should be right... It’s a lifetime membership card,” the female receptionist which had initially approached Wang Yu said.
A lifetime membership card was distributed to the lifetime members of Li Jian’s fitness club. There were only a total of 10 cards that were available and only 4 of them have been issued so far. Apart from Wang Yu, the other 3 were regular customers and were all prominent figures. What made all of the staff curious was the mysterious identity of the fourth owner of the card. How could he have received such a card and yet decide not to turn up with it at all?
To think that the owner of the fourth card was an ordinary-looking citizen that was bringing his wife around to browse the streets. How could they not be stunned by this?
Even though Wang Yu was still young and inexperienced, he wasn’t stupid. Upon observing the expression of the two ladies, he could figure out more or less what had happened. He then quietly said to Mu Zi Xian, “Seems like the card that Li Jian gave us is rather precious.”
“Seems like it... Why don’t we return it back to him?” Mu Zi Xian had the mindset of an ordinary citizen. Receiving such a precious item from someone after getting bullied by themselves made Mu Zi Xian feel a sense of insecurity.
Mu Zi Xian had the clearest idea as to how capable Wang Yu was. In the event Li Jian made Wang Yu commit certain tasks... this was no longer in the virtual world but in the real world instead.
Thinking up till this point, Mu Zi Xian couldn’t help but tug at Wang Yu’s sleeves, indicating that they should leave this place.
“En!” Wang Yu patted Mu Zi Xian’s shoulder and nodded.
At this moment, both of the lady receptionists had finally recovered from their shock.
One of the ladies, seeing that Wang Yu was a young lad, brought her chest out and said excitedly asked Wang Yu, “Excuse me, should I notify President Li first?”
