'What is going on' Xi Chen thought.
Since he was busy gang leader on,he never read any web novels.So he did not thought of those system or trasmigrator golden finger.So he was very surprised to see the panel.
Since it was nearing winter,a sudden cold wind brought Xi Chen back to reality.
Xi Chen thought about it and he again start practicing the fist art.
Huhpppp....huppppp.....
He practiced for a long time before he started to run out of breath.Then he look at the panel.
Panel-
Martial Technique:Simple Fist Arts(13/100)
Martial Realm:none.
Combat Power Realm:none.
To his surprise,the points behind the simple fist Arts went up.Suddenly,he started tearing up out of joy.
He spent 19 years working and wrecking his brain up to Live a happy and welcoming life.And to do that one must be strong enough as a Martial artist.Now he can finally live that life with the help of this panel entity.
He started practicing again tirelessly to make the points up.But when he look at the panel-
Martial Technique:Simple Fist Arts(13/100)
It did not went up.
He thought to himself 'Maybe I can only make it go up 3 points a day or by sudden enlightenment'.
"But it is enough for today's. I have days ahead of me. I should take this slowly he said to himself.'Ugh..I am stink'.
Then he took a shower and went inside the house.When he came inside the room there were one wooden bed and on the opposite of the wooden bed is his sleeping straw bed.On the wooden bed,his two little siblings were sleeping.He look at them and smiled.Since they are poor they can only afford one wooden bed.Even the old furnitures was sold when his parents died for the funeral and coffins.
Xi Chen sighed a bit and then went to the straw bed.He lie down on the bed and thought to himself 'Maybe it would not be long before they can live a normal life'.And went to sleep.
Early morning,when the sun just came up he went to a nearby bun shop.
Whe he reach the bun shop,there were already two customers.He went up to counter where a middle aged lady was making buns.He said to the lady "Aunt Li business is going good huh?".
Aunt Li look up and said "oh its you Xi boy.The business is not going good and just yesterday I paid 40 copper coins to the Black Axes gang.I do not know how us common people can live in this world".
"Yeah, how can us common people live in this chaotic world when they always demand payment even though they do nothing for us.Even the government is silent" One of the customer chimed in.
"Shussss... do you want to die.We don't talk bad about the gangs and government or else they will silence you" The other one said in a low voice.
"So how much bun do you want" Aunt Li turns to Xi Chen and asked.
"Five,one to eat and four to go" Xi Chen replied.
"That will be 10 copper coins" Aunt Li packed the four buns in a rough paper and one openly.Then she handed the buns to Xi Chen.
Xi Chen grabs the buns and when to his shop.
When he was walking back,he saw two burly man with black axes on their hands standing near his shop.When they saw him coming back,they walk up to him and said " Pay up the protection fee". And one of the man reach out his hand to Xi Chen.
"Sure sure"Xi Chen said reach into his money pouch and bring out 40 copper coins and hand them to the man reaching out his hand.
The burly man said "Add another 10 copper coins".
"Isn't it 40 copper coins"
"The 10 is for making us waited"
Xi Chen show a fleeting look of anger.
But it did not escaped the eyes of the two men.And one of them said "What you want to fight us? Huh?".
"I dare not,I dare not" Xi Chen waved his hands and adds another 10 copper coins.Just then they leave.
'I thought why they didn't come yesterday,it turns out they wanted to take advantage of me'.Xi Chen grumbled.
He went inside the backyard and sees the two siblings washing their faces and brushing their teeth.He said to them "Here is two buns each for you two" and place them on the bench. Xi Chen then went out to the shop.
He opened the shop and started working on his orders.When he was fanning the furnace,the intense heat made sweat all over and suddenly the same panel appeared.
