After watching a few hours of teen idol dramas, he got bored and switched through several channels before finally finding a decent action movie. He drank beer while watching TV.
Unknowingly, another two hours passed, and he finally heard the system's notification sound—the system upgrade was successful.
Entering the system, he discovered a new marketplace feature. The items in the system were incredibly diverse, ranging from a pack of spicy strips to an aircraft carrier, with prices varying from 10 kilograms to a million kilograms of gold.
Yes, even the cheapest pack of spicy strips required 10 kilograms of gold. Seeing such expensive spicy strips, Wang Bin admitted he couldn't afford them.
Without realizing it, Wang Bin spent an hour browsing the system marketplace, yet there were still many items he hadn't seen.
He thought the remaining thirty thousand kilograms of gold was a lot, but he realized there were too many things he wanted to buy, and the gold wasn't enough. In the end, he didn't purchase a single item.
"Forget it, I'll buy what I can here first, and get the rest when I need them over there!"
Wang Bin sighed, noticing it was already late, and went to bed.
The next morning, Wang Bin got up early, washed up, put on his workout clothes, and went out for a run.
To train more with his master, Li Zhengguo, he got up even earlier than last time. After running two laps, he saw his master arriving, greeted him with a smile, and ran three more laps before approaching Li Zhengguo.
"Master!" As soon as he got to Li Zhengguo, Wang Bin clasped his hands in salute.
"Not bad, your physical condition is good, and you're diligent. I just wonder if you've neglected the Tai Chi I taught you?" Li Zhengguo stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled.
Wang Bin had anticipated that Li Zhengguo would test him, so he quickly adjusted his mindset and started practicing Tai Chi.
Li Zhengguo didn't expect that after just a day, Wang Bin's Tai Chi would be so well-formed. Moreover, as time went on, Li Zhengguo sensed Wang Bin was mobilizing the surrounding energy. Although it was weak, achieving this in just over a day couldn't be described as mere talent; it was extraordinary.
If he hadn't known that Wang Bin had never learned Tai Chi before, he wouldn't have believed what he was seeing.
"Please guide me, Master!" After finishing a set of Tai Chi, Wang Bin saluted Li Zhengguo again.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"Very well done. I didn't expect that in just over a day, you could already mobilize energy! However, some movements aren't standard, and the coordination between movement and intention isn't perfect. I'll correct each move for you now, and I hope you can grasp it with your heart!"
"Yes!"
Li Zhengguo was very pleased with Wang Bin's performance. Not only was he diligent, but his attitude was also very proper, and most importantly, his talent was exceptional.
Initially, Li Zhengguo just intended to give Wang Bin some casual guidance, but seeing how outstanding he was, he considered taking him as a closed-door disciple.
They practiced for two hours, and when Li Zhengguo saw it was getting late, he gave some instructions and left. Wang Bin, on the other hand, just grabbed a quick bite at a nearby eatery before heading home to change and go out for a big shopping spree.
You Hongfei called him, asking if he wanted to see the renovation plans at the company, but Wang Bin declined. He trusted You Hongfei completely to handle it, and he had many things to purchase today.
There were many places he needed to visit, so he had to hurry with his shopping.
Buying food was simple; he just walked into the supermarket. However, finding surgical knives and anesthetics was a bit tricky; he couldn't find a place to buy them.
He asked many pharmacies, but none sold them. He decided to ask You Hongfei to help look into it.
Unable to buy surgical knives and anesthetics, he bought other medicines instead, spending a total of 100,000 yuan at the pharmacy, making the manager and staff very happy as they easily met their monthly targets and earned a good commission.
Next, Wang Bin went to a large mall and bought ten military watches. Last time, Li Dazhu didn't have a watch, and if Officer Miao hadn't given hers to him, they wouldn't have been able to coordinate their actions. So, watches were important.
He bought ten not to give one to everyone but to distribute them to the main combat personnel, with extras for new members in the future.
After leaving the mall, Wang Bin went to a security store and, in the name of a jewelry company, bought twenty sets of bulletproof vests and helmets, as well as a few riot shields.
He also wanted to buy some night vision scopes, but unfortunately, such items couldn't be bought domestically and would have to be purchased from the system marketplace once he reached the apocalypse.
On his way home, he bought a barrel of gasoline and realized there wasn't much else to buy.
When he returned to the community, it was already dinner time. After parking his car, he went to a nearby restaurant for a quick meal.
At the restaurant, Wang Bin ordered a few dishes and sipped tea, lost in thought. He realized that every time he came back, he was exhausted, spending most of his time shopping.
Wang Bin felt it was necessary to simplify his workload, so he took out his phone and called You Hongfei.
"Hongfei, what are you up to?"
"Just got back from the renovation company. I've finalized the design style with them, and they can start working in three days at most!"
"Oh, that fast!"
"I think it's still slow!"
"Well, no rush. By the way, can you help me procure some medical equipment and supplies, and also arrange for a small warehouse?"
"The warehouse is no problem; just tell me your requirements, and I'll ask an agent. As for medical equipment and supplies, I have a high school classmate in the medical system. I'll ask them later."
"The warehouse doesn't need to be too big, 200 square meters will do, and preferably near my home. As for the medical equipment and supplies, I'll send you a list once I think it through."
"Alright!"
After the call, the dishes were ready. Just as Wang Bin picked up his chopsticks, he sensed a dangerous aura approaching him.
Startled, Wang Bin quickly looked around and immediately noticed a suspicious middle-aged man sitting by the entrance. The man pretended to be casually drinking tea, but Wang Bin felt he was very dangerous.
He quickly recalled the call from Zhao Ya a few days ago, warning him that Young Master Li had hired an assassin and to be careful.
"Could this man be the assassin? I wonder if he has a gun?"
Wang Bin realized he had been a bit too hasty earlier, and the other party must have already noticed he was exposed.
The situation was very dangerous, and the other party could make a move at any moment.
If he hadn't noticed, he could easily be taken out when he walked to the door.
"What should I do? Oh, right, this restaurant's kitchen has a back door. I can leave from there!"
Thinking of this, Wang Bin felt a bit more at ease. He pretended to eat a few bites calmly while keeping an eye on the suspicious man.
