Chapter 460: Chapter 235: The Path of the Mighty is Endless!
“Roommates, huh?
This outfit is quite something; even the bodyguards are wearing De Vance 257 custom suits. As for this guy in front of me who seems to have an even higher status than I, the more I look at his clothes, the more they resemble those limited-edition Scabao top-grade fabrics from the elite circles of the Capital Star.
When one poser meets another, all that surges up in their hearts is a raging battle spirit.
White Hair chuckled and lifted his eyebrows, ‘Why would I be nervous?’
Li Xiaoxi quietly shook off the hand holding his shoulder; when White Hair reached out again, he pushed it away once more.
‘Don’t move!’
‘Big brother, can you stop grabbing my shoulder all the time? It makes my hand tremble,’ Li Xiaoxi complained about to lose his cool.
‘Oh, it’s a subconscious act, professional habit. Well, let me introduce myself; I’m Yin Shuai from the Microelectronics Department.’
‘Li Xiaoxi, Intelligence Department, nice to meet you.’
Their gaze shifted simultaneously to the young man across from them who exuded a distinctive charisma.
‘Gu Yunyou, nice to meet you for the first time, please take good care of me,’ he said with a radiant smile and extended his right hand.
Wow, this is interesting.
White Hair was the first to shake hands, followed by Li Xiaoxi.
Now that the three had met, Gu Yunyou slightly shook his head back and said, ‘There’s nothing for you here. You can leave now.’
The four men in suits remained silent, respectfully bowed their heads, and orderly left the doorway.
After seeing the floating stairs descend, Li Xiaoxi finally let out a sigh of relief and excitedly said, ‘I thought there were always going to be three people in our apartment, never expected you to arrive several days late. Those four bodyguards of yours were terrifying; they completely immobilized me with fear just now.’
‘And, your background seems pretty scary. I must say upfront, I’m just an ordinary person.’
Li Xiaoxi cleverly added a patch to his statement, earning a few more impressed looks from White Hair beside him. This snapshot fanatic is really stable.
However, the ever-so-serious Gu Yunyou suddenly seemed like he deflated, winked at the two, and then burst into hearty laughter. This sudden change caught both men off guard.
‘Those four monitors finally left, they were arranged by my family. Finally, they’re gone!’
‘So, this is your real personality! Good thing I secretly preserved that photo of you just now.’ Li Xiaoxi was startled first, then relaxed.
It’s so nice and friendly when everyone communicates like this, just now I could feel a huge generation gap.
Photo?
Seeing the puzzled look in his eyes, the snapshot maniac lightly pressed a hidden button on the holographic generator atop the table.
Stern face, meticulous, the slightly tight mocha-colored custom casual suit displayed his physique to perfection, and his flaxen hair was styled so impeccably it was astonishing. The slightly blurred background showcased four black-suited men standing to the sides.
The appearance of this photo would have surely drawn gasps from girls, as it’s straight out of an idol drama, featuring the male lead.
Gu Yunyou looked startled, his voice filled with amazement as he pointed to the photo, ‘Did you take this just now?’
Pride glowed on Li Xiaoxi’s face; in this domain, he was the king!
Suddenly, White Hair blurted out a question, ‘Your family isn’t from Blue Capital Star, are they?’
Carrying his suitcase towards the living room sofa, Gu Yunyou smiled and replied, ‘No, they are from Capital Star. But recently, my family is planning to expand to Blue Capital Star, so I followed them here. I took some time off earlier to help get settled. Bro, your hairstyle is really cool.’
After setting down his suitcase, the young man casually complimented, fitting more and more into his youthful character.
The initially doubtful White Hair’s eyes instantly turned into twinkling stars, as he slapped his thigh enthusiastically.
‘A kindred spirit, ahahaha, I thought so too!’ he bragged joyfully to the others.
This comment halted Gu Yunyou, who was about to sit down, as he turned an inquiring gaze to Li Xiaoxi, who seemed normal by comparison.
Displaying a calm smile, Li Xiaoxi looked back at his new roommate and then turned his head quickly, now showing a deeply touched expression.
‘Our Brother Mao is the pinnacle of Ding Chuan aesthetics, from appearance to soul, stirring the hearts of countless girls.’
Upon hearing this, White Hair pursed his lips, his chest shaking excitedly like a vibrating robot, showcasing his noble charisma.
Amused and slightly bewildered by the abrupt shift in atmosphere, Gu Yunyou quickly changed the subject, ‘Isn’t there supposed to be one more person in our apartment?’
‘Oh yeah, of course! Let me tell you about Gu, that guy is a total beast…’
‘Ah dododododo~~’
Bam!
The door suddenly burst open, and a figure like the wind dashed inside.
Although the sofa was less than ten centimeters away, Gu Yunyou sprang to the side as if a spring had been installed under his butt.
‘I’m back!’
Mu Fan suddenly braked sharply, wisely holding his helmet and staying put.
His reaction was quick upon seeing an unfamiliar figure in the apartment.
‘Who’s this?’
‘Gu Yunyou, our new roommate, definitely from a big family, the ultimate rich second generation,’ White Hair quickly said, adding, ‘Because he has a noble aesthetic!’
‘I’m Mu Fan, a freshman in the Mecha Department.’
‘I’m also in the Mecha Department, number 2421. What a coincidence.’ Gu Yunyou said with a smile.
Classmates from the same department!
Mu Fan casually tossed his helmet into his room, licked his lips, then suddenly turned to White Hair.
His greenish gaze unsettled Yin Shuai, ‘Why are you looking at me?’
‘Do you see we have a new person in the dorm? How about we…’
‘Ha ha, I understand, are we going out for a meal? No problem, I’ll treat, just say what you want to eat.’
Gu Yunyou laughed merrily, jumping in without waiting for White Hair to speak, evidently enjoying the atmosphere.
White Hair pretended to be reserved and coughed, “That’s not quite appropriate, actually…”
“I want to eat the secret recipe chicken from the restaurant at the door. I’ve been craving it for so long, let’s go eat, okay??” Mu Fan said excitedly.
White Hair glanced at the expressions of the other two buddies, covered his face with his hand, and thought to himself:
“Damn, Mu Fan is awesome!”
Of course, in the end, under Mu Fan’s strong insistence, the location for their first dinner gathering in room 214 of Apartment A13 in the Maple Leaf Third District was decided to be—Ding Chuan’s No. 6 Door Secret Recipe Chicken Food Stall.
Consequently, the fourth bedroom that had been vacant for a few days finally welcomed its master.
Mu Fan returned to his bedroom, dove into bed, and fell into a blissful sleep. Before dozing off, he even thought about inviting Nuonuo for the dinner gathering.
However, the Sky Communication device underneath his pillow, infused with Miss Nuonuo’s boundless resentment, went unnoticed by Mu Fan.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Mu Fan suddenly opened his eyes, his fatigue entirely dispelled. The exaggerated recovery ability of his body caused sounds like popping beans to resound throughout him.
With a stretch and a leap from the bed, he moved his limbs and felt the surging power within his body, and the cool comfort at the heart. Mu Fan took a deep breath.
His gaze, filled with resolve, watched the shadow of the green mountains outside his window, with flames dancing in his pupils.
The training for strength and speed would start today!
He was going to become stronger!
Every single day was precious. He had to be in his best condition to welcome the mecha martial arts competition twenty days later.
At 4 a.m., while others were still deeply asleep in their beds, Mu Fan was already running on the slightly damp stone pavement.
Ahead of the apartment complex lay Little Green Mountain, its peaks and valleys layered upon one another. The mountain had dozens of trails with fresh air and beautiful scenery at the peak, but no one would be there at this time.
After running for two kilometers, Mu Fan arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked at the zigzagged path artificially carved into it.
Right now, there wasn’t a single person around.
If you want to succeed, you have to work harder than others.
If you want to be stronger, you have to put in more time and sweat than everyone else!
Mu Fan lightly opened the buttons of his jacket. His training suit and the undershirt inside were neatly folded and placed on a rock nearby, then a small stone was placed on top to keep them down.
Mu Fan, with his upper body now uncovered, finally revealed his perfectly sculpted muscles that almost took one’s breath away! Muscles with just the right texture exemplified the astonishing strength hidden within the young man’s body.
Scars crisscrossed his chest and back, subtly trembling with the boy’s breathing. Instead of detracting from the aesthetic of his muscles, they added a touch of masculine vigor. These were the best proof of Mu Fan’s struggle to survive over the years!
Mu Fan clenched his fists, his gaze smoldering with suppressed flames. He stepped over a few broken stones and logs, standing before a huge, irregularly shaped boulder that was about three meters high.
He bowed his head, his arms spread wide.
Huh~
He suddenly stuck to the rough, moist boulder, feeling the friction between the rock and his shoulders. Mu Fan grinned.
Ah!
His arm muscles bulged, pieces of stone rolled down from above, and the boulder wobbled for a moment.
Then it was vehemently lifted by the comparatively tiny figure!
Thump!
With a forceful heave upward, then swiftly turning his body to face forward, the massive boulder landed heavily behind Mu Fan.
The young man’s silhouette was nearly crushed out of sight, but the stone slowly rose again with the veins in the hands clutching the rock sides bulging.
He had actually hoisted the several-ton boulder onto his back.
His left foot stepped onto the soil-exposed mountain, sinking into it.
Only when his other foot stepped onto another rock, was the embedded left foot pulled out.
Mu Fan’s knees bent slightly.
Huh~
He exhaled, looking at the stony mountain path a few meters away with unwavering conviction, his teeth gritted.
Pursuit of strength was the only thing this boy, who grew up in the wilderness, could do. He just hoped to live well in the future.
The weight of the entire body sent a creaking noise through his bones due to the gravity.
In his, Mu Fan’s dictionary, the words ‘hardship’ and ‘fatigue’ never existed.
From yesterday onwards, an opportunity had presented itself unsuspectingly before him.
To ensure that no one could bully him in the future…
To not let his friends down when they needed him the most…
To keep anyone from easily snatching away his life…
For that dream of walking freely under the stars!
He, Mu Fan—
Must keep getting stronger!
Because, within this galaxy, only the path of the strong knows no end!
With his legs pushed to the limit at this moment, Mu Fan’s teeth were clenched, his eyes fierce as a wolf’s suddenly raised.
His back muscles rippled.
Thump!
Mu Fan, unbelievably…
Leaped off the ground with the huge rock on his back!
Thump!
As his feet hit the ground, he breathed heavily like a bull, and the Earth Tremor roared!
