Reading Comprehension teaches you how to perceive spiritual energy in detail. Social Practice involves being gang-beaten by monsters, letting you experience fighting against multiple enemies and being besieged. Data Research and Analysis is not very useful to Qi Xu, as it mainly teaches you how to sense the remaining health points of monsters or opponents.
Qi Xu already had the Piercing Eyes ability, so she exited this course a mere ten seconds after entering it. She happened to run into Dark Night Fanatic and directly stuffed him inside, fully embracing the principle of never wasting anything.
As for Team Management, the most expensive course, it was truly impressive. First, you could select the star-level difficulty, and then choose the teammates who would fight alongside you to face a variety of fancy challenges.
It trained your big-picture thinking and your ability to command in battle.
Qi Xu binged this course for three consecutive sessions. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't finished her daily mileage, she wouldn't have wanted to leave!
She didn't even have a proper meal all day. The courses in here were just too addicting; they could completely pinpoint your weaknesses and find the most suitable tutoring methods for you.
Calling it a cram school was incredibly fitting!
She left the last twenty minutes for her driving mileage, truly dumping her entire day into this. A single class lasted 180 minutes at most. Qi Xu decided that from now on, whenever she had the time, she would definitely come and take a class every day.
Specifically, she wanted to learn about team combat command. The chances of encountering such situations in the future would definitely increase, so it was never wrong to learn ahead of time.
Of course, the most bewildered person after this whole day... was Monkey Boss.
Just that morning, he had been given an ultimatum by the station supervisor: if he couldn't get any business for seven days, he would be suspended and his shop closed down. Then he would have to find a new job, and if he couldn't, he would become an unemployed monster...
Yet at 9 PM, during the station's daily revenue calculation, his shop suddenly leaped to become the one with the highest sales of the day, even massively surpassing the Monster Shop that had dominated the charts for nearly half a year.
He had received 47 customers in one day and garnered 47 positive reviews. Eleven customers had chosen to make advance deposits. Not to mention his good friend, the scrap collector, there was also a super-rich girl wearing glasses.
After finishing a Team Management class, she directly deposited 100,000 Survival Coins...
Who would have dared to imagine this yesterday? Monkey Boss still felt like he was dreaming. He had completely taken off!
On Qi Xu's side, she was busy calculating her accounts with Lai Cai when she suddenly heard that Monkey Boss's favorability towards her was continuously going +1, +1, +1, +1...
She vaguely guessed that he might have been praised by his superiors. His position as the shop manager was completely secured now, right?
Wealth Comes From All Directions said, Boss, I'll give you 300,000 Survival Coins and 100,000 Energy Stones first.
Qi Xu gasped, giving a Thumbs Up.
Having prepared the gifts she would wear for the Fox Family, Qi Xu tidied up her battle suit a bit.
This was a good item given by Battle Wolf 008, an ancient-style multifunctional battle suit, a sleek outfit with a dark, profound black base.
The fabric looked like silk but wasn't, shimmering with a matte, watery sheen. Yet to the touch, it had a tight, leather-like texture. Swords and blades slashing against it would only leave faint white marks.
Although its defensive effect couldn't compare to the set Qi Xu usually wore before, but... this set looked much cooler.
The collar had an overlapping slanted lapel design, embroidered with hidden cloud patterns using silver thread that only revealed a bit of flowing light when she moved. It retained an antique elegance without being overly complicated. Paired with the fairy-like skill effects of Cherry Illusion, hiss... it was just too perfect for showing off.
Foxes inherently loved exquisite and gorgeous things. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It was rare to visit the Fox Family, so of course, she had to be fully prepared.
After waking up the next day, Qi Xu coiled her hair at the back of her head and secured it with a silver hairpin. She twisted left and right in front of the mirror, turning around in a big circle, and only set off after she finished admiring herself!
Disabling the autopilot system, she slammed on the gas pedal while wearing her fairy-like outfit, enjoying a bit of drag racing. After finishing her daily mileage, she directly clicked on the location Tao Tao had sent her: Fox Immortal Valley.
Tao Tao had also taken a leave of absence today and was waiting at the entrance to welcome Qi Xu.
Seeing Qi Xu arrive, she excitedly bounced and skipped over.
Qi Qi, you're here.
Yeah, thank you for inviting me, and thank you for trusting me.
Qi Xu was very sincere, and spoke from the bottom of her heart. Looking directly into Tao Tao's eyes, she caused Tao Tao's heart to skip a beat once again.
[Monster Shop Main Branch Manager Tao Tao's favorability towards you has increased by one point. Current favorability is 100.]
Tao Tao took out a monster doll and handed it to Qi Xu. I've been wanting to find a chance to give this to you for a while. We've both been very busy lately and haven't seen each other. Qi Qi, I hope that on this highway, all your wishes come true and everything goes smoothly for you. I also hope I can always stay by your side and be your good friend.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining Monster Doll x1]
Qi Xu was a bit surprised. She had guessed that she might obtain Tao Tao's monster doll on this trip, but she didn't expect to receive it right after arriving before even doing anything.
Tao Tao guessed Qi Xu's thoughts and proactively explained, I was going to give it to you sooner or later, regardless of whether you helped our Fox Family find the memory crystal. Giving it to you early is to let you know that our relationship is far more precious than these exchanges of benefits, and sincerity is never a bargaining chip.
Qi Xu couldn't quite articulate the feeling in her heart. Having traveled on this highway for so long, she had grown accustomed to deception and trickery, used to weighing the pros and cons of everything first...
Even when she first interacted with these monsters, she indeed harbored thoughts of taking advantage of them. But Tao Tao's words were like a stone tossed into still water, instantly making Qi Xu understand her genuine feelings.
They say foxes are the most cunning, but whether it was Little Black or Tao Tao, after interacting with them... I really am a terrible person.
Thank you, Tao Tao.
Qi Xu, who had always been eloquent and considered herself the best at dealing with monsters, suddenly didn't know what to say.
Hurry up and put it away. We need to go in. The elders of our Fox Family have all arrived today.
Okay, let's go.
As soon as she entered Fox Immortal Valley, Qi Xu felt a very familiar sensation. Having experienced this familiar feeling so many times, she wasn't surprised at all anymore.
After calmly and naturally making some mental associations, Qi Xu adjusted her state, put her signature smile back on, and walked in.
She had thought she would be going to a very formal occasion...
To her surprise, the clan leader and the elders Tao Tao had mentioned were all farming in front of a thatched cottage. Each fox held a hoe, fiercely smashing it into the ground. This scene truly looked a bit... surreal.
She had thought Fox Immortal Valley would be a beautiful place with mountain springs, woods, and grasslands. She didn't expect it to just be a broken wooden board with the words Fox Immortal Valley written on it.
Upon entering, there were only a few somewhat dilapidated thatched cottages.
Qi Xu suddenly felt her memory becoming a bit confused. The Fox Family controlled the three major giants on the survival highway: the monster shops, the banks, and the auto repair shops. No matter how you looked at it... they shouldn't be considered poor, right?
But this living environment... was truly mediocre. Moreover, the elderly foxes couldn't even retire and still had to carry hoes to farm. Just how old was the delayed retirement age on this survival highway?
