Fang Cheng and Shijima Gorou also discussed in their chats the potential reasons for their simultaneous hair loss, which is likely related to breaking the body’s limits.
The human body is frail but possesses the most refined self-protection mechanism in the biological world.
Breaking these limits, and thus contradicting natural laws, means suffering backlash; hormonal disarray, producing various negative effects becomes inevitable.
Perhaps hair loss is a minor issue.
In severe cases, like Shijima Gorou, one could go berserk, losing all sense of reason.
Shijima Gorou also especially reminded, although it’s unclear how Fang Cheng trained to this extent, he just hoped he wouldn’t follow his own old path.
"I should be fine..."
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng shook his head and stared intently at the pale blue screen that appeared in front of him.
On the path of growth and strength, the panel was his best mentor and friend, helping him overcome one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after another.
However, having been cautioned, Fang Cheng also decided to elevate the importance of maintaining his body to another level.
He immediately went to the kitchen and began preparing today’s nutritious breakfast.
Ten fried eggs, stir-fried pork with celery, pumpkin porridge, plus two large cups of warm milk.
After eating, he cleaned up the pots and dishes, and it was still early.
Since the training volume was less and the postgraduate entrance exam materials were already familiar to him, he seemed to have nothing to do.
Fang Cheng looked at the greasy stains on the stove and remembered that he hadn’t cleaned the kitchen for many days.
He thus engaged in household cleaning.
In the midst of being busy, the panel suddenly flickered.
A prompt message appeared before his eyes.
It turned out that the "Cleaning" skill, which was close to upgrading, had finally advanced to lv1 with the increase in experience.
Fang Cheng stared at the expert-level enhancement rewards.
But he couldn’t help but exclaim softly.
"Scavenger’s Eye?"
...............
Jiangdong District, Global Elite Fighting Club.
The floor-to-ceiling windows were wet and blurred the scenery of the skyscrapers outside.
Even the plastic floor of the training hall felt somewhat damp.
Weekdays, plus rainy days.
The club was supposed to be relatively quiet, but today it seemed particularly lively.
All department staff were out in force, some setting up the venue, others cleaning.
Some, braving the rain early in the morning, set up a rainbow arch at the entrance of the shopping center and hung a huge poster.
It was just short of beating gongs, setting off firecrackers, to announce to all the city’s people:
The newly crowned KFC golden belt winner, free fight champion, world-class Boxing King, Zheng Haokang, is coming to this club!
A brand new poster of a person was pasted on the background wall.
The man in the photo had handsome features, well-built muscles, and a sharp gaze as if tangible.
The morning courses were temporarily canceled, many club employees gathered in front, chatting excitedly.
Some discussed Zheng Haokang’s glorious record of KO-ing various opponents in the ring.
There were also veteran employees like Chen Xiaohai taking the opportunity to brag, mentioning how they often saw Zheng Haokang training here when he was still a green young lad.
Several department coaches gathered together, whispering, discussing how to profit from this.
Inviting Zheng Haokang to give a coaching lesson was not just as simple as attracting students to sign up for classes.
There would also be many news media and TV reporters coming for filming and interviews.
This was an excellent opportunity to enhance the club’s reputation and increase their performance!
Fang Cheng also stood among the crowd.
His eyes fixed on the poster of the fighting star who was wearing a gold belt and holding up the champion trophy, his expression thoughtful.
"Ah Cheng!"
Suddenly, a call entered his ears.
Turning his head, it was Shen Haoming waving at him.
"Come here for a moment, Manager Li has something to ask you."
Fang Cheng’s brow furrowed slightly and followed Shen Haoming to the office area.
He saw Manager Li rarely coming out of the office, standing in the hallway.
When he turned his head to look at him, his expression seemed a bit anxious and doubtful.
"Fang Cheng, have you seen Mr. Shijima in the past few days?"
Manager Li bluntly asked a question.
Fang Cheng nodded calmly.
"Where has he gone now?"
"Isn’t he in the hospital?"
Fang Cheng was slightly stunned and looked at Manager Li with some surprise.
The club’s higher-ups had already known that Shijima Gorou, the big client, had been injured and hospitalized.
It was just unclear who the "culprit" was.
Manager Li took a deep breath, then stared at Fang Cheng with his eyes and said solemnly:
"Shijima Gorou, he’s gone missing!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng instantly furrowed his brows.
