Under the watchful gaze of Mrs. Song with a satisfied expression, Wang Longhu reluctantly went downstairs.
With this old guy around, it seems I'll never get to exercise on the balcony again.
Facing such elderly people, you can't scold them or hit them. If you go to the neighborhood committee for mediation, it will probably end with nothing resolved.
In this world, the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and pregnant have inherent advantages, and there's no denying that.
"Looks like I need to find a new place to live." Walking out of his home, Wang Longhu looked up at the window which was now closed and sighed.
Suddenly, Wang Longhu thought of his grandmother's house.
Although Dong County is an island, it is divided into urban and rural areas.
Wang Longhu's grandmother's house is located in Changkeng Village, part of the countryside, where the mountains are beautiful, and the ecological environment is highly natural. If you don't mind taking a bus for seven to eight minutes to the urban area, it's a great place to live.
Plus, since his grandmother passed away a few years ago, the old house has been vacant because it's too far from the city.
The available land in the countryside is larger, perfectly meeting Wang Longhu's exercise needs, and no one will bother him.
Anyway, Dong County is small. As long as you're moving around within Dong County, everywhere is less than a ten-minute drive, so there won't be any transportation issues no matter where you live.
"I can consider it." Wang Longhu walked towards the direction of the Yingzhou Zen Temple highway, while thinking about what he would need to prepare in advance if he moved to his grandmother's house.
Changkeng Village is located at the foot of a mountain, the nearby village has convenience stores, restaurants, hardware stores, and appliance stores.
But Wang Longhu's grandmother's house is situated at the mountain's peak in Changkeng Village, also known as Changkeng Peak.
It has been a place for only a dozen or so households over the past twenty years, and now it's estimated only a few elderly people are stubbornly staying there.
Since grandmother passed away years ago, the house needs to resume water and electrical services by paying the bills, which goes without saying, and if he wants to live there, he'll need to bring his own sheets, quilts, pillows, and buy living and kitchen supplies.
It'll cost quite a sum to prepare fully, but compared to Mrs. Song, these problems are really just petty issues.
Upon arriving at the mountain highway, the monk was already standing by the roadside feeding the dogs. Seeing the obedient canine squad, Wang Longhu quickly walked over.
"You're five minutes later than usual today." The monk greeted Wang Longhu with a smile.
"I went to a friend's house for drinks last night and had too much, so I overslept this morning," Wang Longhu explained, then shared the news he heard from a driver yesterday with the monk.
"Dog trader?" After all these days, it's the first time the monk looked serious, "It's really sinful; if you want to do a dog meat business, setting up a plant to raise meat dogs for supply, I can understand, but catching dogs raised by others everywhere is just too unconscionable."
"That's why I'm planning to move to my grandmother's house; that place in Changkeng Peak is so unknown even within Dong County, let alone outsiders. It's quiet and serene. Master, why don't you transfer these dogs there temporarily? I can help take care of them, and it'll be safer."
"Why are you moving away when everything is fine?" the monk asked doubtfully.
Wang Longhu gave a wry smile and explained his situation.
"Oh, it's Mrs. Song from Lingbei. She really knows how to trouble people," upon hearing Wang Longhu's account, the monk suddenly agreed in empathy.
Curious, Wang Longhu asked, "Master, do you know that Mrs. Song?"
"Years ago, when her legs and feet were good, she would come to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, especially on New Year's Eve, to compete for the first incense.
At that time, I saw some of her bad behaviors, and she had conflicts with other devotees. She's quite a troublesome old person, but later, I heard she was getting old and couldn't walk much, so I haven't seen her for some years."
The monk took out a mobile phone from his sleeve: "Letting these dogs stay with you at Changkeng Peak for a while is also good. They're always wandering by the mountain road; one day, they might really get caught by dog traders. Let me add you on WeChat; if you decide to move, let me know, and I'll drive them over."
With sharp eyes, Wang Longhu immediately recognized the monk using an IQOO11, even with a transparent phone case with Dian Wei's original skin.
After adding each other on WeChat, the monk's ID was 'Calm and Peaceful,' and the avatar was still Dian Wei's original skin—such a rural behavior.
Wang Longhu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, do you play King's Glory too?"
The monk casually nodded, "Hmm, I play some games after chanting every day, been playing for over five, six years."
"Then we can team up sometime; I'm pretty good at jungling and can get city rank. Two years ago, I got Dong County's best jungler title."
"Sure," the monk casually replied, "I'm taking devotees to Mount Putuo the day after tomorrow, so please take care of the dogs then; they're very smart and won't disturb the residents."
"Let's do it then; you should start transporting the dogs today since I'm moving over today," Wang Longhu said.
"Alright, I'll contact you at noon. Then I need you to guide the way; I've only heard of Changkeng and have never been there."
"Okay."
After discussing, they quickly ended the conversation, the monk returned to the Zen Temple, and Wang Longhu prepared to continue practicing his punches.
Looking at the newly added monk friend, Wang Longhu curiously opened the WeChat King's Glory leaderboard to see what rank the monk was.
Immediately, the first name on the leaderboard, an unfamiliar ID with 97 stars in Honor of Kings appeared. It was none other than the newly added monk.
"Holy crap!" Wang Longhu was instantly stunned.
Honor of Kings? Even 97 stars! It's a threshold Wang Longhu could never reach in his lifetime.
Upon further checking the game profile, the first thing he noticed was Dian Wei's use with 12111 matches and an 84.5% win rate.
More shocking to Wang Longhu was that the monk's account had Dian Wei as a top national badge, National Server Dian Wei!
"Total games played 12406, with Dian Wei taking 12111 games, not only National Server Dian Wei but a skilled player!" Wang Longhu's expression shifted from shock to embarrassment.
How could there be someone in this world who only plays one hero?
Thinking about how he previously bragged about being Dong County's top jungler to the monk, he felt truly humiliated.
"Forget it, I should focus my energy and attention on martial arts training. My gaming talent is basically a farewell to King's Glory." Wang Longhu put down his phone, blushing as he began practicing Beng Fist.
Perhaps stimulated, today's panel showed more increase in Beng Fist proficiency than usual.
As Wang Longhu descended the mountain, Beng Fist proficiency finally reached 100, successfully advancing to Lv2.
