green olive street

A small cold drink shop at the entrance of the street.

"Old sir, what are you doing?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper, who was wearing an old-fashioned floral skirt and already had fine wrinkles on his face, brought over the prepared iced orange juice and placed it on the table in front of He Ao.

At this moment, He Ao was sitting on the sofa behind the table, while Jia Qian was standing in front of the table, half-squatting, slightly bending her knees, slowly raising her hands, her little eyes slightly squinting, as if she was feeling something.

"Teach children some fitness skills,"

He Ao said with a smile.

"This little guy has to learn this at such a young age?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Jia Qian in surprise, and then she seemed to remember something and sighed, "But in this day and age, it's good to learn some of these things."

Then she looked back at He Ao, handed the orange juice in her hand to He Ao, and asked with some confusion, "Mr., are you planning to enter the Green Olive District?"

"I want to find someone in there," He Ao took the orange juice from her hand and put it on the table, "Thank you."

"Do you have friends living here?"

The shop owner glanced at He Ao's neat formal suit, then looked back at the almost completely dark road outside the shop door, as well as the dilapidated buildings with shimmering lights standing on both sides of the road.

The clothes of He Ao and Jia Qian were incompatible with this dilapidated and chaotic place.

"No, I just came here to find someone."

He Ao shook his head.

"Old sir,"

The shopkeeper glanced at He Ao, hesitated, and continued,

"Don't blame me for talking too much. The entire city of St. John knows that the Green Olive neighborhood is the messiest and the poorest. To put it bluntly, it is a slum. The stores at the door like ours are better, and at least they can do business with the outside world, but this does not represent this neighborhood.

Case."

She paused and said, "The formal dress you are wearing looks expensive. After entering, you will inevitably encounter some extra troubles. Your accent should be from our local area. You should know that this neighborhood is the entire St. John's."

The only place in the city where the street sweeper comes twice a day,”

She looked back at the deep darkness again, like a street crawling with dark monsters, and then looked back at He Ao, "If there is nothing particularly important, I still recommend that you go back and don't continue in.

Already."

“Are there many people missing around the block lately?”

He Ao asked curiously.

"Many people go missing every day in the Green Olive neighborhood,"

The shopkeeper glanced at He Ao and knew that He Ao was not so easy to listen to. She sighed, "Different places have different rules. If you really want to go in, don't be surprised if something happens. It's best to go in there."

Take some cash from the bank outside and then go in.

"If someone from a gang asks you for protection money, just give it to him directly. They may ask for an exorbitant price, but the general first-time payment is one hundred and twenty federal dollars.

"If you pay this price, they will know that you understand the rules and will not make things difficult for you. If you successfully pass this test, then you are probably safe in the neighborhood."

"Do the people in this neighborhood earn more than one hundred and twenty federal dollars per week?"

He Ao asked softly.

The shop owner didn't seem to expect that He Ao would ask this question. She shook her head, "Except for gang members, almost none."

She sighed, "This is a slum, and most people have trouble even having enough to eat."

Speaking of this, she glanced at He Ao again and said, "Old sir, this dress on you is still a bit too 'gorgeous'."

Her words were hinting to He Ao that this formal suit might still cause unnecessary trouble to He Ao.

"Thanks,"

He Ao nodded slightly and did not go into depth on this issue. Instead, he asked, "How many gangs are there in this neighborhood? Do the leaders of those gangs live in this neighborhood?"

"Now the neighborhood is basically controlled by the largest gang, the Scorpion Gang,"

The shop owner thought for a moment and replied, "They control more than 70% of the area in the neighborhood. The rule of one hundred and twenty federal coins was set by the Scorpion Gang. I heard that although the boss of the Scorpion Gang is elsewhere,

Even though we have bought a villa, he still likes to live in the Green Olive neighborhood, but I don’t know the specific location of this boss.”

"I understand, please."

He Ao nodded in thanks.

"What's the trouble?" The shopkeeper shook her head and sighed, "It would be best if you don't go in."

She put away the tray that had just been filled with iced orange juice, and walked back to the counter of the store with her body hunched.

He Ao withdrew his eyes from the shop owner and looked at Jia Qian, who was still slowly posing in front of him, "How do you feel?"

"I seem to be able to feel it a little bit,"

Jia Qian opened her little eyes, looked at He Ao, and shook her head, "But they are not obedient."

"As long as you can feel it a little,"

He Ao stood up, raised his hands to the left, and made a palm-up gesture, "Come on, maintain this feeling, and do it with grandpa."

"good!"

Jia Qian nodded and made the same gesture as He Ao.

He Ao opened his spiritual consciousness and looked at his granddaughter.

Lines of subtle energy flowed through Jia Qian's small body.

"Come on, raise your hand and turn to the right."

Along with He Ao's slow voice, Jia Qian's movements also followed He Ao's movements to the right.

"Stop, maintain this action, and raise your arms a little higher."

While she was doing the movements, He Ao was also monitoring the flow of energy in her body. When the energy flow was unstable, he would guide his granddaughter to change her posture.

Then he would ask Jia Qian to repeat this action five or six times until Jia Qian completely mastered the correct action.

As time passed by, He Ao continued to teach his granddaughter new moves. These moves were created by him after he disassembled the boxing techniques of Alifia in the main world and mastered the basic principles.

Boxing.

This set of boxing techniques also contains some of Ridgit’s insights from when he first practiced physical training, as well as some of Ridgit’s fighting insights.

But in fact, this boxing method is not perfect yet, and there are still many details that cannot be integrated.

A set of holistic and logical practice methods is universal. It cannot only allow one or two people to use this method to practice, but allows everyone to use this method to practice, from the special to the universal.

However, He Ao's current boxing style has not yet gone through this step from special to universal. Many of his techniques are very effective if he uses them by himself, but if it were another person, they might be just showing off.

Of course, this boxing technique cannot be spread and practiced on a large scale. In the case of He Ao one-on-one, it will have another ending.

Because He Ao can adjust the subtle movements of the learner through his spiritual consciousness, so that this boxing method can completely adapt to the learner's body. In fact, based on this boxing method, he has customized a set for the learner that belongs to the learner.

An improved version of the boxing technique.

And this kind of tailor-made version, the speed of learning progress is completely unmatched by the universal popular version.

It took almost just over an hour for Jia Qian to master the method of mobilizing energy in the body.

Although the amount of mobilization is not large and the process is a little slow, she has indeed taken the first step.

In such a short period of time, He Ao was not going to teach her any deeper fighting routines. Instead, he simply taught her a few moves and made her familiar with this method of mobilizing energy.

To be precise, mobilizing energy is the core of He Ao's boxing technique.

In the process of mobilizing energy, Jia Qian can also become familiar with the rules and methods of energy operation in the body as quickly as possible. This is consolidating her foundation.

When she is familiar with the body to a certain extent, lays the foundation, and then learns the routines, she will basically get twice the result with half the effort.

Next, He Ao spent almost two hours making Jia Qian completely familiar with the energy mobilization method.

At this time, the shop owner also packed up his things and prepared to close the shop.

"Business here doesn't seem to be going well?"

The two glasses of iced orange juice had been finished long ago. He Ao finally bought two ice creams. This time it was Jia Qian's choice again, one strawberry and one vanilla.

During the few hours that He Ao taught Jia Qian martial arts, no other guests came to visit except He Ao.

"People living in the Green Olive neighborhood rarely buy this kind of cold drink," the shop owner smiled gently, "and my shop is located at the entrance of the Green Olive neighborhood. People from nearby neighborhoods go around the street when they see it.

If you keep walking, you will naturally not come to my place."

"Auntie, then you can't make money?"

Jia Qian's hands were on the bar, and her little head, which was only slightly higher than the bar, stared at the shopkeeper with some confusion.

"yes,"

The shop owner smiled and handed the two prepared ice creams to Jia Qian, "I used to do some odd jobs to barely support this shop, but it's hard to find odd jobs recently."

"How many years have you been operating here?"
