CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER 174: SYSTEM UPGRADE_2

Top-tier footwork, distance control, and evasion.

Trust me, a sufficiently formidable MMA fighter definitely starts by learning boxing.

Then they move on to Muay Thai, wrestling, and BJJ, thoroughly mastering all techniques for striking and defense, both standing and on the ground, equipping them to face any unarmed situation.

At that point, a dozen or so petty thugs will seem like nothing more than a plate of fish and chips—annoying, sure, but if you grit your teeth, you can eventually handle them.

I don’t suggest you continue to learn weapon-based combat.

The laws in your country don’t support you fighting with weapons, and in Western countries, a gun is more effective.

Boy, what do you think?"

"Very good."

Han Lie nodded and gave a thumbs up. "Extremely good!"

Michelle was an excellent communicator as a coach. She avoided all the points Han Lie wasn’t interested in, and every sentence she spoke was useful, successfully piquing his interest.

He was sold.

So, Han Lie shelled out for two years’ membership fees of 24,000, private instruction from the boxing champion for 160,000, and two sets of equipment for 18,000, officially starting to learn boxing.

Good grief, even the boxing champion herself was stunned by his extravagance.

So impulsive, huh?

Impulsiveness certainly had its perks.

Han Lie hadn’t just purchased Michelle’s individual coaching but the services of her entire team.

With Aboro’s facilities and team, they were more than capable of meeting Han Lie’s needs for foundational training, multi-dimensional physical enhancement, high-intensity sparring, semi-combat scenarios, and simulations of group attacks, among other specialized training.

It was expensive, indeed, but definitely worth the cost.

After settling this, the experience points were credited, and his attributes could finally be maxed out.

Han Lie was eager to know the requirements to upgrade the system to Level 3, so he took a taxi straight to his hotel room, lay down in the bathtub, and started to allocate points.

Damn... Huh? It didn’t hurt as much as I expected?! Perhaps because my Constitution and Health were already at 79 points, upgrading Strength and Agility only caused a slight throbbing pain. No big deal. Heh, looks like next time I allocate attributes, I should still prioritize Constitution and Health... Er, of course, Special remains the top priority. That won’t change for a hundred years!

The moment his Basic Attributes and Secondary Attributes were all elevated to 79 points, a new prompt popped up on the panel—

[Attributes meet the standard, spending value meets the standard, please raise three knowledge areas and five skills to Level 4]

Ha, the upgrade conditions are this simple?!

Han Lie was over the moon, feeling the upgrade was within reach.

Three Level 4 knowledge areas required 600,000 experience points, and five Level 4 skills required 1,000,000 experience points, totaling 1,600,000.

And Han Lie already possessed three Level 4 skills: Craftsmanship, Writing, and Stock Trading. In reality, this meant he now needed just under one million additional experience points for the remaining upgrades.

Han Lie calculated that upgrading Mathematics, Finance, and Economics to Level 4 would require roughly 520,000 experience points. His two ’divine skills,’ Acting and Bluffing, were already close to leveling up, needing only another 180,000 experience points. This left a total shortfall of 700,000 experience points.

Spending 350,000 cash on a woman would cover this 700,000 EXP gap.

Without a second thought, Han Lie called Wang Tianqing to the hotel.

"You’ve been doing well recently. Thank you for your hard work."

Chairman Wang, with eyes like silk, coquettishly nestled against her patron, "Is that all the praise I get?"

"Do well, and you’ll be rewarded."

The domineering Han Lie swiftly transferred 300,000 Dayang to her, then adopted a thoroughly imposing demeanor.

"Your contract is extended; keep up the good work.

"Plus, although I won’t need you over the holidays, your salary will still be paid.

"I’m advancing you two months’ wages so you can have a nice New Year. How do you plan to thank me?"

Wang Tianqing let out a piercing scream, almost going crazy.

She pounced on Han Lie. "Love you love you love you... MWAH! SLURP!"

She left Han Lie’s face all slobbered with kisses.

What followed is a story best left untold. Sweetie Wang erupted with unprecedented passion, her body temperature seemingly rising by at least three degrees.

She made Han Lie feel absolutely incredible...

Of course, Chairman Wang also paid a steep price; she was nearly ravaged.

With that much added Strength, it was certainly no joke.

Does anyone really think core strength in the lower back and abdomen isn’t useful? Boys, get training!

To cover the final 50,000 cash portion of his spending target for women, Han Lie sent the money directly to Lou Xiaoxiao.

At that moment, Lou Xiaoxiao was playing cards with Ma Ke when she suddenly received a message from Han Lie, "What’s your Alipay account?"

Lou Xiaoxiao replied stealthily from behind Ma Ke’s back, "xiaoxiaobaby520, what’s up, giving me some pocket money?"

Han Lie didn’t reply to her.

In no time, Alipay popped up a notification of incoming funds. Lou Xiaoxiao opened it, full of expectation, only for her eyes to bulge in shock. She was completely flabbergasted.

In a rush, she hid in the bathroom and sent Han Lie three question marks.

"???"

Han Lie replied, "It’s to honor my sister-in-law. Buy a couple of pairs of silk stockings with it, and get Ma Ke some tonic or something..."

PFFT!

Lou Xiaoxiao couldn’t stop laughing, typing away frenetically, sending three messages in succession.

"Darling, time for your medicine?"

"Why are you so naughty~~~"

"Do you like fishnet stockings?"

Han Lie replied, "I didn’t mean that, and I’m not that kind of person. Sister-in-law, you absolutely must not do Ma Ke wrong!"

Lou Xiaoxiao’s heart fluttered, and she quickly sat down on the toilet.

That damn man, such a tease!

After sending that flirtatious message, Han Lie paid her no more attention.

With the experience points secured, it was finally time to upgrade the system.

Following his original plan, he began the upgrade.

First up, Mathematics.

The moment he confirmed, CRACK! Han Lie’s head snapped back against the pillow, his entire consciousness completely overwhelmed.

Level 4 knowledge and skills were professional-grade.

Actually, this categorization was quite vague and not easy to comprehend.
