"I'm sorry, it's precisely because of Louise's presence that I can't do any dangerous work."
After a moment of silence, Luo Hongyun shook his head. His hand that kept stroking Louise's hair subconsciously showed that he was not at peace.
This is a dilemma. If he doesn't work, he won't be able to raise Louise. If he works, he won't be able to take care of Louise. If something unexpected happens to him, Louise will be worried and even left alone.
"No, I think you misunderstood, Uncle Luo. I meant teaching me how to fight. I want to hire you as my fighting teacher. Is that okay?"
Xia Xu looked at him with a smile.
He had never even thought about asking Luo Hongyun to be his bodyguard now, and he had never intended to ask for it from the beginning.
Originally, Luo Hongyun didn't want to engage in a combat career. Now that he has a daughter, he probably just wants to live a peaceful life.
If you want him to do a job as a bodyguard at this time, let alone 45 points of favorability, he may not agree even if you double it, unless it reaches 100 points - assuming 100 points is the maximum value.
However, there should be no problem in just asking Luo Hongyun to be a fighting teacher. After all, it is just teaching and he does not have to do it himself.
If his favorability was a little higher, he would have most likely agreed. Now that he has the financial need to support his baby daughter, it is impossible for him to refuse.
This is his only specialty. Teaching people to fight is much easier than going out to do odd jobs and hard labor, and he can also spend plenty of time with his daughter.
"Just teach fighting?"
Luo Hongyun was obviously moved after hearing this.
"Yes, fighting teacher, monthly salary is 10,000, provided you give me all you know with all your heart and effort."
Xia Xu nodded.
Although self-study is a little slow, you can never have too many skills to protect yourself and save your life.
Knowing that this world is dangerous and that he has to frequently participate in various plots, fighting skills can be said to be something he must learn sooner or later. It is better to rely on himself than on others.
“Isn’t that a bit too much?”
Luo Hongyun hesitated slightly.
Nowadays, various martial arts schools can only earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year at most. If you just want to hire him to teach fighting, there is no need to offer him a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan.
It’s not that he thinks it’s too much, but he doesn’t want to owe anyone a favor.
All debts are easy to repay except debts of favor, which are the hardest to repay. Especially for someone like him whose only specialty is fighting, repaying a debt of favor often requires risking his life or even sacrificing his own life.
"Just think of it as protection money. I believe Uncle Luo has already understood that I live here so that you can take care of it for a while."
Xia Xu was talking, and seeing that Luo Hongyun seemed to be hesitant to speak, he raised his hand to stop him from saying, "Don't worry, if there is any danger, it will be directed at me. I don't want you to protect me, Uncle Luo. I just hope that you can help me if you are sure. If you are not sure, please help me call the police."
Luo Hongyun was silent again: "... I need to know where your danger comes from."
Originally, he didn't mind Xia Xu living next to him, and would basically lend a helping hand if there was any danger.
A skilled person is brave. He just doesn't want to fight anymore, but that doesn't mean he is afraid of danger or fighting.
But now it's different, he is no longer alone.
"I said I actually don't know what it is, do you believe me?"
Xia Xu smiled helplessly and shook his head, then took out his mobile phone and showed it to Luo Hongyun. The page frozen on it was exactly the news bulletin from this morning.
"It couldn't be a stray dog infected with rabies."
Luo Hongyun frowned after just one look, and made the same judgment as Xia Xu, and asked: "Do you think you will be attacked like them?"
"Yes, it's hard to say the exact reason, but the probability of me being attacked is probably much higher than that of others, and I suspect that this is probably not a normal creature."
At this point, Xia Xu paused and asked, "Uncle Luo, you should be a retired special forces soldier, right? Have you ever encountered a similar situation? Or other creatures that are beyond the norm?"
Luo Hongyun is a military king after all, and perhaps he can access a much higher level than him, so he wants to take the opportunity to gather some intelligence to confirm what the situation in this world is.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Luo Hongyun just shook his head and said, "I haven't encountered it either. I have heard that there have been some special situations in some war-torn areas in the past two years, but they are just rumors. I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
"What special circumstances?"
Xia Xu asked persistently.
Luo Hongyun said seriously: "It is said that there are people who can match me in close combat."
"?"
Xia Xu repeatedly looked at the somewhat puzzled expression on Luo Hongyun's face, and finally confirmed that he was not telling a joke.
It seemed that in his opinion, it was natural that no one could match him in close combat, and it would be unbelievable if there was anyone who could.
But through the contact over the past two days, he could fully feel that Luo Hongyun was not a rebellious person.
"Uncle Luo, are you an ordinary person?"
Xia Xu hesitated and looked Luo Hongyun up and down again.
"If I am not a human, what else can I be?"
Luo Hongyun sneered.
Xia Xu explained and added: "I'm talking about ordinary people. Have you ever practiced any martial arts secrets or taken any special medicines?"
"Read less martial arts novels."
Luo Hongyun thought Xia Xu was just trying to be lazy and learn quickly, so he laughed and said, "Do you really think there is any martial arts internal force in reality that can be cultivated by meditating, or quickly improved by taking elixirs
If you want to learn martial arts, abandon these unrealistic fantasies and just train honestly and supplement your nutrition."
"No, I just... have a new understanding of how powerful you are, Uncle Luo."
Xia Xu said seriously.
He did have a new understanding of Luo Hongyun's strength. This five-star talent, especially the double five-star talent in both weapon fighting and combat, was probably far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Anyone who is not rebellious or arrogant will subconsciously think that it is incredible to have an opponent who can match him. How strong is the strength and how many victories does it take to build such confidence
The reason he asked just now whether Luo Hongyun was an ordinary person was because he guessed that Luo Hongyun might have practiced some martial arts secrets, Chinese martial arts, or taken some drugs, or undergone some black technology transformation, which made him far beyond the scope of normal humans. Therefore, he felt incredible that someone could match him.
But now it seems that this is not the case. There is only one possibility. Luo Hongyun may have never encountered a failure in close combat and even showed a crushing gap from beginning to end. Countless victories have forged his absolute confidence in his subconscious.
This is very terrifying. For such a situation to happen, not to mention that he is invincible in the world in close combat, he must be the best in the country at least.
Perhaps in this modern technological society, what matters more is the power of weapons and equipment, and what is needed more is teamwork and numerical advantage, but it is undeniable that this is also an unparalleled achievement.
Moreover... in this Xiaguo city, he is probably invincible.
