Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1514 - 728
Previously on Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups...
Past five in the morning, by the side of Yulong Lake.
The sky was still a deep indigo blue.
The lake surface was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, gently stirred by the breeze, like a sheer veil.
The dim streetlights stretched along the ring road around the lake, casting long, slanted shadows of the trees on either side.
Everything was extremely quiet, with only the occasional rumble of trucks passing on the distant national highway breaking the silence.
At this time, a figure was steadily running along the edge of the lake’s shore.
The person’s pace didn’t seem fast, imbued with a carefree lightness.
However, a closer look would reveal that each step brought a distance far exceeding that of a normal person.
The night breeze blowing against him was sliced through by his bare torso, sliding smoothly off the strong shoulder muscles.
From afar, the figure running close to the ground looked like a night owl gliding at low altitude.
Nearing an open lakefront platform, the figure gradually slowed down and eventually stopped at the stone railing by the lake.
"Hoo—"
Fang Cheng opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of warm mist.
Placing his hands on the cool stone railing, he quietly gazed at the mist-like lake water in front of him.
After returning from a vacation on Yong’an Island, he didn’t immediately report to the Special Search Team’s sanatorium but stayed at his old house in Wanghu Town for a two-day break.
Taking advantage of the leisure time, he dealt with several key tasks that had been backing up at the Illuminati.
The headquarters building at Jinshui Fish Market had completed its basic construction, and the pungent smell of building materials in the air had dissipated quite a bit.
Now all that remained was to bring in the office furniture and surveillance equipment.
According to Lin Chuqiao’s plan, everything would be fully set up by next week.
By then, the Illuminati would finally end its fragmented state, stepping out from the underground world into the spotlight with a genuine foothold.
For this, Lin Chuqiao had been so busy planning a low-key opening ceremony that her feet didn’t touch the ground.
The public name would still be "Shunfeng Storage and Logistics Co., Ltd.", which was registered a while ago.
As for the reconstruction of the factory in Dingqiao Industrial Zone, progress was more than halfway through.
The visible warehouse and logistics transfer facilities would be able to operate normally in half a month.
However, the core base hidden in the underground bunker, due to the strict confidentiality agreements and special defense equipment installation, would take some more time to fully complete.
In the past few days, accompanied by Lin Chuqiao, Fang Cheng inspected both bases, solving some financial and logistical issues along the way.
Nowadays, money was no longer a bottleneck for the Illuminati’s development.
What they lacked most were professional talents from various fields.
However, Fang Cheng knew well that recruiting core members couldn’t be rushed; it was better to have none than to have substandard ones, and suitable candidates could only be sought out slowly.
After dealing with the daily chores of the organization, Fang Cheng also shifted his focus back to physical training.
Today’s schedule was as usual.
He got up at four in the morning, did several sets of high-intensity physical training in the forest park by Yulong Lake, then jogged a lap around the ring road.
At this point, the eastern horizon had a tinge of gray-white.
The morning breeze blew over the lake, bringing a slight chill with the moisture.
Fang Cheng straightened his back, his gaze skimming over a few lines of prompt information that popped up, checking the results of this morning’s exercise.
Although the forest park didn’t have professional weight equipment, the experience points gained from practicing skills weren’t much.
Yet the process of reclaiming control over his body, feeling the strength gradually settle and grow in his muscles, still made him feel extremely grounded.
Fang Cheng’s eyes twinkled slightly, his mind shifted, and he switched to the skill interface.

Quietly over more than half a year, this panel records all the skills he currently possesses.
Aside from relatively low levels of life and medical skills, most of the combat and fitness skills have, through daily hard work, stepped into the threshold of the grandmaster level.
Especially the [Boxing] skill, whose proficiency has climbed to the latter half of lv3, approaching lv4 at the king level.
At the current pace, it would only take another month or two to usher in a qualitative change.
However, Fang Cheng’s recent breakthrough target wasn’t focused on combat skills but instead aimed at a few medical and life skills whose progress bar was about to be filled: Bone Setting, Acupoint Stimulation, Cooking Skill, and Concentration.
