Chapter 7: Warrior, Wife.

So …

My mind is a little out of whack too?

Jiang He squashed that thought the moment it popped into his head.

"Why would I think that?"

"I'm a normal person … I'm not sick!"

Putting away his cleaver, Jiang He strode back to Ward 207.

He locked the door from the inside.

Whipping out his phone, he surfed the web and learned more about this world from places like online news, Tieba, and forums, as well as historical development, humanities, technology, and other aspects.

This world was called the Blue Planet.

Jiang He learned that the historical development here was identical to the world he lived in in his' past life '.

The turning point for everything began with the 'natural calamity' forty years ago.

Some scholars and experts believed that the 'natural calamity' was the culprit behind the Revival of Qi on the Blue Planet. Even so, no one knew the cause of the 'natural calamity' until now.

Of course.

There was the possibility that it could not be found online.

"On the first of August 1984, the natural calamity broke out and lasted for three days and three nights."

"After that, the Revival of Qi."

"Flora and fauna began to evolve and mutate."

"On the second of March 1991, the first large-scale Feral Swarm broke out on the Blue Planet. It broke out in Florida on the other side of the ocean, leaving the entire state in ruins and countless civilians dead."

"In the same month, the Feral Swarm swept across various parts of the world, with countless human cities attacked."

"The large-scale Feral Swarm lasted until 1996, when several elites born amongst the human race joined forces to slay nine Feral Kings, giving humanity a chance to catch their breath."

"It was only when various base cities were built that humanity finally gained a foothold amidst the apocalypse and reestablished order."

"After that, the world began to vigorously promote martial arts …"

Jiang He learned that the Great Xia established a specialized military organization in 2000 AD to promote martial arts — the Martial Arts Department (MAD).

At the moment, the MAD was the most powerful military organization in the Great Xia, with branches spread across the various base cities and citadels. While maintaining the safety of the cities, they also managed and restrained the many martial artists, preventing them from committing crimes or killing in the cities.

"The Martial Arts Department (MAD)?"

"I think Old Zhang, Old Li, and Old Wang mentioned it before …"

"Eh?"

"The Martial Arts Department (MAD) is also in charge of assessing martial artists?"

"Once you pass the test, you would receive a martial artist pass from the Martial Arts Department (MAD). Not only would you be granted special privileges, you could also use your pass to accept and issue missions in the MAD."

"Most importantly …"

"After becoming a martial artist, I can get a monthly allowance?"

Jiang He's eyes lit up.

Licking his lips, he said, "I've just arrived in this world and have no family and no money … at least I wouldn't have to worry about my life if I could pass the Martial Arts Department's assessment!"

As the saying goes, a single coin stumps a hero.

He couldn't expect to freeload in a mental hospital for the rest of his life, right?

Hence, he checked the requirements of the Martial Arts Department (MAD)'s martial artist assessment online.

First of all, to participate in the assessment, one had to register.

The registration fee was 500 yuan.

On the other hand, the MAD's assessment was divided into two parts.

The first part was a test of fist strength, explosive speed, and reaction speed.

The second part was the actual combat assessment.

One would only be qualified for the actual combat assessment after passing the first part of the assessment. Only by successfully killing a Feral in the actual combat assessment would one be considered a true martial artist!

The standard for a martial artist's fist strength was 1000kg, while explosive speed was 20m/s, and reaction speed was a passing score of 60.

One would only be considered to have passed the first part of the martial artist assessment after passing all three tests.

Jiang He couldn't help remembering the fat nurse who was specially hired to feed him medicine.

Her arm strength was 1100kg.

Even so, she was not a martial artist.

That meant that her explosive speed and reaction speed were both failing.

"Right now, my strength is 300kg …"

"Strength doesn't equate to fist strength. If you don't know how to exert strength, you wouldn't be able to exert 300kg of force. On the other hand, if you grasp a special technique to exert strength, you might be able to exert twice or thrice the strength."

On the other hand, when it came to 'exerting strength' …It was not something he could figure out blindly.

Jiang He searched around the internet and found some videos explaining it, but he was left confused and clueless.

Martial arts was widespread now.

There were also some basic martial arts cultivation manuals online, but Jiang He could not understand them. Hence, he planned to look for Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi in the brig so that they could give him pointers on cultivation.

Still …

Before Jiang He could put his thoughts into action …There was a knock on his door.

Soon, Chief An's voice could be heard. "Jiang He, it's me. Open the door."

Jiang He assumed that the news about him forcing Feng Shaoyu to write medical advice had spread, and quickly hid his cleaver, the Twenty-Four Rehmannia Pills, and his phone.

Opening the door, he smiled and asked, "Chief An, you're busy with work. Why are you here?"

"Do you think I want to come?"

Chief An said unhappily. "Come with me. Someone wants to see you."

"???"

It was not about Feng Shaoyu?

Jiang He's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Chief An … who wants to see me?

Could it be my friend or relative? "

"Did you really lose your memory, kid?"

Chief An asked. "Where did your relative come from?

As for your friend … it seems that no one has come looking for you since you moved in. Alright, cut the crap and come with me. "

He followed behind Chief An.

Then, Jiang He asked about the brig.

"You want to ask about Old Zhang, Old Li, and Old Wang, don't you?"

Chief An said. "Don't ask too much about them … those three old geezers have been hiding their strength, and I didn't expect that they could injure a grandmaster of the Spirit Bureau. They are now considered dangerous, and no one is allowed to approach them without my permission."

With that, he led Jiang He out of the hospital.

Outside the gate, there was a black limousine parked there.

There were men wearing black suits and sunglasses standing in front and behind the limousine. Each of them had an extraordinary aura, and one could tell at a glance that they were not normal folk.

"Go on. The person who wants to see you is in the car."

Chief An smiled meaningfully and said, "Behave yourself when you get in the car. Don't get beaten up!"

"???"

Jiang He appeared puzzled.

The person in the car was obviously someone important … perhaps someone important. How could a lunatic like him be targeted by someone like that?

Jiang He arrived at the car.

One of the men in a black suit knocked on the window and whispered, "Young Mistress, they're here."

In the next instant …The car door opened.

A clear voice could be heard from inside the car —"Come in."

Confused, Jiang He climbed inside the car.

Then, he saw …

There was a beautiful woman sitting inside the car.

Jiang He could feel that her face was slowly overlapping with a certain face deep in his' memory ', and he asked by reflex, "Wife?"

The woman was dumbstruck.
