Yang Yi returned to Pearl Liang Restaurant with Wang Wen Jiang at six o'clock in the evening.

Danny had changed back into his restaurant manager outfit. He gave a professional smile when he saw the two of them. However, he didn't say anything to Yang Yi

Yang Yi and Wang Wen Jiang found themselves at a table for two. Wang Wen Jiang casually said, "What do you want to eat for dinner? You are not building muscle, so you don't have to control your diet. However, you should minimize eating unhealthy food. By the way, you are paying."

Yang Yi asked in surprise, "Ah! I have to pay?"

"Of course. The captain is the manager here. He is not the restaurant's owner. Moreover, you should pay even if he is the owner. Is free-loading sensible? What do you think?"

Yang Yi sighed. He replied in a depressed tone, "Anything will do. I will just eat whatever you plan to eat. Right now, I just want to quickly get some rest."

Wang Wen Jiang immediately ordered four dishes and one soup. Frankly speaking, the food at Pearl Liang Restaurant was very good. Though it was England, the taste was absolutely authentic. Yang Yi ended up eating five bowls of rice as a result.

Danny finally found the opportunity to sit down with the both of them when Yang Yi was almost done eating. He then asked while grinning, "How do you feel about the first day?"

Yang Yi feebly said, "It's still passable. I just can't seem to lift my arms. If there is nothing else, I will go up first to take a bath and then sleep."

Wang Wen Jiang was shaking his head on his side and solemnly said, "Not good. It's really not good."

Danny ignored Yang Yi and asked with interest, "How is it not good?"

"He can't endure any hardship. Arm and leg training also failed. He is also squeamish. He truly can't endure anything. Moreover…"

Wang Wen Jiang paused momentarily and frowned, "There is a shortcoming too. I'm not sure whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

"I will listen to what you have to say."

Danny's curiosity was roused. He was very interested to hear about the thing Wang Wen Jiang could not ascertain.

Wang Wen Jiang frowned, "He has a very good memory. I thought smart people were good at studying because of their brain. It never occured to me that even his ability to retain physical movements and his muscle memory is outrageous as well. I only need to say it once and he will remember it and he gets the key point in a single attempt. Even key techniques which involve complicated movements, he only needed three attempts at most to execute it to standard."

Danny replied in surprise, "This is a good thing! He is a genius. A genius shouldn't be that inflexible, right?"

Yang Yi feebly said, "I have mentioned this. I have told you many times I am a genius but you didn't believe me."

Wang Wen Jiang hurriedly replied, "But it was not the same with this little egg…"

"Little egg?"

"That's the nickname Ah Meng gave him. Where is little egg falling short? Let's put it this way, I taught him some fundamental moves in mixed martial arts. For example, straight punches, hooks, jabs, side kicks and also how to handle the most common scenario, he learns it immediately and his maneuvers are up to standard.

Danny was perplexed and said, "That's very good, as well."

Wang Wen Jiang responded with a frown, "Anyhow, when I made a jab at him, he should either retreat backward or avoid by moving sideways and then make a counterattack right? Instead, he would only use whatever routine I had already taught him. He knows how to fight back when I jab towards his head. However after I changed the approach slightly, he still used the same routine I taught him previously to fight back. This isn't right!"

Yang Yi lazily said, "Hai, to put it plainly I lack adaptability. I don't know how to be flexible. I just memorized it mindlessly without learning how to apply it versatilely."

Wang Wen Jiang smacked his hand, "Right, that's it!"

Danny laughed, "Oh, I was wondering what it was. So, it was only this. He has only just started training and lacks experience. He will naturally improve with more training."

Yang Yi fervently said, "That was my line of thought exactly."

Wang Wen Jiang shook his head, "That's not true. Isn't that exactly what I did when we first started? Captain… he is actually too smart. He is too smart for his own good. I believe the main factor is that he doesn't have enough motivation. When I was still in the army…"

Danny scowled at Wang Wen Jiang once. Wang Wen Jiang immediately changed what he was about to say, "I wasn't able to remember everything when I trained in the past. The instructor had to teach it to me many times before I comprehend it. However, I had to stake my life while training. There was a sense of urgency because I wanted to defeat everyone. He, Little Egg, on the other hand lacks this drive. At the very least, he needs to have the drive to stake his life."

Danny looked at Yang Yi. Yang Yi reluctantly said, "I do have a sense of urgency. There are people out there trying to kill me. Moreover, I wholeheartedly want to learn this. How is it something that can be easily resolved?"

Wang Wen Jiang continued to shake his head, "You are missing the element of staking your life. Your efforts need that drive."

Danny sighed, "It was caused by his environment. Little Egg used to live a carefree and easygoing life. How could he have the mindset of staking his life?"

Yang Yi thought about what Danny said and was in agreement. Besides losing his parents when he was still a child, he had indeed grown up in a carefree environment. Although it didn't turn him into a lazy person, it had also caused him not to maintain heightened awareness at all times."

Although Yang Yi was currently being pursued by the Destroyers, there was no way for him to imitate Danny and his group who had risen up by killing their way through a mountain of corpses. His temperament had long been formed as a result of his living environment. There was no way he could quickly change it within a short period of time.

There was nothing Yang Yi could have done. He never could have known he would embark on a path of vengeance. Though he was working hard to become a spy, hard work alone was not sufficient. He would need to have the ability to predict the future. Though his circumstances had changed, he was still only a smart person. He wasn't a deity.

Danny saw Yang Yi's dejected look. After some contemplation, he finally said, "Little Egg, what price are you willing to pay so you can become a qualified spy who can deal with the elite of the underworld?"

With a sigh, Yang Yi resolutely looked at Danny and said, "I gave up a calm life and a bright future for this. I have given up everything! Besides my life, I'm willing to give up everything else. It's not that I fear death, but I can't die yet. Therefore, I 'm willing to pay any price as long as I don't die!"

Danny thought about what Yang Yi said for a moment before nodding, "I understand now. I will give some thought to how to make you grow quickly. You should go back and rest now since you don't have any more business here."

Yang Yi stood up. After giving it some thought, he earnestly said to Danny and Wang Wen Jiang, "You don't have to consider my feelings and you don't need to worry about me. As long as I don't die, you can give me the most intense training! I have come to terms with it already and I also have the determination to do it!"

Wang Wen Jiang nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that you this kind of mindset. This determination will guarantee your training will succeed."

Danny laughed, "Sure. I understand. You can go up now."

Yang Yi didn't move. With a happy expression, he said, "There is a point I want to raise. Can you not call me Little Egg in the future? It's just too appalling."

Danny smiled mockingly while waving his hand, "You won't be able to escape this nickname before you can defeat them. You should go up now, Little Egg. But make sure you settle the bill first before you do so."
