Chapter 293: Chapter 130: Enlightened, No Need to be Effective!
Noon.
Zhang Feng arrived alone in the suburbs of the city.
At a glance, it was actually not much different from everyday life.
People still left school and work as usual and went about finding food.
Only, on the sidewalks, some people were walking and suddenly twisted their waists or swung their legs.
Some others, while riding electric bikes, suddenly thought of something, stopped by the side, and started doing a weird kind of push-up.
Many people were wearing spacious martial arts uniforms, walking and shadowboxing, appearing completely absorbed.
According to a year ago, if people met such individuals on the street, they would probably be scrutinized by many and even have photos taken with amused smiles.
After all, these people’s movements and behaviors were quite strange.
To put it bluntly, it’s like they’re crazy.
Anyway, at a glance, everyone was just ’putting on a show.’
But now, people have gotten used to it.
And when they see these ’lost-in-the-moment Martial Artists,’ they even avoid them to not disturb their ’training state.’
Beep beep—
Meanwhile, a car passed by with a person lying on the roof, gripping the car edge to train grip strength.
"Pull over to the side!"
Just a few seconds later, two traffic officers were chasing after them.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Feng even wondered if he had come to the wrong world.
But on second thought, he seldom went out, and the outside world changed every few days because of him.
So it’s normal for things to become like this?
However, the person using their hands to hold onto the car roof was definitely not allowed, even if the car was going slowly and there were few cars on the outer ring.
This required some education.
Thinking of this.
After the car was pulled over, Zhang Feng also walked a hundred meters forward and came to the scene.
"Name..."
At this time, the two traffic officers were questioning the driver and the ’martial arts youth.’
Nearby, a few people gathered to watch the commotion.
Zhang Feng came over, and although he didn’t look particularly odd, his sunglasses and mask did make him stand out a bit.
"Please show your identification." The traffic officer was very formal.
The martial arts youth handed over his ID card in a rather nonchalant manner.
The traffic officer wasn’t watching him but was checking the martial arts youth’s information while looking at the driver, a young man in his twenties,
"Having a person on the car roof used to be a 3-point penalty, but now too many people are imitating it. A new document was issued the day before yesterday, and our city is the first to implement it—4 points and a fine of 500."
"I was wrong... don’t penalize my friend..." Seeing his friend being fined, the martial arts youth realized his mistake.
The next second, he looked at the crowd around, and even though it might cost him face, his cheeks flushed as he pleaded,
"I have a driver’s license too, Uncle, deduct my points!
My friend couldn’t stand my pestering; it’s really not his fault, it’s mine..."
"You won’t get away either." The traffic officer was very serious and checked the instrument in his hand, which displayed the basic information of the martial arts youth. "You are a professional Martial Artist from the city’s official martial arts school, correct?"
"Yes..." The martial arts youth nodded.
"According to the new regulations..." The traffic officer said, but paused.
Because he wasn’t sure if the youth’s actions counted as obstructing traffic, after all, truthfully speaking, the martial arts youth didn’t pose such a severe threat.
However, with the recent related punishments for Martial Artists, he heard from higher-ups that ’President Zhang wants stricter measures!’
Plus, this is the city of the ’Pioneers,’ the so-called ’Home of Martial Artists’ online.
So, it surely needs to be stricter and demonstrate the civilization of their Martial Artist homeland.
Thus, after thinking for a few seconds, he said solemnly,
"Under the traffic obstruction offense, you will face about a month of ’confinement.’
I will inform your martial arts school and report your information.
The Martial Arts Department will be notified to receive you from our station, and your confinement punishment will be there."
The traffic officer finished speaking.
The martial arts youth was stunned because this seemed more severe than his friend’s 4-point penalty.
Reporting to the Martial Arts Department and school could mean being expelled.
But his friend, caught on the car roof the day before yesterday, only received a verbal warning.
"Uncle..." He was really scared, his legs began to tremble, realizing it was possibly the Martial Artist murder case from a few days ago that led to ’increasingly tight’ control over martial artists now.
He was just unlucky, caught at the wrong moment.
"Isn’t the punishment a bit heavy?" The onlookers also muttered, but didn’t cross the line to interfere with law enforcement activities.
Meanwhile, seeing such a handling result, Zhang Feng felt it was a bit too severe, even a small matter could potentially ruin a Martial Artist’s future.
Besides, Zhang Feng also understood that urban planning was not something he could arbitrarily enforce as "a little stricter."
Passing on such instructions, it became a stranglehold at the lower levels.
Although this could effectively prevent certain things, under high pressure, it might also rebound.
Even the Monkey King caused havoc in the heavenly palace.
He definitely didn’t want to be the Buddha.
Clearly, walking around more today and seeing the real situation was beneficial for fine-tuning and improvement.
"Do not contact the Martial Arts Department just yet." Zhang Feng suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of a dozen people on the scene.
"Hello, please do not interfere with normal law enforcement..." Another traffic officer looked at Zhang Feng, initially intending to ask the ’sunglasses passerby’ to leave without interfering with law enforcement.
Zhang Feng removed his sunglasses and mask.
Then both traffic officers froze, and the onlookers nearby were also stunned.
They all recognized Zhang Feng’s appearance, the face of this era’s pioneer.
In fact, no one didn’t know him.
"President Zhang..."
"I met the pioneer!"
