Section 17: Growth
Jiang Yu felt that she had grown.
He felt that he was no longer a big boy in an ivory tower – he was a man, and men should have their own responsibilities.
For example...... Get up from this bed.
Well, it can't be done.
It's not the body that's tired, it's the mind. Fighting a flawless opponent on a battlefield that has never been experienced before requires a lot of physical and mental strength. In the former, he could lean against the wall and go to the Lord God for healing, while the latter ...... He felt that it was better for him to keep the memory.
Because it has commemorative value - it witnesses an important point in his life. It's very important, and it's as beautiful as a dream.
He thought, and there was a soft, familiar fragrance in the air. Stretch your limbs without any physical obstacles. Obviously, in this ...... I don't know if it's the lazy pig in the morning or at night, of course it's just him.
(My experience is still insufficient...... Well, don't kid yourself, that's the first time. I don't have more experience than romantic fantasies. )
(…… You have to get up. )
Breathe softly and silently. A few memories of yesterday flow silently in my mind.
The basic part of the Ultimate Immeasurable Divine Skill had already been completely mastered by him. And the way to master it is self-explanatory. When Kasumi's true qi circulated in his body, he gradually generated long-term memories in that synchronized cycle again and again. And when his body has also completed the etching of the practice route, the nature of the exchange of qigong will also change.
The air flow flows in the lungs, and the internal force operates in the meridians—even the most basic part is enough to cause Jiang Yu's internal force nature to change significantly. He lifted one finger, and at the end of his fingertip there was a surge of electricity that pierced through the air. All the attributeless internal force in his body had already been transformed into Thunder True Qi. And this superpower, which can shape the electric current freely, is the basis for the rotation of the magnetic field.
Current pushes.
Manipulating electricity, using electricity, dominating electricity.
It's like a superpower-like technique, not a traditional martial arts skill that requires a variety of moves and techniques. And this is exactly what Jiang Yu needs.
He has studied martial arts, but this does not mean that he admires martial arts much. Martial arts were just a tool for him, and now this tool has fulfilled part of his basic purpose. As soon as the subsequent exchange was completed, the power framework he planned could be regarded as laying a solid foundation.
(Martial arts are useful, I'm not arrogant enough to declare punches and kicks useless.) )
(At this stage, though, tools are more reliable than punches and kicks.) )
The current on the fingertips quietly extinguished. Jiang Yu felt the gaze, and he saw Xia, dressed in home clothes, walking towards him with a plate of light snacks. The long pink hair that had been scattered before was tied up in a simple shape on one shoulder.
"Kasumi." Jiang Yu gained strength, and the electric currents circulating through his fingertips spread throughout his body, allowing his muscles to be reactivated by the stimulation of microcurrents. So that he can get out of bed smoothly.
Kasumi placed the dinner plate on the table next to him and came over to change his clothes.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you up, Captain......" The pink-haired girl looked at him tenderly, as if just looking at him could erase all the sleepiness and fatigue in her body.
"Call me Ayu." Jiang Yu felt that he had completely changed from the position of the old cleaner.
"Hmm...... Ayu. The girl's body and mind expressed joy, and she was indeed glad at the change in the name that was noticeably more intimate. A gentle smile.
Gentle, tranquil. When she lowered her head to tie Jiang Yu's buttons, the side neck was white and slender. When Jiang Yu saw it, a kind of spontaneous protection and pity also filled his heart.
She's good—extraordinarily good. Letting her come to her side is undoubtedly the most correct decision she has made so far in this infinite journey. Perhaps, the words 'so far' could be deleted.
So—
(She's mine, and I have to watch over her.) )
(Even if I need her to fight with me now, when I'm strong enough.) I'm going to give her a ...... that's safe enough. No, it's a place where she can be happy and happy. )
The emotions of protection and pity merge and eventually shape something called 'responsibility'. It pressed against Jiang Yu's shoulder, but it didn't make him bend his back, but made him puff up his chest.
Responsibility is never a burden, because the responsibility to bear voluntarily will only make people stronger—Jiang Yu had seen this sentence from a book a long time ago. However, it was only at this moment that he was able to understand it exactly.
The last button is fastened, and the mental state is adjusted to the best.
"Kasumi." He whispered in the girl's ear. He could feel the slight hot touch of the tips of the girl's ears. "There's still a little time to practice with me and teach me how to fight—I want to smoothly mobilize the thunder and lightning energy in my body and turn them into ready-to-use surge skills in battle."
He was full of confidence, but Kasumi's reaction was slightly unexpected. Because Kasumi just took a step back lightly, and didn't answer him at the first time.
"But...... Ayu, did you just wake up and eat something? —she looked at the delicate treats, which had probably taken Kasumi a long time to prepare. And this subtle and cute careful thinking made Jiang even more excited, and the whole person became confident and high-spirited.
So, Jiang Yu took a deep breath. In addition to the aroma of dim sum, it also compounded the girlish fragrance of Xia.
"I'm full of energy now." Jiang Yu felt that he could kill two cows with one punch at this moment...... Two!
However, Kasumi only looked at him with a little surprise and more helplessness.
"But...... Ayu, if you don't eat something, just train with me, and you want to master the surge technique quickly......" She tried hard to think of a more appropriate word. “…… I think, Ayu, it's better for you to change into a more dirt-resistant clothes. ”
"Ga ——?"
………………………………
Dozens of minutes later-
When Jiang Yu dressed up for the third time and finally walked out of his personal room. Zhang Jie and Zhan Lan were already waiting under the big ball of light under the main divine light stadium - they had formed a large round table, chatting while nibbling on snacks. Zhang Jie's classical beauty did not appear in the square, and it was obvious that his wariness of the newcomers had not been completely erased.
He seemed to be stunned when he saw Jiang Yu and Xia, and it was obvious that he could see the strengthening marks on the two of them at a glance. Sensing the power of the two of them, he covered up the truth he was aware of, and just stood up and said hello, laughing.
"Aha, Zhan Lan and I are both guessing which of you will come out first-I guess it's you, and she guesses it's Zheng Zha. Now it seems that I am lucky. His smile was bold and hearty, and it was noticeably different from when he was in the hive.
"What do you call this one? And Brother Jiang Yu, I feel like you've become a lot more powerful. ”
There was temptation in his words. Zhan Lan, who was unaware of the situation, also stood up to greet him.
And Jiang Yu gave a straightforward answer.
"This is Kasumi, my lover and our companion...... And I took the time to study the exchange system of the main god yesterday and summed up a few things. Sorry, I used some side stories and bonus points in a hurry. I'll share my findings with you later. ”
Jiang Yu didn't hide it, and bowed his head towards Zhang Jie - and this made Zhang Jie unable to fix it. He waved his hand to avoid the faint expression of apology. Use some nonsense to cope.
"What's there to apologize for, I haven't used the side plot or anything - it's your freedom to use your stuff however you want. And I just said it in passing......"
"But we're a team, aren't we?" Jiang Yu sat down at a table at the round table. Kasumi stood quietly beside him until he tugged at his sleeve and sat her down.
"The Lord God has brought us together, and we are then destined to act together—together we are to go to the next world, the next world, and many more worlds. And this means that helping each other is essential for our subsequent survival. It's just a mess, and I think we're going to get into trouble very quickly. ”
His tone was sincere and his actions were enthusiastic. Because he really thinks so, and he's going to do it.
And Zhan Lan on the side nodded again and again, obviously thinking the same way-although this little woman didn't take any practical risks in the last game. But compared to her past life, this novel experience was indeed too heavy.
"That makes sense, Brother Zhang Jie." She chimed in. "Jiang Yu is right, we are a team. The next step is to work together to get through the ensuing difficulties...... Seriously, I am terrified now at the thought of my next adventure in nine days. I can't sleep well when I stay in my room alone. ”
She's not very ladylike...... So it's clear that she's trying to get closer to Kasumi. Maybe it's because as a person with spiritual potential, she vaguely feels the power of Xia. Of course, it may also be a woman's unique group habit.
However, it is a pity that Kasumi did not answer her words. Just smiled politely.
(No way, Kasumi's personality is to be a loner.) Even in the game, she only showed her loyalty and trust to me as the captain. It is too difficult for other people to get in touch with her. )
In Jiang Yu's heart, thoughts turned.
And Zhang Jie seemed to be moved by his words. He was about to say something when a strange noise interrupted him.
Mu just woke up.
And what is a little faster than Mu Gang is to walk out of his personal space quickly. Zheng Zhe, who rushed to the main god's ball of light and questioned loudly.
"Tell me! Lord God, is she real or not! Why is she exactly the same as I remember her! Why doesn't Luo Li know anything? Lord God! Give me an answer! ”
