Finally, Xiao Di could no longer hold on, all the energy in her body went out, and she collapsed to her knees, covered in sweat.
She glanced at the time; it totaled 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 28 seconds.
After a quick mental calculation, I realized that my current total mental energy is 8848...
Xiao Di rolled over and sat cross-legged on the carpet, looking at Jing Yang, who was still standing with his eyes closed. Although he was covered in sweat, his muscles were trembling with exhaustion, and the size of his erection had shrunk considerably, fluctuating slightly in an unstable state... he was still persevering.
2 hours and 28 minutes...
2 hours and 29 minutes...
The timer kept ticking. Jingyang remained focused until he finally couldn't hold on any longer, at which point he let out a sharp breath and knelt down, his limbs aching.
He heard Xiao Di seem to pick up a timer. She said, "Two and a half hours, 150 minutes, Jingyang, you have now recited exactly 9000 breaths."
Jingyang smiled, then plopped down, exhausted, rubbed his aching body, and looked up.
Little Drop, holding the timer, said, "You've completely surpassed me."
"So what if it's too much?" Jingyang said speechlessly, "Where are your clothes?"
When he looked up, he saw Xiao Di sitting cross-legged on the carpet, wearing only a set of underwear, with her other clothes scattered around her.
"Because I'm covered in sweat..." Xiao Di adjusted her shoulder strap.
"...You don't actually want to take this off too, do you?"
Xiao Di just looked at him when she heard this.
Jingyang braced himself against the carpet, stood up, and walked over to pull Xiaodi up as well. "If you're sweaty, go take a shower."
"Oh……"
--------
The next day, February 1st. Jingyang and Xiaodi were preparing to check out of their hotel room, with large bags and small suitcases placed at the door.
Over the past two weeks, Jingyang and Xiaodi have occasionally gone shopping and bought things in their spare time, accumulating quite a bit of money.
“Bulging-eyed fish,” Little Drop conjured a vacuum cleaner with her hand, “suck all our luggage in.”
*Click*, the switch is turned ON.
Chi Chi Chi!
The vacuum cleaner opened its large mouth and sucked up all the large and small bags piled on the ground.
"Let's go." Xiao Di dispersed the vacuum cleaner into a puff of air and retracted it.
Jingyang said, "You still say you're not Doraemon."
"Oh?" A question mark appeared above Little Drop's head.
Jingyang smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll go get the ring, you go to the airport first. We'll meet at the airport."
"Okay." Xiao Di nodded, and the two parted ways at the hotel entrance.
Chapter 55: Why are they all familiar faces?
For the past two weeks, Jingyang and Xiaodi have been staying in different places every few days, generally moving closer to the airport.
I spend most of my time practicing meditation, and occasionally I'll go out for a stroll to relax.
Therefore, the hotel where they just canceled their reservation is located closer to the airport, and not only farther from the shopping mall where Jingyang had his ring made, but also in the opposite direction.
After agreeing to meet Xiao Di at the airport, Jing Yang told her to check on the spaceship tickets first, while he rushed to the mall to pick up the ring.
In terms of speed of action, Jingyang is currently faster.
Moreover, Xiao Di had completely forgotten where that shopping mall was, so she had to check the map again to find its location...
The streets were bustling with traffic and people. Jingyang, dressed in comfortable sportswear, moved through the streets like a gentle breeze. He leaped onto a lamppost, stepped on it, and turned. He stepped on the roadside wall, and because of the huge inertia, he could walk on the wall as if it were flat ground. The pedestrians on the sidewalk below did not notice him at all.
Nen users have a huge advantage over Muggles.
If enhancing one's potential life energy through physical training is a case of being a hundred times more efficient than achieving half the results, then Jingyang's method of directly strengthening Qi and incidentally strengthening the body is a hundred times more efficient than achieving half the results.
While cultivating his mental abilities, Jingyang also focused on physical training, practicing basic movements such as punching, running, and moving, making rapid progress.
Literally, it means making rapid progress in a day.
Although Jingyang hasn't tried it in its entirety, he should be able to lead the entire ultramarathon of the first Hunter Test in the manga, where Gon and Killua were in their year, without breaking a sweat, given his current stamina. Running is just running; even if he ran non-stop for an hour, it probably wouldn't be as tiring as Jingyang maintaining his "firmness" for 10 minutes.
With Jingyang's current strength, he can maintain his "firmness" for a full 150 minutes.
call--
Jingyang, hands in his pockets, followed the route he remembered, wandering through the streets and alleys. When he passed a delicious beverage shop, he even stopped to buy a drink.
"It tastes pretty good." Jing Yang walked through the bustling street, taking out his phone as he drank.
Six and a half minutes. And I've already run more than half the distance. Approximately how many kilometers did I run as the crow flies?
As he was thinking this, he finished his drink and casually and precisely tossed it into a roadside trash can. Just then, he heard a loudspeaker in a video game store he was passing by, seemingly announcing something: "The latest masterpiece from gaming expert Mr. UFO is now available! The exciting and thrilling 'Playful Island'..."
"What island?" Jing Yang turned and entered the video game store.
……
Greed Island is a special game developed and created by Gon's unreliable father, Ging Freecss, along with a group of friends using their Nen abilities.
The game's name, GREED ISLAND, is derived from the first letter of a game creator's name; G stands for gold.
This is a game that only Nen users can enter and play.
Moreover, it was a limited edition of 100 units, and after Jin and his group commissioned a manufacturer to release it on the market, it became a collector's item.
The video game store's shelves were stocked with the latest-packaged game cartridges, and a TV screen was playing promotional videos.
A blond man in a suit is standing in front of a shelf, watching a video of game characters unleashing dazzling skills in a fantastical game world, picking up powerful equipment and items, and even teaming up with others for online PvP...
"What a load of rubbish, this 'Playful Island' is just a knock-off." At this moment, a boy walked up to him, took a closer look at the game cartridge packaging on the shelf and the promotional video on the screen, and then complained that he had been cheated.
Paliston then turned to look.
Jingyang also turned his head to look over.
"Hmm? You look familiar, bro..." Jing Yang scrutinized the man in the suit with messy blond hair.
Paliston then took a closer look at the young man.
Jingyang looked at the blond man dressed in a suit and tie like an office worker, but exuding a decadent air about being laid off and unable to find a job. He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Holy crap, what a coincidence!"
Paliston scrutinized Jingyang with a piercing gaze, then flashed a bright smile: "Little friend, would you like an autograph?"
"With such a sharp tongue, it really must be him." Jing Yang understood. Paliston, after joining the Hunter Association in the future, was exceptionally promoted to vice president by Chairman Netero.
“Since you’re a Nen user, you should know that Greed Island is a game made with Nen,” Paliston said with a smile. “How could it be displayed on a store shelf like this for sale? Any existing Greed Island game console or save cartridge would fetch enough at auction to buy this entire store…”
Jingyang pointed to the shelf and said, "This is the Island of Play. Can't you read? Come and read it with me: 'Greedy, Playful, Island'."
Palston didn't care, or rather, he didn't have time to pay attention to Jingyang at that moment—because just then, someone passing by in the store suddenly pointed at him and shouted, "It really is you! Palston! Hey everyone, come and see, it's Palston! The lawyer in the wife-murder case!"
"That damn lawyer who helped Ozwarsky get acquitted?"
"Attorney! What are you doing here?"
Customers, even the staff and the owner who was snacking behind the counter, all rushed over upon hearing the news. In a short time, many people gathered around to watch Paliston as if he were a rare animal—or rather, they barely managed to suppress their excitement and refrain from punching him on his fake smile.
"How can you defend that scum who murdered his wife!" someone questioned.
"The most crucial thing is that they actually won the debate!" someone said, quite angrily.
Paliston remained unmoved, maintaining his smile, and spoke eloquently to the onlookers, “As a lawyer, what’s wrong with taking money to litigate? I won the case, proving my excellent professional skills. The fact that you’re all so angry and dissatisfied with Ochima’s successful acquittal proves that the problem actually lies with Ochima’s legal process, right? Haha…”
"Besides, I'm no longer a lawyer, because your fellow lawyers in Okima are really not good enough, there's no challenge at all, haha." He answered calmly with a smile, while noticing out of the corner of his eye that the young Nen user seemed to have discovered something in the mirror. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he turned and left the crowd, heading towards the store entrance.
……
Paliston was actually a lawyer, and a lawyer who won a wife-murder case at that! Jing Yang felt a surge of absurdity, yet strangely, it didn't seem out of place at all for this guy. Just as he was internally grumbling, he suddenly saw several figures reflected in a mirror facing the street from the arcade, which only intensified his absurdity…
Jingyang quickly walked out of the store and glanced at the three figures walking in the crowd across the street.
If Paliston was still somewhat difficult to recognize, then the three people walking across the street just now—the woman with messy pink hair tied in a single ponytail, dressed in a smart outfit, as if she had just checked out of a martial arts gym… was undoubtedly Machi from the Phantom Troupe.
Then look at the two people next to her.
One was a short man with long, disheveled hair; his face was completely hidden, and he was probably Korps from the Phantom Troupe.
The other was the height of an average young man, dressed in ordinary casual clothes, with short black hair and a white cloth band tied around his forehead... This was clearly the leader of the Phantom Troupe, Spider's Number 0, Chrollo.
To avoid being noticed by the three experts, Jing Yang only glanced at the ring from across the street. After confirming that he hadn't misread it, he turned around and continued on his way to the mall where he would pick it up.
Not long after, Palliston, his suit wrinkled and smiling, walked out of the arcade with ease, looking thoughtfully in the direction Jingyang had been looking earlier.
He certainly didn't know who Jing Yang was looking at. However, he also used 'Condensation' to discover that three people in the crowd walking away across the street had extraordinary auras—or rather, those three people had no intention of hiding their auras at all. Their rich auras were openly displayed to anyone who could observe auras with 'Condensation', and they walked casually through the city streets.
Paliston hadn't decided what to do next either, so he just followed along.
--------
Cosmo Airport. The three members of the Phantom Troupe followed the bustling crowd into the bright and spacious ticket hall.
“I hate flying in spaceships,” Machi said.
Kuroro said, "We haven't been very lucky. We've been searching for so long on the continents of Ezhen and Nuoamili, but we haven't found any clues to the real Vihugo treasure..."
Kubi said, "Legendary treasures of that level are rarely found. It's even possible that the so-called treasure was just a rumor from the start."
"Can't you hear me?" Machi's forehead creased into a tic-tac-toe shape. "I hate flying in spaceships."
Kubi asked, "If you don't want to buy a ticket with a fake identity, you can just grab one here."
Maggie was speechless. Actually, she had a subtle, uneasy feeling about traveling on a spaceship. But she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
"Someone's watching us," Kuroro said calmly as he walked. "At four o'clock."
"Yes. We've found that too."
Machi and Kubi did not turn around to look. Based on their experience, even without using special abilities, they could intuitively judge the gaze of others who had been staring at them for a long time.
"She's disappeared." Kuroro and the others turned around and, sure enough, in the crowd at four o'clock, there was the back of a black-haired girl in a black sweater. "She might have recognized us."
Kubi said, "It's because Machi's hair color is too eye-catching."
