Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"Don't go too far. If you miss breakfast, you won't have anything to eat today. I won't make you anything special again."

"understood."

Ron left the house.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

The cool morning breeze carries a hint of the sea's saltiness, which effectively dispels drowsiness.

Ron went into the woods and did some warm-up exercises.

"it is good!"

After he finished warming up, he started jogging in the woods.

Harris returned carrying firewood and, seeing him running, was somewhat surprised: "Ron?"

Good morning, Dad.

Ron said this as he ran past him.

Harris watched his retreating figure, scratching his head: "What's wrong with that kid?"

Ron ran ten laps in a row, taking about two hours before stopping. He was covered in sweat, but his young face was full of joy.

"This physical enhancement has greatly improved my physique. I used to be so afraid that I couldn't even run one lap, but now I can run ten laps continuously."

Ron clenched his fist, thinking to himself, "Although my body is still that of an eight-year-old child, my stamina and strength are probably even greater than before I transmigrated..."

"System, show me my current attributes."

【Yes. 】

A property panel that only he could see appeared in front of Ron's eyes.

【Host, Ron】

Age: Eight years old.

Qi and blood value: 18.

Sun Breathing Technique Mastery Level: 0% (Not Mastered)

"Qi and Blood Value 18... System, what does this Qi and Blood Value mean? What is it used for? Does a high Qi and Blood Value mean I'm more powerful?"

Ron asked curiously.

[Replying to the host, the level of Qi and Blood only represents the strength of one's physical constitution and Qi and Blood; it cannot determine one's overall strength.]

"Oh... I see. It's like a person's basic attributes. Although they are important, they cannot directly represent the level of strength."

Ron understood immediately.

"What level would a Qi and Blood value of 18 be in this world?"

[Back to host, in this world, a normal eight-year-old boy with adequate nutrition can reach a blood and qi value of 10.]

A normal adult male can have a blood and qi value of 30 points.

The robust young man the host encountered earlier had a Qi and Blood value of 50 points.

"My father is indeed stronger than the average person."

Ron nodded.

"By the way. You said before that I have a weak constitution and insufficient qi and blood to practice the daily breathing method. How much qi and blood do I need to have?"

Ron asked curiously.

The minimum required Qi and Blood value is 30 points.

"30 points..."

Ron nodded slightly.

His goal is now clear.

The first step to becoming stronger is to improve your physical fitness and raise your Qi and Blood value to 30 points!

After exercising for a while, Ron's stomach started growling, and he realized what was happening and hurriedly ran back.

He ran back to the mountain hut, but it was long past breakfast time. As Mary had said, she hadn't left him any food.

"Sigh, food is a problem too."

Ron left the house with his head down and his belly in his hand.

"Ron."

Mars's voice made Ron look up.

"Where did you go so early in the morning? I've been looking for you for ages."

Mars looked at him and asked.

"I……"

Before Ron could answer, Mars took out half a loaf of black bread from his pocket and handed it to Ron.

"for you."

"Eh?"

Ron was taken aback.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I specially saved this for you, go ahead and eat."

The blond boy with freckles grinned at him, revealing a missing tooth: "Just remember to pay me back next time."

"Mars..."

Ron was somewhat touched.

He took the bread without hesitation and swallowed it in two or three bites.

Mars looked at him and asked, "Where are we going today? To the beach again?"

Ron shook his head.

"I want to exercise."

"exercise?"

Mars tilted his head.

"Yes, do you want to come along?"

…………

At noon, the sun was scorching.

In the mountains and forests.

"Seventy-three, seventy-four, seventy-five..."

A dark-haired boy is doing push-ups, sweating profusely.

The blond boy next to him was lying on the grass in a spread-eagle position, covered in sweat, so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms.

"Ron, is this what training is like? It's so tiring, I feel like my throat is on fire."

The blond boy, Mars, gasped for breath with his mouth open.

"Will this really make me as amazing as Dad?"

"Seventy-nine, eighty, eighty-one..."

"Hey, Ron, are you listening to me?"

"Eighty-five, eighty-six... ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred."

Ron's supporting arms suddenly loosened, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

After a while, he finally turned over and lay on his back.

Gazing at the sunlight shimmering through the leaves, Ron said softly:

"Mars."

"Ah."

Mars closed his eyes, feeling sleepy after exercising. He was already too tired to stay awake any longer and was about to fall asleep.

What do you want to do in the future?

"I don't know about the future... I haven't thought about it."

"This island is small, but the sea is vast."

Ron raised his hand, as if to grasp the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to become stronger, then leave this island. I'm going to travel to every corner of this vast ocean, eat all the delicious food, drink all the fine wine, and see all the beautiful scenery."

The sound of Mars snoring could be heard from the side.

Ron glanced at him, then looked up, a bright smile spreading across his sweat-covered face.

"I will not become a pirate, nor will I become a marine."
