Chapter 154: Strength in Reality
Days passed, but Xu Jingming’s days remained very regular. He devoted most of his time to cultivation, and of course, he had to accompany the pregnant Li Miaomiao. In reality, he also consumed high-calorie food every day and cultivated his Perfected evolutionary method.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xu Jingming—who cultivated the evolutionary method—emitted terrifying, surging heat waves.
Li Miaomiao stood in the distance and watched.
Xu Jingming only cooled down after practicing one round of the evolutionary method.
The moment he cooled down, Xu Jingming’s entire body appeared reserved! All his cells swallowed the energy, and his body no longer emitted any heat.
“You completely restrained yourself just because you willed it?” Li Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise as she watched. “Jingming, the commotion you make when practicing the evolutionary method is getting greater and greater.”
“When practicing the evolutionary method, I have to devote all my efforts to it. There’s no way to converge my aura.” Xu Jingming smiled and walked over. “But it won’t be long. I’ll become a Perfected planetary lifeform in a month or two at most.”
Ordinary people only needed 98 days to become a Perfected planetary lifeform.
In the six months since the virtual world’s launch, his physique had improved sufficiently. It would only take him two months at most.
Crack! Crack!?
Xu Jingming took out a stick of high-calorie food that was placed to the side. It was long like a piece of chocolate, and it had a sweet taste attracting all the cells in his body such that they trembled slightly.
It was delicious! He finished a stick of high-calorie food in a few mouthfuls.
His stomach immediately felt hot as large amounts of energy began to flow into his entire body rapidly. His blood, bones, organs, and cells everywhere absorbed the energy.
“Is it really that delicious?” Li Miaomiao was envious.
“It’s quite delicious, but there are all kinds of delicacies in the virtual world,” Xu Jingming comforted. “Miaomiao, bear with it!”
“Yeah, I’ll give it a try after giving birth.” Li Miaomiao nodded.
High-calorie food packed in too many calories. Although they could break off a tiny piece—such as 1% of the stick, meaning that it contained 1,000 kcal—how much of a burden did this high-calorie food place on the body? The couple wasn’t sure either.
Although Director Zhou said that anyone could eat it, Li Miaomiao was pregnant after all. No matter how curious she was, she decided to put up with it.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of April.
In the dark night.
In Mingyue City, a figure flashed out of the villa district and leaped more than 100 meters to land on the roof of a five-star hotel. Xu Jingming landed gently with his feet, perfectly deflecting the force silently.
According to the VR headset, my physique has reached 1002 in reality,?Xu Jingming thought.
In the virtual world, his physique increased from about 700 to 1521, but he had to slowly improve in reality.
Such a physique is truly extraordinary in reality.?Xu Jingming leaped down.
He leaped off the hotel building and landed on the grass.
The grass trembled slightly, and Xu Jingming shot out like an arrow. He was like a ghost as he traversed the city suburbs and quickly rushed to a more remote area.
He was too fast; the cars and pedestrians appeared very slow.
I’ve already controlled my speed; otherwise, the commotion will be too great,?Xu Jingming thought. He controlled his speed to about 200 meters per second because the faster he was, the greater the wind resistance and the greater the commotion. Even at 200 meters per second, he had to stay away from people.
And if there were pedestrians in front? He would leap hundreds of meters into the air before landing to avoid the pedestrians.
His hearing, vision, and reaction speed… had reached an unimaginable level.
Yangtze River.
Xu Jingming ran to the Yangtze River’s edge and leaped hundreds of meters to the island in the middle of the river in one step. He strolled around the island, and with another step, the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, allowing him to jump to the opposite shore.
There’s someone!?Xu Jingming immediately stepped on the air when he saw someone at his destination from afar. With the speed of his legs, the air produced a sonic boom when he stepped on it.
The air seemed to turn corporeal, and the resistance was quite great.
He took a few steps in midair and landed beside another empty and desolate path.
Xu Jingming took a deep breath; the night air had turned colder.
I indeed have minute control over my body.?Xu Jingming ran out to familiarize himself with his strength in reality. Although the virtual world was nearly 100% virtual, he still had to familiarize himself with it in reality.
Since he couldn’t fight in reality, he could only run.
He had to observe his surroundings while running and listen carefully to his surroundings so as to not disturb others while running.
Time to head back!?Xu Jingming turned around and ran straight for the vast Yangtze River.
In the face of Xu Jingming’s speed and his extraordinary physical control, the river water was like the ground. He easily used it as leverage by stepping on the river surface as though it was no different from stepping on solid earth.
He quickly ran home the way he came.
Xu Jingming recently quite liked his ‘running’ exercise, and he ran a lap every night.
…
“Beep.”
An invisible fluctuation enveloped the entire planet.
“Human movement with a maximum speed of 212 meters per second has been detected in Mingyue City. It’s confirmed to be China’s Xu Jingming.” The Earth’s global security system immediately confirmed Xu Jingming’s identity. In the security system, this was only a notification; it wasn’t even considered an alarm.
...
Binhai City.
Lying in bed, Pang Yun took off his VR headset and went downstairs to the living room, where a woman was watching a program on the projection.
“Mom.” Pang Yun walked over, his eyes filled with worry. “What’s wrong with Dad? It’s been nearly half a year, but Dad hasn’t come out of the chamber?”
He had a special chamber at home with a floating sphere within—the equipment his father used to log into the virtual world.
For nearly half a year, his father had never taken a step out of the chamber!
“I tried looking for Dad in the virtual world too, but he switched off all communications, so I can’t contact him at all.” Pang Yun was a little worried. “Will he be alright?”
The woman smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Your father said that this matter is relatively important, and it might take a year or so. He told us not to worry.”
Pang Yun nodded.
Beep!
Suddenly, there was a sound.
The woman and Pang Yun revealed looks of delight as they immediately got up and walked to the chamber at home.
The chamber door was silver-gray and couldn’t be destroyed by external forces. The entire chamber was built as a whole and emitted a mesmerizing luster. This chamber was also one of the safest places on Earth. Even a hydrogen bomb weighing hundreds of millions of tons couldn’t damage the chamber at all.
The chamber door opened, and Pang Ze walked out, exhausted.
“Dad.” Pang Yun’s eyes turned red.
“I’ve been too busy recently. It’s nothing,” Pang Ze said with a smile.
“In the past, you would log off every day. Even if you were really busy, you would only stay in the chamber for not more than five days,” Pang Yun said worriedly. “But it’s been almost half a year.”
The woman also asked, “Did something happen?”
“I suffered a huge setback.” Pang Ze nodded and frowned. “It’s considered my biggest setback in the past decade! But the outcome is fine.”
“A setback?” The woman was worried. She knew very well how much responsibility her husband carried.
Pang Ze comforted him. “It’s also a good thing to suffer a setback; you’ll learn from it. If you suffer a setback, you’ll gain more experience.”
The family sat down and ate a sumptuous dinner.
“Dad, I followed the course you set for me previously. One is Cheng Zihao’s dossier, and the other is Fang Yu’s dossier. You gave me a score of 50 for Cheng Zihao’s course, and I’ve already sent you the answer for Fang Yu’s course. You haven’t given me a score and haven’t explained it to me,” Pang Yun said.
“Oh…” Pang Ze had been busy with important matters with the cosmic civilization recently, and it was only then that he recalled the classes he had given his son.
“I’ll talk to you about Cheng Zihao and Fang Yu after dinner,” Pang Ze said.. His mind was still on the virtual world.
