He Ao really wanted to swallow the sphere to see what effects it would have.
But in the end, he gave up on the idea because it didn’t look very edible, lacking allure.
It wasn’t as attractive to him as that tube of purple liquid in the Copy World.
Then a thought suddenly popped into his head,
would someone else find this black sphere appealing?
Did that mean that specific Transcendent items were only attractive to particular people or Transcendents?
His current information was too scant; he needed to conduct further research.
According to Zhang Ansha’s view, the black sphere should be quite valuable.
Selling it through Zhang Ansha’s channels might be possible, but before understanding the true nature of this object, He Ao had no plans to sell it.
If He Ao himself couldn’t determine the true value of the item, he wouldn’t know if he had lost or gained in a trade.
After all, it was equivalent to trading a tube of Soul Recovery Potion for it.
If he had lost out, he would remember it for a long time.
He Ao put away the test tube and opened his attribute panel once again.
His physical condition was still at 16.
In the Copy World, Ande’s physical condition was at 13, which increased to 70 after the outburst of Super Memory, a growth of 57, whereas He Ao’s own physical condition, after Super Memory outbreak, reached 85, an increase of 69.
Assuming the enhancement provided by Super Memory to physical condition was fixed, then the difference between He Ao himself and Ande originated from their inherent physical conditions.
During the eruption of Super Memory, He Ao felt part of the energy overflowing from his body.
This energy seemed to be the unspent part of the Vermilion Fruit, hidden within his body.
So he decided to do an experiment.
First, he dozed off on the couch for a while and woke up before dawn.
Then he stood on the balcony, watching the first rays of light from the dawn spill through the clouds.
Super Memory, burst!
The energies that had been lying dormant within him surged out quickly.
These energies were not absorbed by him but had always been dormant.
They were only stimulated by the burst of Super Memory.
He Ao attempted to channel these energies but found they had already formed a certain connection with his muscles and organs, preventing their movement within his body.
Then he took a deep breath, and a faint energy formed within his chest cavity.
This energy, derived from the dawn light, would have dissipated within his chest, but it was contained by the energies surging from him, reducing the rate of dissipation.
Seizing the opportunity, He Ao quickly guided this strand of energy through a circuit in his arms, and this time, less than half of the energy was consumed.
Following that, he swiftly guided the energy through another circuit.
After these two circuits, the energy was finally exhausted.
Although he couldn’t directly manipulate the dormant energies, they effectively prevented the dissipation of the energy He Ao absorbed, ensuring most of the energy he inhaled was retained.
After this influx of energy, He Ao glanced at his arms.
He could feel a stronger boost in the strength of his arms, reaching a noticeable threshold.
He clicked open the attribute panel, and the ’16’ behind his physical condition twitched but ultimately remained unchanged.
He Ao had a feeling that by the next dawn, his physical condition would reach 17.
At the moment, his arms’ strength actually far surpassed the rest of his body, but because physical condition was calculated as a whole, according to this method of calculation, the strength of the arms was being ‘averaged out.’
Martial Arts differed from Talent Sequences; it required a price for usage and its advancement was full of secrecy.
In contrast, it seemed that one could make progress in Martial Arts through solid practice.
This kind of step-by-step positive feedback felt great.
He Ao took a deep breath, greeted by the brilliance of dawn, packed his school bag, and prepared to leave for practice classes.
He had just gotten downstairs when he heard a loud curse, “Don’t know whose horndog offspring it is, actually had the nerve to steal my electric scooter.
Can’t the little mutt run fast enough on four legs?
Even ruined the lock cylinder of my scooter, what on earth was he jabbing with?”
A lady in a red coat was pushing an electric scooter into the neighborhood, fuming.
This lady was the very one who lived above He Ao.
After Bull was spooked off by He Ao, he stole this lady’s scooter in the chaos.
Having witnessed the theft, He Ao had incidentally mentioned it to Captain Liu that day.
Bull had been caught yesterday. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
It seemed that he had confessed where he discarded the scooter, and it had been retrieved.
“Ao, heading to school?”
The lady saw He Ao and greeted him warmly before tentatively asking, “That person who banged on your door that day?
What happened?
Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, he has been arrested by the police.”
He Ao smiled and nodded.
That day, the lady heard someone hitting He Ao’s door and came out, only to be intimidated back into her home by Bull.
Captain Liu also received her emergency call.
Despite her harsh words, she wasn’t a bad person.
“Good that he’s caught, good that he’s caught.”
The lady breathed a sigh of relief, before pushing her scooter past He Ao.
He Ao watched the lady return the scooter to its place and continued on his way to school.
—
“He Ao, Liu Nan has transferred schools!”
He Ao had just reached the classroom entrance when Yuan Nannan, barrelling into him with full force, suddenly announced, “She called me last night saying her dad forced her to transfer back down south.”
“Hmm.”
He Ao nodded his head, ready to pass by Yuan Nannan and enter the classroom.
“Are you not feeling upset?
Aren’t you surprised?”
Yuan Nannan looked at He Ao with curiosity, somewhat unable to understand his thoughts.
He Ao glanced at her, puzzled, and shook his head.
He too believed that Liu Nan transferring back to her family’s sphere of influence would be safer.
Yuan Nannan was confused.
She felt the brokenness of a fan whose beloved ship had just sunk—could it be that there really was nothing between them?
He Ao entered the classroom, swept his gaze around, and didn’t see any trace of Liu Nan.
It seemed she really had transferred.
He Ao didn’t feel much about this; he was accustomed to being alone.
He returned to his seat, the large area around him still empty.
As usual, people were talking about him.
Until the bell rang, a figure stood beside him.
“Excuse me, is this seat taken?”
He Ao looked up at the newcomer.
The girl wore a clean and tidy white shirt, accompanied by a light blue pleated skirt and pure white stockings that reached up to her thighs.
Her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, both cute and pure, perfectly capturing the youthful beauty of an eighteen-year-old girl.
He Ao took a glance at the girl, then rubbed his eyes and looked again.
“Is there something on my face?
Did my makeup smear?”
Liu Nan was somewhat puzzled.
He Ao: “I take another look with newfound respect.”
Liu Nan: “?
(・’ヘ´・;)ゞ”
Eventually, Liu Nan sat down next to He Ao.
“Didn’t you transfer schools?”
He Ao asked casually.
“I told my dad that adults should have the right to make their own choices.”
Liu Nan smiled; she had spent all night persuading her father, from the dead of night until dawn.
Although the kidnapping incident was over, she still had debts to repay.
“Hmm.”
He Ao nodded slightly.
The two were acquaintances, but not close.
They had never interacted before and didn’t know each other’s preferences.
For a moment, there was no topic for them to continue with.
He Ao didn’t like to talk while listening to the lecture, so silence fell between them.
Their lives seemed to have not changed at all.
The only difference was that there was now one more person in the empty space around He Ao’s seat during this class.
Friend…
This word appeared in He Ao’s mind.
Then he again refused Liu Nan’s proposal to have lunch together.
Even friends have to wait in line.
He went to find the next person on his notebook to honor the lunch appointment.
Liu Nan had a rank of -1.
——
Dawn turns into a fierce sun, the fierce sun into sunset.
As the last gleams of daylight fell below the horizon, He Ao sat in the living room at home, watching the countdown in his field of view gradually reach zero.
