Chapter 17 Growth

Chapter 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.

Like...get out of this bed.

Well, it can't be done.

It is not the body that is tired, but the mind. In the former case, he could hold on to the wall and seek treatment from the Lord God, but in the latter case... he felt it was better for him to keep this memory.

Because this has commemorative value - it witnessed an important node in his life. It's important, and it's as beautiful as a dream.

Obviously, he was the only one who was lazy at this... I don't know if it was morning or evening.

——My experience is indeed insufficient... Well, let’s not kid myself, this is my first time. I have no experience with anything other than romantic fantasy.

...you have to get up.

Breathe softly and silently. Some memories of yesterday flow silently in my mind.

He has completely mastered the basics of the ultimate infinite magical power. And the way to master it is self-evident. When Xia's true energy circulated in his body, he gradually formed long-term memories in that synchronized cycle again and again. And when his body also completes the etching of the exercise route, the new nature of the exchange qigong will also change accordingly.

The air flows in the lungs and the internal force operates in the meridians - even the most basic part is enough to cause significant changes in the nature of Jiang Yu's internal force. He raised a finger on one side, and at the end of his fingertips there was a surge of electricity that penetrated the air. All the non-attributed internal energy in his body has been transformed into thunder energy. And this super-like ability to freely shape electric current is the basis of magnetic field rotation.

Current push.

Control electricity, use electricity, control electricity.

It is a skill that is like a super power, rather than 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 how much he admires martial arts. Martial arts is just a tool to him, and now this tool has fulfilled part of his basic purpose. As long as the subsequent exchanges are completed, the power framework he planned will be considered to have laid a solid foundation.

——Martial arts are useful. I am not so arrogant as to claim that fists and kicks are useless.

——But at this stage, tools are indeed more reliable than fists and feet.

The current in my fingertips quietly went out. Jiang Yu felt the gaze, and he saw Xia, who was dressed in home clothes, walking towards him with a plate of light snacks. The long pink hair that had been spread loosely was tied into a simple style on one shoulder.

"Xia." Jiang Yu gained strength, and the electric current flowing through his fingertips spread throughout his body, allowing his muscles to rejuvenate under the stimulation of microcurrent. Allow him to get up smoothly.

Xia put the dinner plate on the table aside 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 eliminate all sleepiness and fatigue from her body.

"Call me Ayu." Jiang Yu felt that she had completely changed her position from the old cleaner.

"Well... Ayu." The girl's body and mind expressed joy. She was indeed happy because of this change of title that was obviously more intimate. Show a gentle smile.

Tender and tranquil. When she lowered her head to fasten Jiang Yu's buttons, the side of her neck was fair and slender. When Jiang Yu saw it, a certain kind of protection and pity filled his heart.

She was good—extraordinarily good. Letting her come to him is undoubtedly the most correct decision he has made so far in this infinite journey. Perhaps, you can also delete ‘so far’.

so--

——She is mine, and I must protect her.

——Even if I need her to fight with me now, when I become strong enough. I also want to give her a stable enough... no, a home where she can be happy.

The emotions of protection and pity merge with each other, and what is finally shaped is something called 'responsibility'. It pressed on Jiang Yu's shoulders, but instead of making him bend his back, it made him straighten his chest.

Responsibility is never a burden, because voluntarily shouldering responsibilities will only make people stronger - Jiang Yu had seen this sentence in a book a long time ago. Yet he had never been able to understand it exactly until this moment.

The last button is fastened, and the mental state is adjusted to the best.

"Xia." He whispered in the girl's ear. He could feel the warm touch on the tip of the girl's ear. "You still have some time to spar with me and teach me how to fight - I want to smoothly mobilize the lightning energy in my body and turn it into surge skills that can be used immediately in battle."

He was full of confidence, but Xia's reaction was slightly beyond his expectation. Because Xia just took a step back lightly and did not agree to him in the first place.

"But... Ayu, you just woke up, don't you want to eat something?" - She looked at those exquisite snacks, and it may have taken Xia a lot of time to prepare them. But this subtle and cute little thought made Jiang's heart even more excited, and his whole person became confident and high-spirited.

So Jiang Yu took a deep breath. What lingered in his mouth, nose and heart was not only the aroma of snacks, but also the girlish fragrance of Kasumi.

"I am so full of energy now." Jiang Yu felt that she could kill two cows with one punch at this moment... two cows!

However, Xia only looked at him with a little surprise and more helplessness.

"But... Ayu, if you don't eat something and practice with me, and you want to quickly master the electric surge combat skills..." She tried very hard to consider a more appropriate word. "... I think, Ayu, you should change into a more resistant clothing."

"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 light ball under the main divine light ball - they set up a big round table, eating snacks and chatting. Zhang Jie's classical beauty did not appear in the square, and it was obvious that his vigilance against the newcomers had not been completely erased.

He seemed to hesitate when he saw Jiang Yu and Xia. Obviously, he could see the signs of strengthening on the two at a glance. He could sense the power of the two, but he concealed the truth he had noticed, just stood up and greeted them, laughing.

"Ahaha, Zhan Lan and I are both guessing who will come out first - I guess it's you, she guesses it's Zheng Zha. Now it seems that I'm lucky." His smile was bold and hearty, obviously different from the previous time in the hive.

"What's your name? And brother Jiang Yu, I feel like you've become a lot stronger."

His words were tentative. Zhan Lan, who was unaware of it, also stood up and greeted him.

And Jiang Yu gave a straightforward answer.

"This is Xia, my lover, and also our companion... and I spent time studying the exchange system of the main god yesterday and summed up some things. Sorry, I rashly used some side plots and reward points. I will share my findings with everyone later."

Jiang Yu did not hide it and bowed his head to Zhang Jie - but this made Zhang Jie confused. He waved his hands repeatedly to avoid this weak expression of apology. Use some random words to deal with it.

"What's there to apologize for? I haven't used the side storyline or anything like that. It's your freedom to use your stuff however you want. And I just said it casually before..."

"But we are a team, aren't we?" Jiang Yu sat down at a table beside the round table. Xia stood quietly beside him until he pulled his sleeve to let her sit down.

"The Lord God brought us together, and we are destined to act together in the future - we will go to the next world, the next world, and more worlds together. And this means that helping each other is essential for our subsequent survival. If we are just a pile of scattered sand, I think we will soon fall into trouble."

His tone is sincere and his actions are enthusiastic. Because he really thinks so and intends to do so.

And Zhan Lan on the side nodded repeatedly, obviously thinking so too - although this little woman did not take any real risks in the last game. But compared to her past life, this novel experience is indeed too heavy.

"That makes sense, Brother Zhang Jie." She echoed from the side. "Jiang Yu is right, we are a team. We must work together to overcome the subsequent difficulties... To be honest, I am so scared when I think about the next adventure in nine days. I can't sleep well if I stay in the room alone."

Her words are not very ladylike... So it is obvious that she tried to get closer to Xia. Perhaps it is because she, as a person with spiritual potential, vaguely felt Xia's power. Of course, it may also be the unique habit of women to stick together.

Unfortunately, Xia did not respond to her words. She just smiled politely.

—— There is no way, Xia's personality is to be alone. This is what I set and what I need. It is too difficult for others to get along with her.

Jiang Yu's mind was turning.

And Zhang Jie seemed to be moved by his words. Just as he was about to say something, a strange sound interrupted him.

Mou Gang woke up.

And the one who was faster than Mou Gang was Zheng Zha who walked out of his personal space quickly. He rushed to the main god's light ball and questioned loudly.

"Tell me! Lord God, is she real or fake? Why is she exactly the same as the one I remember? Why doesn't Luo Li know anything? Lord God! Answer me!"

It was like giving himself a way out.
