Chapter 3 The Cat That Speaks Human Language

Li Ge rode a bicycle to school, while Xue Jing took the bus. After the two separated, Xue Jing took the bus, got off after three stops, and walked a few hundred meters to return home.

He greeted the security guard, entered the community, came to his own unit building, took the elevator to the ninth floor, took out the key to open the door.

After entering the door, he threw his schoolbag on the sofa, stretched his body, and walked into the "gym".

It was called a gym, but it was originally a utility room. After the skill panel was awakened, Xue Jing cleared out the debris inside and purchased a lot of fitness equipment, turning it into a small gym. For this, he almost spent all the living expenses he saved every month.

Fortunately, he did not become a member of the Zhutian Orphanage in this life, but had both parents and a sister who just went to college last year. Although his family was not rich, it was still happy.

The only problem is that his parents are very busy at work and often go on business trips. His sister Xue Wan has been studying in another city since last year, which has caused Xue Jing to basically live alone.

Xue Jing first did a set of stretching exercises, then stood on the treadmill, started it, and adjusted the pace to 12km/h, intending to run at this speed for ten minutes to warm up.

As he started running, he fell into thought.

"I ran a thousand meters during the physical test at noon, and I got 10 more experience points than running a thousand meters at ordinary times..."

"So, this way of 'participating in specific events' is the trick to quickly brush up experience?"

After school, the reason why Xue Jing agreed to the request of his class teacher Du Shiwei to participate in the school sports meeting was to confirm this point.

If this is the way to get more experience, an ordinary daily physical test can increase his experience, then participating in a formal competition should increase it even more.

...

An hour later, Xue Jing was sweating profusely, panting, unscrewing a bottle of 500ml mineral water, and drinking it all in one breath.

He opened the panel.

[You have completed a hard exercise, fitness experience +98]

[Fitness Lv2 (356/500)]

He calmed down for a while and felt the changes in his body.

Well, if you just rely on your feelings, you can't feel anything.

But he knows that his physical fitness has improved a little.

The changes in skill experience value are reflected in real time, not only when you level up.

"The fitness skill is actually not worth the time if you spend time practicing it." Xue Jing thought.

After his understanding during this period of time, the skill "Fitness" can comprehensively enhance all of one's physical qualities. It is a very useful skill and also his key experience goal.

However, this skill does not actually require him to exercise specifically in the gym.

According to his observation, the way to increase experience for this skill should be "all behaviors that can exercise the body."

For example, when he runs, he can increase "running" experience and some "fitness" experience at the same time.

In this case, he can also gain experience in "fitness" by doing other things that can exercise the body, without having to spend time on fitness equipment.

For example... practicing martial arts.

The martial arts in this world are much more developed than in the previous life.

He saw with his own eyes that in the martial arts competition video on the Internet, a martial artist kicked his opponent more than ten meters away with one kick, and hit the wall and left a human mark.

The action was incredibly fast.

He also wanted to get in touch with martial arts, but... he didn't know where to get started.

Shortly after the panel awakened, he found videos, cheats and the like on the Internet and practiced them seriously, but so far, there is still no movement on the panel.

The activation of skills is not just practicing randomly, you must have real things, otherwise he would have a lot of skills on him now.

There are several martial arts dojo in Qingcheng, but the fees are so expensive that he can't afford it, and he is embarrassed to ask his parents for money because it is really too expensive.

"As long as I can get started, with my invincible talent and amazing wisdom, I can practice a powerful and domineering peerless skill. That would be easy."

But no matter how strong his talent is or how high his wisdom is, without a master to guide him, it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.

The skill panel can let him go from 1 to 100, but it can't let him go from 0 to 1 out of thin air.

Xue Jing rested for a while, got up and went to the bathroom.

…

After washing his hair, rinsing his body, and filling the bathtub with water for fifteen minutes, all his fatigue was gone, but his muscles were still a little sore.

In the bathroom, Xue Jing looked in the mirror.

This is a very elegant face, intellectual and abstinent, very cold when not making any expression, but as long as the corners of his mouth are raised, it is like a warm sun rising in winter, not hot, just a ray of warmth, but enough to refresh the heart.

His figure is thin but not bony. After these days of skill training, beautiful muscles have begun to emerge. Since the skills enhance physical fitness in an all-round way, there is no incoordination in these muscles, and they all grow in the most perfect direction.

He looked down... well, he was a little bit timid.

After twisting his half-long black hair that didn't reach his eyes, Xue Jing put on his clothes, walked out of the bathroom, and prepared to go out to replenish food for the family.

After changing his shoes, he walked out of the house, out of the community, and walked to the nearest supermarket.

Now it was 7:30 in the evening. It was already dark. Most people had eaten dinner, and there were many pedestrians on the street.

While waiting for a traffic light on the road, Xue Jing suddenly heard a few screams from the side.

He looked in the direction of the sound curiously.

On the opposite side of the road, a Mediterranean old man in a wheelchair, wearing a classic sleeveless white sweatshirt, fiddled with the wheels on both sides with his hands, turned them quickly, and controlled the wheelchair to shuttle quickly between pedestrians.

Is he... drifting?

It's amazing that the old man was obviously drifting with a manual wheelchair, but he had excellent skills, and he turned and moved lightly and freely. After turning a few drainage channels, he threw the wheelchair out with a sense of smoothness like a professional figure skater, extremely smooth.

The wheelchair blew up the wind as it passed, blowing up the skirts of the female students wearing short skirts along the way, causing them to scream. The old man in the wheelchair even took the time to whistle at the girls, causing them to curse and grumble.

Looking at the old man's elegant back drifting away, Xue Jing fell into deep thought.

If sitting in a wheelchair is considered a skill, this old man must be at level 10.

It was an interesting thing.

Shaking his head, the green light came on, and Xue Jing crossed the road and walked into the supermarket.

He bought some beef, pork, vegetables, eggs, ham, vegetarian noodles, onions, ginger, garlic, spices, and some seasonings that were used up or were about to be used up, as well as some snacks and fruits. Then he paid at the cashier and walked out of the supermarket with a big bag.

Xue Jing returned the same way, but stopped when he passed a dark alley.

"Huh?"

A small black cat with four white gloves jumped down from somewhere and stood in front of him.

The cat didn't have a collar, but there was a platinum-colored metal ring on the top of its tail. I don't know if it was a decoration for a domestic cat by its owner, or a stray cat was forcibly tied with it by a passerby as a prank.

It was dirty and some places were hairless, which seemed to be caused by a fight with its own kind. There were also spots of coagulated blood on its fur, and it was obvious that it had suffered a lot.

After the cat jumped down, it staggered in front of Xue Jing, looked at him with its emerald-like vertical pupils, and then fell to the ground sideways.

"Are you trying to scam me?"

Xue Jing laughed.

However, the cat looked quite pitiful, and it was also a fate. He squatted down and prepared to take out a few sausages to feed it.

At this moment, the fallen cat opened his mouth and spoke in human language in a daze, muttering: "I didn't expect... the world of stray cats... is so cruel, gu."

After that, he closed his eyes and fainted.
