The Body's State During the Crossing

The liquid in the test tube had no taste, only a faint, mint-like coolness.

As the liquid entered his body, He Ao felt a strange energy awaken within his flesh, soaking into his Soul and slowly restoring the parts he had lost.

He Ao didn't gulp down the liquid all at once. Instead, he drank it in small sips, waiting for his Soul to gradually recover.

After drinking about a quarter of it, he felt his Soul return to its peak state. The previous fatigue and weakness were completely gone. However, continuing to drink only gave him a faint cooling sensation, without the feeling of his Soul getting stronger.

So, it was called a Recovery Potion, not an Enhancement Potion. It could only help He Ao return to his original state.

He Ao looked at the test tube. There was about three-quarters of the potion left. A quarter of the potion had restored the consumption from him 'burning' his life for 20 seconds. The remaining potion meant he could 'burn' his life for another 60 seconds without worry, which was equivalent to having an extra trump card.

Hmm, 'burning' one's life really is addictive.

He sealed the test tube with the cork stopper again and held it in his hand. Then, He Ao opened his personal attribute interface.

[He Ao]

[Permission Level: Normal Player]

[Physical Fitness: 16 (Normal people in Copy Worlds are 10, normal people in the Main World are 5)]

[Skills: Talent Sequence 272: Super Memory (Soul Bound) (Rank E), Basic Firearms Proficiency]

[Mechanical Modifications: None]

[Martial Arts: Qi Induction (Rank F)]

Super Memory had advanced to Rank E and he had gained a new skill. These were the changes He Ao was aware of.

He focused his attention on the Physical Fitness section. His Physical Fitness had changed from 15 to 16. This increase seemed to come from the modifications to his body by Basic Firearms Proficiency.

A Physical Fitness of 16 was more than three times that of a normal person in the Main World, but in the Copy World, according to the transcendent levels in Ander's memory, Rank F was 2 to 3 times the quality of a normal person in the Copy World, meaning a Physical Fitness between 20 and 30.

Without using his abilities, He Ao's own Physical Fitness was still a bit short of reaching this transcendent level.

However, Super Memory had a time limit, and 'burning' his life was not a long-term solution.

Improving his own Physical Fitness was the most important thing.

Currently, the only usable cultivation method was the energy absorption method recorded in that small book, but that could only be done during the morning light.

He Ao couldn't understand the writing in the small book and didn't know if there were other cultivation methods. Perhaps the next time he went to a Copy World, he could try to find information related to this writing.

At this moment, the countdown for his next mission had already appeared in his vision. It was still 24 hours, which meant one day later.

This time, he had stayed in the Copy World for about six or seven hours, but only a little over ten minutes had passed in the Main World.

He Ao closed the attribute panel, stretched, and slowly walked over to the camera he had installed before the mission started.

He skillfully removed the memory card from the camera, walked into the study, first locked the silver test tube in the small drawer in the study, and then turned on the old desktop computer.

As the fan whirred like an old ox pulling a cart, He Ao squatted down, unplugged the network cable, and then inserted the memory card into the card reader, connecting it to the computer.

Two minutes later, the computer displayed the desktop, but moving the mouse had no response at all. The computer was in a frozen state after booting up. After waiting for about five minutes, the old computer finally fully started, and moving the mouse had a response.

He Ao had bought this computer for a few hundred yuan at a second-hand market. He didn't know how old it was before he bought it, but it had been with He Ao for five years.

As the computer finished reading the card, He Ao clicked on the most recent surveillance footage stored inside.

The recording began with He Ao setting up the camera, then moving away and sitting on a stool.

After about a few dozen seconds, He Ao's figure flickered, and the entire camera feed started showing obvious distortions. Everything in the room in the picture became twisted, turning into masses of distorted colors, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

After a few seconds, the picture recovered, but He Ao's figure was no longer in the room.

Then He Ao quickly dragged the progress bar forward. After about sixteen minutes, the entire picture distorted violently again. This distortion lasted for about five to six seconds. When the picture recovered, He Ao reappeared in the room.

He Ao turned off the video and fell into thought.

When he went to the Copy World, it was clearly a Soul transmigration. This could be seen from the fact that the Soul-bound 'Super Memory' could be used, while the body-related 'Qi Induction' could not. Moreover, the body of each character he played was different.

He installed the camera to confirm the state of his Main World body after he transmigrated.

Now it seemed that during the transmigration process, the Main World body would also disappear, and ordinary electronic devices could not capture the disappearance process. He didn't know if this was a system protection mechanism.

This was good news. He had been worried that when he went to the Copy World, his Soul would leave while his body remained, and he would be buried as dead or be stabbed to death by enemies without resistance. Now he didn't have this worry.

Of course, since he would disappear after transmigrating, he would have to start missions in uninhabited places in the future. Otherwise, if someone suddenly disappeared on the street, it would probably become front-page news the next day.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons the system showed him the countdown to the next mission, allowing him to prepare in advance.

After figuring this out, He Ao formatted the memory card once, then copied some large videos from the 'Learning Materials' folder on his computer's hard drive to fill the memory card, and formatted it again. He repeated this two or three times before pulling out the memory card.

After the first format, data on memory cards and mechanical hard drives could be recovered, so it was necessary to fill the entire space with some large files to overwrite the original records, and then format it again. This way, even if the other party recovered it, they would only get some learning materials.

By the time everything was done, it was past eight o'clock. He Ao stood up from his chair and stretched.

He was preparing for his stall tonight. Just then, He Ao's phone rang again.

He Ao frowned and took out his phone. He had almost no friends, and usually only loan companies, salespeople, and scammers called him.

He looked at the screen. He Ao hadn't saved this phone number, but it looked somewhat familiar.

The call connected, and a familiar female voice came from the other end,

"He Ao, are you free tonight? I heard there's a particularly delicious snack shop near the school, but it opens quite late. How about I treat you?"

Liu Nan...

He Ao was stunned.

Why was this girl so persistent?

Didn't she know that an abnormal human was trying to catch her all over the world?

When he went to the police station yesterday, he had already told Team Leader Liu that the young man was preparing to find someone to kidnap Liu Nan. Didn't they tell Liu Nan?

Did they have other arrangements?

However, these matters were not He Ao's concern. He was just a student who sold Cold Noodles.

He picked up the phone and directly refused Liu Nan's invitation,

"I have something on tonight, sorry."

He still had to set up his stall to make money.

After thinking for a moment, he still reminded her, "You should still be careful about your safety recently, don't run around, and watch out for kidnapping."

"Huh?"

Liu Nan was stunned for a moment, then heard the busy signal from the other end of the phone.

She put down her phone in confusion and looked at the girl beside her, "He hung up..."

Yesterday, she invited him to eat something expensive, and he didn't come. Today, she invited him to eat something cheap, and he still didn't come.

"He cares about you! He must be worried you'll encounter danger! He likes you!"

The girl analyzed firmly.

There was no convincing power in those words.

This was the first time Liu Nan had been rejected twice in a row when inviting a boy to dinner. This wasn't how you played hard to get.

But owing someone a favor was something that bothered her and made her uncomfortable.

"Let's go, Nan Nan, let's try that snack place ourselves," Liu Nan sighed and looked at the girl, "Where is that snack stall?"

"It's over in the Industrial Area. It's not really a shop, just a street stall, but they say the taste is amazing. It's only open at night. Wait a moment," the girl took out her phone, "I'll turn on the navigation."
