Early morning.
Winter sunlight pours in through the open windows, spreading a shiny area on the worn old floor.
Ivy is placed in the corner, half immersed in light and half hidden in darkness.
In the Living Room with mottled light and shadow, a muscular figure is doing Squats exercises with all his strength.
He was naked from the waist up and carried a heavy Barbell on his shoulders.
The broad chest is like a thick barrier, with bulging chest muscles and hard lines that seem to be able to withstand the impact of all external forces.
As you slowly squat down, the deltoid muscles on your shoulders bulge high, like two solid little Hill.
The black sports shorts matched with the lower body perfectly outline the thick columnar legs.
Quadriceps is incredibly strong. Every time he bends his knees and squats, his leg muscles are as tight and bulging as steel.
It steadily carries the weight of Barbell and the body, providing a rock-solid foundation for completing the entire movement.
Every subtle tremble of the muscles demonstrates the blend of strength and beauty.
"Huchi--"
Sweat beads slowly flowed down his cheeks, and the hot breath he exhaled turned into clouds of white smoke, filling the air.
It's like the violent energy hidden in the body is fighting with the cold outside.
A gust of wind rolled up the curtains, bringing with it a chilly Aura, but the moment it broke into the house, it was melted by the hot breath.
Then it turned into a few gentle breezes, gently stirring the corners of the calendar on the wall.
The pages of paper were like awakened butterflies, turning gracefully and making a soft rustling sound.
Finally, it seemed that I was tired of playing and gradually calmed down.
The calendar also stopped turning, and the top page slowly fell down and stopped.
In the soft light, today's date is clearly displayed--
February 2nd, the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Sunday.
"..."
"299."
"300."
When the count reached 300, Fang Cheng took a long breath of hot breath.
Then he gently put down the 250 kilogram Barbell, straightened his back, raised his head and took a breath for a moment.
Then he walked to Balcony, looked down at the scene of Street downstairs through the open window.
The tents set up at the epidemic prevention and testing points have long since been dismantled.
The last two young patrol officers left were currently packing items around the building, rolling up the black and yellow Barrier Tape.
It seems that they are also preparing to evacuate.
"As for..."
Fang Cheng raised his eyes slightly and scanned the entire building opposite like lightning.
No one was seen in the room on the eighth floor where the monitor was previously hidden, and no abnormalities were found in other rooms.
The woman named Cheng, Special Search Team Specialist, and her accomplices have disappeared since around 11 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Today is already the third day after the physical examination.
According to the epidemic prevention personnel, as long as no abnormalities are detected from the sampling specimens within 48 hours, the residents of the entire building Sleeve Building will be able to resume free movement.
Speaking of which, in fact, it was almost time yesterday afternoon, and the lockdown was essentially lifted.
The police officers guarding the outside had already withdrawn one after another.
Fang Cheng For safety reasons, it was not restored to normal Training Plan until this morning.
At this moment, after looking at Street on the left and right sides of Sleeve Building several times, my suspicion was confirmed again.
This matter is finally over.
It is estimated that after "Masked Man" appeared in West Pass District late at night, Special Search Team shifted the main target of suspicion away from Old Factory Street located in Jiangbei.
Fang Cheng squinted at the morning light outside the window and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked intently at the light blue light screen that appeared in his field of vision.
One by one Prompt Information passed by one after another.
[Muay Thai Experience+8]
[Tai Chi Experience+7]
[Push-Ups Experience+19]
[Squats Experience+22]
[Leg Raises Experience+10]
[Pull-Ups experience +10]
[Back Bridge Experience+19]
[Handstand Push-Ups Experience+20]
[Qi Gong Experience+3]
These are all Experience Points I gained after resuming morning exercise today.
Out of caution, Fang Cheng did not continue to exercise on the rooftop for the time being, but stayed at home to practice.
Therefore, the two skills "Pull-Ups" and "Leg Raises" add relatively little experience.
After all, the wooden door frame at home cannot withstand the ravages of your body and hundreds of kilograms of weight.
Fang Cheng So put the extra energy on several other items Fitness Skills.
Barbell Squats with a weight of 500 kilograms for 300 times, Six-Finger Push-Ups with a weight of 200 kilograms for 300 times, Handstand Push-Ups with a weight of 200 kilograms for 150 times, Iron Plate Bridge stand up for 600 times.
Such a high-intensity exercise makes me feel quite refreshed.
All the pores in my body seemed to be activated, and I was breathing freely.
After being locked up in the building for several days, the depression and depression that had been accumulated were released to the fullest.
The body that has neglected to exercise does not feel tired because of this. Instead, it feels like turning on Engine again, injecting a new vitality.
Besides that.
Reasonable adjustments have also been made to Combat Skill, Training Plan, and Fang Cheng.
Focus more on the lower-level "Muay Thai" and "Tai Chi" to improve the efficiency of playing Shadow Boxing.
I hope to speed up the two skills Level Up and further enhance my strength.
Breathe the fresh and free air outside the window, and continue to practice Qi Gong, which is covered by clouds and fog, to soothe the muscles and bones of the limbs.
Fang Cheng then raised his hand, wiped his face that was still sticky after the sweat evaporated, and turned to walk to the bathroom.
Grandpa had left Intensive Care Unit the night before and moved to General Ward.
You can go visit me this afternoon. The old man should be able to talk to you.
So, now I have to clean up my appearance.
Wow--
Unscrew Faucet, and cool tap water spurts out.
He picked up a handful of water with both hands and poured it on his hot face.
Then pick up Towel, soak it, wring it out, and carefully wipe every inch of muscle along your arms, chest, and back.
Wherever it passes, the salt and dirt remaining on the surface of the skin are wiped away, and the stickiness is completely eliminated, leaving only a refreshing and slightly cool feeling.
After wiping your body, pour some shampoo, rub it in your palms, and wash your hair.
After completely cleaning up, Fang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at himself in Mirror.
Her eyes are bright and lively, and her hair is still wet with moisture. It is dark, thick, smooth and shiny.
When the hair dryer blows, it surges like waves of wheat, so it's no problem to shoot a shampoo commercial.
Even though Dantian consumed a lot of True Qi, the body is still as healthy as usual.
The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that the muscles are too big. Even with clothes on, this macho physique is still a bit conspicuous.
"I hope grandpa won't recognize me..."
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng immediately summoned Panel and looked at Progress Bar on the left side of Attribute Bar.
After a period of exercise, the values after the decimal point of the four items Base Attribute have increased slightly.
Strength 25%, agility 89%, Constitution 41%, spirit 36%.
In particular, Agility Attribute has increased significantly, from 53% to 89%.
The main reason is that the last time I understood the profound meaning of Tai Chi "stopping with stillness and defeating rigidity with softness", I entered a mysterious state similar to the change of water flow.
This improves body flexibility and balance to a certain extent.
Looking at Agility Attribute who was not far from the breakthrough, Fang Cheng felt a little warm in his heart and whispered to himself:
"If you work harder, it shouldn't take long before you can look like an ordinary handsome boy again..."
Faucet is closed and the sliding door is removed.
Fang Cheng came out shirtless, pulled on his slippers, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling comfortable, I walked to the kitchen and opened Refrigerator.
But it was empty inside. Except for two carrots and half a piece of pork, there was no other food.
Being locked up in the building these past few days, my food reserves have been consumed too much.
Although the police will provide basic protection and buy daily necessities on their behalf, they can't resist their large appetites and can't help eating at all.
Looks like I have to go out to buy some food later.
He glanced at the clock on the wall.
7:58.
There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!
It's still early.
Fang Cheng then walked back to the bedroom and came to the desk.
The few books on the table are still lying quietly where they were folded last night.
The light passes through the gap in the window and quietly falls on the writing on the cover, as if a flickering elf is calling to itself.
Fang Cheng reached out and opened the curtains, allowing the sunlight to fully flood into the bedroom.
Then he pulled out his chair and sat down again.
"Keep practicing your skills."
Looking at Panel shows Progress Bar.
[Speed Reading Lv1(243/250)]
After several days of hard practice, it was finally time for this skill to be promoted.
And in the process, I seemed to vaguely find a breakthrough opportunity that was different from usual.
Fang Cheng sat at the desk and picked up Ippon's thickest tome.
This is the latest version of National Dictionary, with a total of 1,658 pages, including about 11,000 Xia Characters.
In addition to annotations and meanings of commonly used words, it also includes explanations of many idioms and words, as well as evolution history and usage examples.
It can be said that this is Ippon an extremely comprehensive reference book with extremely complicated content.
At the same time, it is also an excellent tool for exercising Memory strength.
Fang Cheng reached out to open the dictionary and settled on page 1 first.
Then he took a deep breath, calmed down, and said silently:
"Speed Reading skill, activate."
Suddenly, a strange button seemed to be pressed in my mind.
Fang Cheng's eyes became extremely sharp, and he steadily picked up the heavy dictionary with both hands.
Then, his fingers quickly twisted the pages of the book.
Hua Hua Hua--
Along with the continuous sound of turning books.
The dense writing on the paper seemed to come alive instantly, lining up and rushing towards his eyes.
At the same time, sparks burst out from the synapses of countless neurons in the brain, transmitting massive amounts of information at the speed of light.
At this moment, Fang Cheng seemed to be in an absolutely rational mechanical state.
The pupils of his eyes were shining, like a laser printer, almost instinctively scanning and typing the content recorded on each page of paper.
Everywhere he went, no textual information was missed. Those complex vocabulary combinations and awkward academic language were all quickly dismantled and absorbed by him in the process of super-speed reading.
Fang Cheng vaguely enters a wonderful state, as if touching a key that opens the door to Palace of Wisdom.
The stopwatch on the alarm clock next to me ticked one after another.
The flow of time around me seemed to slow down.
The pages of the dictionary are turning over at an increasingly faster speed.
An hour passed.
The thick Ippon dictionary is almost at its last page.
Fang Cheng seems to still be immersed in the vastness of knowledge Ocean, exploring a key mystery among the rapidly flowing pages.
suddenly.
A Prompt Information floated past my eyes.
[Warning! You are starting to overdraw your energy and affect your physical condition. Please take a rest]
Fang Cheng's eyebrows were furrowed, with a look of pain on his face.
Throw away the dictionary immediately and rub your temples vigorously with both hands to relieve the pain in your head.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that he relaxed his frown and let out a long breath.
At this moment, right in front of his eyes, the new Prompt Information is rolling out.
[Congratulations, after unremitting efforts, your skills have reached a higher level and have reached Master Level]
[Speed Reading Lv2(0/500)]
[Get Enhancement Reward, Skill Special Effect"Memory Palace"]
[Memory Palace, when activating skills, you can enter Super Brain State temporarily, Memory's power is greatly improved, and you can reconstruct everything you see in front of you in your mind]
[Note, this Skill Special Effect will consume a large amount of Mental Energy, so the activation time and cooling time are related to Spirit Attribute]
Fang Cheng Close your eyes and recall the dictionary contents in Memory.
The printed words jumped out one after another like fresh tadpoles, as if they had already been engraved in my mind.
Don't show off your skills like memorizing things backwards and forwards.
Even if you think about it casually, what page, line, and word are, a very clear picture will immediately appear in your mind, just like opening a dictionary and finding that page.
Even every punctuation mark must be remembered clearly without any mistakes.
Memory is so powerful that he looks like a monster.
No!
This is not the true effect of the "Speed Reading" skill that was promoted to Master Level.
Because the special effects of "Memory Palace" should not be just like that.
The so-called "Memory Palace" sounds like some kind of hidden magical power.
In fact, it is indeed an ancient and magical Memory training method, also known as "Mind Palace" or "Palace of Memory".
Fang Cheng I had a preliminary understanding of it in order to improve my Memory ability when I was in school.
As early as more than two thousand years ago, Ancient Greece poet Simonides attended a banquet. The banquet hall collapsed, and the guests suffered heavy casualties and were completely changed beyond recognition.
Simonides, however, successfully identified all the corpses by relying on the location of the guests at the banquet in his mind.
This was the initial flash of inspiration for the Memory Palace, using the wonderful connection between spatial location and Memory to "place" the things that Memory needs in every corner of the familiar space.
By the Middle Ages, Memory Palace was even more popular among scholars and monks.
They have to memorize a large number of religious classics and academic works, and by constructing Memory Palace, they dismantle difficult-to-read scriptures and complex theories, and place them in imaginary Church, corridors, and rooms. They can just pick them up and read them when needed.
Modern Memory masters have even played new tricks with the Memory Palace.
Like some top gambling masters, they can move all the massive Poker card suit and number combinations on the card table into their own "palace" in a few seconds, and store information in one "storage room" after another.
After that, you only need to "revisit" according to the route, and you can accurately locate the completely disrupted card pile and completely see through the opponent's card.
Simply put, Memory Palace is based on the unique advantages of human understanding of space Memory.
First find a suitable reality Coordinates as a construction site to build the "palace".
Then, you can gradually place the information you want Memory in the "palace" of your fantasy.
During the construction process, the more detailed and lifelike the details, the more profound and indelible the Memory will be.
This palace can be as small as an office or a Dormitory, or it can be as large as a Library, or even treat the entire city as your own private palace.
But that requires an extremely powerful Mental Energy, otherwise you will be overwhelmed by the torrent of information and get lost in it.
Beginners can start with the most familiar places around them, such as their own home or school classroom.
After mastering the proficient "decoration" skills, you can slowly expand your territory and continuously extend the space.
Upon thinking of this, Fang Cheng's eyes sparkled and he quickly scanned his bedroom.
The specific effect of this Skill Special Effect is not yet clear, but I think it should not be too different.
Fang Cheng glanced at the warning Prompt Information issued by Panel, then stood up from the desk, sat cross-legged on the bed, and prepared to meditate Meditation.
Restore your spirit to peak condition first before trying again.
