Although Grandmaster-level had just received attribute rewards, Fang Cheng did not immediately immerse himself in joy and choose to add points.
He took a deep breath, forced to calm down his turbulent mood, and glanced around him warily.
The sky is completely bright.
The old Sleeve Building underfoot, as well as the scattered buildings around it, were all clearly bathed in the morning light.
On Street, various sounds made by people who get up early.
The honking of cars, the shouts of breakfast vendors, and the crisp ringing of bicycles are intertwined and gathered into a prelude to the city's awakening, floating faintly up to the rooftop.
Fang Cheng raised his hand and glanced at the piece of Sports Watch on his wrist.
6:53.
It's almost time, Mom should get up soon.
Fang Cheng quickly collected the training equipment scattered on the rooftop one by one, then moved them gently and walked quickly down the stairs.
When I got home and opened the door, my mother Li Biyun was already up.
She was wearing simple home clothes and was busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.
The porridge cooked in the pot exudes a faint aroma of rice.
My mother works as a nurse in a hospital and is used to getting up early, even at home.
"Cheng Cheng, are you back from exercise? Go and wash up quickly. Breakfast will be ready soon."
Li Biyun saw his son covered in sweat, with a smile on his face and didn't ask any questions.
"I got it, Mom."
Fang Cheng responded, put the equipment in the corner of Living Room, and then got into the bathroom.
Unscrew Faucet and splash cold tap water on your body, taking away the heat and fatigue after morning exercise.
While scrubbing his body, he focused his attention on Panel.
[Strength:40]
[Agility:40]
[Constitution:46]
[Spirit:50]
[Free Attribute Points:12]
His eyes swept over the four main attributes, and finally stopped at the column "Constitution".
After Spirit Attribute reaches 50 points.
Fang Cheng can clearly feel that his sensory acuity, thinking clarity, and control over his own state have made a qualitative leap.
So, what changes will Constitution bring if it breaks through 50 points?
Fang Cheng is thinking about how to add some points.
Powerful Constitution means stronger body defense, faster recovery, and better endurance.
These are vital foundations for any combat situation.
Especially when performing a move like "Infinite Combo" that puts a huge load on the body, having a strong body is undoubtedly a huge help.
After all, to punch continuously at the speed of sound requires not only explosive strength but extreme agility.
What's more needed is a strong body that can withstand the terrifying reaction force and energy impact.
And Constitution is the cornerstone of all this.
Fang Cheng After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
"First add Constitution to 50 points!"
The mind issued the command, and the number representing "Free Attribute Points" on Panel instantly jumped from "12" to "8".
Correspondingly, 4 o'clock Free Attributes is also silently integrated into "Constitution".
As Progress Bar continued to soar upward, a warm and majestic energy suddenly emerged from the deepest part of his body.
Like a river thawing in spring, it flows quickly to all limbs and bones.
Under the infiltration of this warm current, every cell seemed to be moaning with joy.
Muscles, bones, internal organs... every component of the body is undergoing some kind of wonderful and profound transformation with abundant vitality and nourishment.
Fang Cheng clenched his fists and could clearly feel at this moment that his muscle fibers had become stronger and his bone density was quietly increasing.
The functions of internal organs have also been significantly improved, and the heart beats more steadily and powerfully.
This feeling is completely different from the violent expansion or extreme compression when strength or Agility Attribute broke through 40 points before.
It is more like a sublimation of life Essence, a comprehensive and holistic strengthening from the inside out.
After a while, when Heat Flow gradually subsided, Physique Attribute stayed firmly on the number "50".
Fang Cheng felt the changes in his body carefully.
I found that the overall reaction caused by Constitution breaking through 50 points this time was not as violent as when any attribute exceeded 40 points before.
It seems very natural, as if it should be that way.
"If we follow past experience, 20 points is the threshold for a Supernatural, and 40 points is a Major Milestone for a Human Limit."
"So, will the next threshold of Qualitative Change be 60 points?"
Fang Cheng whispered thoughtfully.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly focused, as if he noticed something.
His eyes involuntarily fell to the bottom of his lower abdomen, at the Dantian position.
Under the inner view.
There, there is still a vast, calm and blue sea.
As for the depths of this tranquil ocean, there is a faint red light as bright as lava.
It is still like a dormant Submarine Volcano, with hot and majestic energy surging in the dark.
Everything seems to be the same as before.
The only difference is...
The water level of this "Ocean" has dropped significantly compared to before.
"The total amount of True Qi... has decreased?"
Fang Cheng frowned slightly.
This discovery surprised him.
I recalled it a little bit.
A while ago, although I did consume a lot of True Qi due to using Qi Gong to fight strong enemies and subsequent healing.
But every time I return home, I will immediately take out Ancient Remains from the safe and absorb Energy Radiation in time to make up for the loss.
Moreover, in today's morning exercise, Fang Cheng only used Breathing Technique to guide True Qi to operate and restore some physical strength.
Logically speaking, this level of consumption should be extremely small.
Why has the total amount of True Qi dropped significantly?
Fang Cheng pondered for a moment, Spirit Light flashed in his mind, and he vaguely grasped the key to the problem.
From the perspective of modern anatomy, there is no clear organ called "Dantian" in the human body.
In other words, Dantian is simply a fictitious thing.
It is only in Qi Gong and Alchemy theory that it is imagined to be the center of energy gathering and operation of the human body.
Practitioners can use Visualization and specific Breathing Technique to gather, refine and mobilize the energy in the body, which is the so-called "qi".
Although the specific part of Dantian cannot be found in reality, the human body itself is a complete world.
Every tiny movement will trigger a chain reaction in other parts of the body.
Every breath of Aura, every drop of blood flowing, are all in the "Microcosm" of the human body, forming a complex and exquisite circulatory system.
"If we say that my body is like a container..."
"Then, the stronger Constitution is, the stronger the material of this container will be and the larger its volume will be."
"In this way, the more True Qi, that is, Life Energy it can accommodate and carry, the more it will naturally!"
"The more full the Life Energy is, the stronger the individual's Life Force will be, and the body's recovery speed, endurance, and ability to withstand blows will all increase accordingly."
"On the other hand, when the volume of the container suddenly expands due to the breakthrough of Constitution in a short period of time, but the total amount of energy stored inside does not increase accordingly, the water level will naturally drop significantly."
To understand it from this perspective, the so-called "Dantian" or the "True Qi sea" seen from within is more like a Materialized manifestation of one's own physical strength, which is Physique Attribute.
After figuring this out, Fang Cheng suddenly felt enlightened.
Then he took a long breath and turned his attention to Attribute Panel again.
At this moment, there are 8 points left in Free Attribute Points.
Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Cheng made a decisive decision and added all 8 attributes to strength.
A familiar Heat Flow emerged from the body again.
But this time, it did not bring about the rapid expansion of muscles and exaggerated changes in body shape like when it broke through 40 points.
Fang Cheng can feel that his muscles are tighter and more bulging, full of explosive power.
From the outside, he also looks a little stronger than before.
However, the overall body shape of the person has not changed much.
It is just an increase in pure strength, which has not yet reached the level of Qualitative Change.
"Gululu..."
A clear bowel movement Crying Sound sounded from the abdomen at an inappropriate time.
Fang Cheng touched his belly helplessly.
Every time you add points, it is always accompanied by huge energy consumption.
Take a look at Panel after the updated value:
[Strength:48]
[Agility:40]
[Constitution:50]
[Spirit:50]
Fang Cheng quickly took a shower, put on a clean T-shirt and casual pants, and walked out of the bathroom.
The early morning sunlight shines softly through the windows of Living Room, casting mottled light and shadow on the floor.
On the dining table, Li Biyun has placed a sumptuous breakfast neatly.
The steaming white rice porridge is cooked just right, with the rice grains blooming and exuding a light fragrance.
Next to it are two attractive golden poached eggs, fried to a slightly crispy edge.
A plate of emerald green and refreshing stir-fried seasonal vegetables seems to be carrying the morning dew Aura.
What is even more eye-catching is a cage of white and plump meat buns, with the full fillings vaguely visible inside.
Next to it is a cup of warm milk and a small plate of homemade pickled radish, which is bright and attractive in color.
"Come over and eat, Cheng Cheng."
Li Biyun took off his apron with a gentle smile on his face.
"It's very hard to get up early every day to exercise. Mom specially prepared more of your favorite food."
"Thank you, Mom."
Fang Cheng felt warm in his heart, pulled out the chair and sat down.
Then he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a hot meat bun, and took a big bite without ceremony.
The soft dough and the delicious Beef filling instantly bloom on the taste buds.
What seemed like a simple home-cooked meal seemed particularly sweet and delicious in his mouth at this moment.
After high-intensity morning exercise and extra energy consumption, the body is in urgent need of energy replenishment.
Although Fang Cheng deliberately controlled the speed of eating and did not want his mother to notice anything strange.
But the instinctive hunger still made him subconsciously speed up his swallowing movements.
Li Biyun looked at his son devouring his food, his eyes filled with love and a hint of imperceptible distress.
She stretched out her chopsticks and picked a poached egg into Fang Cheng's bowl.
"Eat slowly and don't choke. If it's not enough, I'll fry a few more eggs for you."
"Well, well..."
Fang Cheng's mouth was full and he responded vaguely a few times.
After swallowing the food in his mouth and taking a sip of milk, he regained his composure and said with a slightly apologetic smile:
"Mom, the buns you made are so delicious. I haven't felt so comfortable eating them in a long time."
Li Biyun heard this, his eyes were slightly moist, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
For more than half a year, because of my father's treatment for gastric cancer, I spent the whole day running between the hospital and home, and I really neglected to take care of my son.
Fortunately, the most difficult days are finally over, and the family's financial conditions are much better than before.
She sighed secretly, and then a happy smile appeared on her face.
"From now on, mom will cook these delicious foods for you every day to keep you strong."
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
"By the way, Cheng Cheng, do you still remember the child named Xiao Bao in the next ward when your grandpa was hospitalized?"
Fang Cheng paused slightly as he picked at the porridge in the bowl.
Of course he remembered the little boy who had leukemia but was extremely sensible and well-behaved.
There is also the couple who traveled around to treat their child and even borrowed Loan Sharking.
It was in the hospital that he stopped the gangsters who came to collect debts, and thus got acquainted with Ma Donghe by accident.
"What's wrong, Mom? Xiao Bao's illness..."
Fang Cheng asked in confusion.
Li Biyun smiled and waved his hand and said:
"No problem. Last month, Xiao Bao's leukemia treatment Surgery was very successful!"
"His father Master Wu brought his child to the hospital for a follow-up visit a few days ago. The doctor said he was recovering well. Master Wu was so happy that he bought a few bags of Tangerine, specially given to us."
"Hey, the family is finally getting through it, and we finally have hope for this day!"
Upon hearing this news, Fang Cheng's slightly raised heartstrings quietly relaxed.
In my mind, I can't help but think of the scene I saw when I passed Mind Resonance -
In a slightly old but clean and tidy home, Xiao Bao sat in front of Television, obediently lying on Coffee Table to write his homework.
That little face was filled with a healthy blush.
A smile unconsciously rose from the corner of Fang Cheng's mouth.
"That's great."
He said sincerely.
Halfway through the meal, the porridge in the bowl was also bottomed out.
Li Biyun asked casually while putting away his dishes:
"Cheng Cheng, do you have any plans for this afternoon?"
"I remember, you will be participating in Graduate Student's Final Round at the end of the month, right?"
She just had a day off today and didn't have to go to the hospital to work.
The resignation procedures previously completed will be officially effective on the 20th of this month.
As for the decoration of Wanghu Town's new house, Li Dingjian is personally watching over it, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
Therefore, Li Biyun has a rare free time today and is planning to go to Lone Peak Temple outside the city with his son.
Worship the Bodhisattva, burn incense sticks, and pray for your son to have good luck in the exam and be admitted smoothly.
Fang Cheng picked up the milk cup and drank the last mouthful of warm milk.
As if he had expected this question from his mother, he replied calmly:
"Mom, I have an appointment with my colleague this afternoon, and I may not be back until later."
When Li Biyun heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing, his eyes instantly brightened, and he stared at his son firmly.
"A date?"
She asked tentatively:
"Is it a female colleague or a male colleague?"
Amused by her mother Bagua's appearance, Fang Cheng shook her head helplessly.
"It's a male colleague, Mom."
Then he put down the cup, with a usual calm smile on his face, and explained:
"When I first joined that company, there was a senior who took special care of me and helped me with many work problems."
"It seems that something has happened to him at home recently, which is quite troublesome. I thought I would go over and have a look and see if I could be of some help."
This reason sounds reasonable and consistent with Fang Cheng's always helpful character.
"Oh, so that's it."
Li Biyun nodded, with a disappointed expression on his face, but still warned:
"Okay, go ahead. It's your duty to help your colleagues, but don't push yourself too hard."
"If you come back late, give mom a call."
"I got it, Mom."
Fang Cheng responded.
He didn't tell his mother the truth.
Because the place he was going to in the afternoon was neither a company nor a colleague's home.
But it is located in the suburbs, the Orphanage named "Home of Morning Light".
Fang Cheng wants to see it with his own eyes.
How will the "Demon Hunt Operation" event that was carefully planned by Noah Organization target Cheng Jiashu and possibly affect innocent children unfold?
As for myself, what attitude should I take to intervene in this deep water that is about to be muddied?
