What a wonderful feeling.
So everyone else felt this tangible sense of their strength steadily increasing every day?
How nice.
But why hadn't she felt it?
And why could she finally feel it now?
Xu Zhi had once wondered whether her body possessed some special constitution, like the "good-for-nothing" constitutions protagonists in novels always had, unable to absorb energy. Was she somewhat similar?
But Xu Zhi did not think she had a "good-for-nothing" constitution. After all, her luck and everything she had gained through her current improvements proved that even if she was special, it should be the kind of specialness possessed by a chosen one. She only felt that there had to be some reason she could not normally absorb the energy within the Black Fog, and could only barely absorb the tiniest trace of it in the City Center.
She had asked the Game Console about this long ago, but had received no answer. Still, Xu Zhi was not in a hurry. As her strength grew, she learned more and more. One day, she would learn everything she wanted to know.
Rather than dwell on questions she could not answer for the moment, Xu Zhi preferred to focus on the present.
Having tasted the energy within the fog, Xu Zhi realized that the energy brought by the thick fog in the City Center was probably far more immense than she had imagined. After all, she had never been able to sense the energy in the fog and had never had a clear concept of it. Now, even a "wooden block" like her could barely absorb this energy, much less the Aberrations that stayed here every day.
If they could also normally absorb the energy in the fog, then she would have to be even more careful.
