The master massage techniques that Xu Cheng learned from Sarina were truly extraordinary.
Qiu Gongyue was pressed out of her body, speeding up her blood circulation and metabolism. Sure enough, the toxins on her body soon became ineffective, and she gradually regained her physical strength.
Xu Cheng respected Qiu Gongyue, so he just had some verbal disputes with her without hitting the nail on the head.
After taking a shower, the two of them lay on the bed together. Qiu Gongyue lay on Xu Cheng's chest, silently listening to his heartbeat and learning the fifth-level breathing method.
Xu Cheng had a premonition that Qiu Gongyue might leave Japan and go to the headquarters of the deceased, so he told Qiu Gongyue in advance all the key points of the breathing method for promotion to the fifth level, including the dangers of promotion.
Qiu Gongyue could feel Xu Cheng's heart, but she didn't say anything like thank you.
The emotions between the two no longer need to be expressed in words.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue got up and left the apartment and returned to Santa Maria Cathedral.
According to Furuta Tsutomoto's soul statement, every time he robbed an ability user of their ability, he would freeze the blood and place it in the Cathedral of St. Mary.
His boss would send someone to pick it up the next day, never missing a beat.
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue's plan was to stay here and follow the people sent by the Chong Mysterious Society.
This plan was good, but the two waited for a whole day, and no one came to take the blood of the ability user.
"It seems that the situation here has been known to the Chong Mysterious Society."
Xu Cheng looked at Qiu Gongyue: "Go back, there is no point in waiting any longer."
Qiu Gongyue nodded, agreeing with Xu Cheng's judgment.
Xu Cheng summoned Lulu through his mobile phone again and took the two back to Tokyo.
After the two separated briefly, Xu Cheng immediately used the teleportation after the mission to return home, and then immediately cleaned up all traces in the home.
In less than twenty minutes, Qiu Gongyue rushed back.
"Akinomiya-san, are you back from your business trip?"
Xu Cheng was sitting in the living room drinking tea, looking like he was at home leisurely: "It's been very chaotic outside recently. Big trees have fallen from the sky. Are you okay?"
"I can go home, do you think something's wrong with me?"
Qiu Gongyue bypassed Xu Cheng and checked around the house, but found no trace of anyone else moving in.
This surprised her slightly. She originally thought that Bai Yuelin would definitely move in after she left.
Now it seems that Xu Cheng has kept the bottom line and did not let other women live in this home.
Xu Cheng looked at Qiu Gongyue who had returned to the living room, and raised his legs: "Checking around, are you worried about a thief at home?"
He was now extremely glad that he had rejected Bai Yuelin's request to move in, otherwise the two of them would have had to fight today.
Qiu Gongyue will not tolerate other women living in the house she bought with money.
Qiu Gongyue glanced at the proud Xu Cheng: "I'm not afraid of thieves, I'm afraid that some vixens will sneak in while I'm not at home and kidnap the family dog."
When Xu Cheng heard her calling him a dog, he immediately retorted: "Hey, then who got wet by a dog? Is it a little bitch?"
After saying that, he hurriedly hid aside, and a fruit knife grazed his body and was nailed into the back of the sofa.
"Akinomiya-san."
Xu Cheng pulled out the fruit knife: "You are a chef, not a killer. Don't throw away weapons."
"Hmph, who told you that chefs don't throw away weapons?"
Qiu Gongyue thought of Xu Cheng getting wet on her bed last night, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She glared at him, then turned and walked into her bedroom.
Soon she came back with the tools and started tinkering around the house.
Xu Cheng came over curiously: "Qiugong Sang, what are you doing?"
Qiu Gongyue said something that made Xu Cheng's heart stop: "Aren't you worried about being robbed at home? I'm installing surveillance cameras at home."
She looked back at Xu Cheng and gave a meaningful warning: "You must protect these monitors and prevent them from being dismantled. Otherwise, you will reinstall them as many times as you dismantle them."
The corner of Xu Cheng's mouth twitched slightly. If it were in the past, he would definitely refuse Qiu Gongyue's request to install surveillance. After all, he was the real landlord at that time.
But it's too late now. Now Qiu Gongyue is the real mistress of this mansion. She wants to install surveillance cameras, but Xu Cheng can't stop her at all.
Now he finally experienced the difficulty of eating soft food.
If the rich woman wants to play some new tricks, you, a freeloader, can't refuse.
Qiu Gongyue successfully installed surveillance cameras inside and outside her home without missing any blind spots. Moreover, this time she installed it openly, so she was not afraid of being discovered and removed.
Seeing Xu Cheng's deflated appearance, Qiu Gongyue was in a very happy mood. It was rare for her to cook him a table of Chinese food from her hometown to comfort his injured soul.
As night fell, Xu Cheng published a rare updated chapter, fulfilling his previous promise. He was indeed a good author who kept his promise.
Then he opened his personal properties.
【Xu Cheng】
[Exercise: (5) Breathing Technique lv1]
[Equipment: Killer Card, Ability Card]
[Special: Right hand that breaks the realm of extinction (sealed), Vulcan remains (strengthened)]
[Task Points: 10]
[Evaluation: Although I often ask for leave, delay updates, and interrupt updates, I know that I am a good author]
"Fuck, are you going to scold me again?"
Seeing the dog management's comments, Xu Cheng suddenly became angry.
[I didn’t mention names]
"Damn it, I don't know who you are trying to spite?"
If the dog manager hadn't jumped out and issued a task every time he wanted to update, he would have become a code machine with hundreds of thousands of updates a day.
[Please host not to deceive yourself]
"you shut up."
Xu Cheng had no time to argue with the dog manager. He took a look at the mission points and found that they had accumulated 10 points.
He said in his heart: "Upgrade Chaos Energy for me."
If it were before, Xu Cheng might have continued to save, but after the disaster struck, the world changed too quickly, and a large number of ability users emerged.
According to Dr. Fujiwara's theory, once the base of ability users is large enough, high-level ability users will be born quickly.
For example, level five superpowers, or even level six in the theory of existence.
There are also organizations that are suspected of being old gods, such as the Mysterious Society, and they are suddenly active.
The rapid changes in the world made Xu Cheng begin to suffer from a phobia of insufficient firepower.
In his opinion, the fifth-level breathing method and the remains of the Vulcan were not enough. Even Yaoguang couldn't deal with it.
Therefore, upgrading Chaos Energy is a necessary option.
[Task Point-10]
[(Super)Chaos Energy lv1]
At the moment of upgrade, Xu Cheng noticed a light breeze appeared in the room, gathering towards his body, and getting stronger and stronger.
Thinking of the strange situation when upgrading the fifth-level breathing method, Xu Cheng immediately loaded the killer card, and then opened the magic eye of insight.
Under the observation of the magic eye, one can see that a large number of spirit seeds in the air are rapidly flowing into his body.
Xu Cheng once heard the manager say that the limit of ability cards is level 4. If you want to upgrade to level 5, you need to forcibly expand the upper limit of your ability to accommodate spirit children.
Now he was in the process of expanding the upper limit. Xu Cheng thought it would be as painful as when he upgraded to the fifth level breathing method, but this time he didn't suffer. Instead, he was blown by the cool breeze, which was quite comfortable.
Fortunately, the capacity of the spirit in the air is large enough, otherwise he would have to go to the spirit tomb to upgrade.
Ten minutes later, the ability card has been expanded to a new upper limit.
At the fourth level, chaotic energy changes in form and can freely switch between solid, liquid, and gaseous states.
Now Xu Cheng is very curious and looking forward to what changes the fifth level can bring. It should be a change in nature.
[Please host choose the upgrade direction]
The manager's beep suddenly appeared, and then a skill tree appeared in Xu Cheng's mind.
Below is the chaotic energy, and then branches out into several branches, pointing to seven different attributes.
Water, fire, thunder, earth, metal, plants, special.
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean, I can only choose one of them?"
[When there are enough mission points, you can choose to upgrade them all]
Xu Cheng felt relieved now. If he could only choose one of them, he was really afraid of rising to the wrong skill tree.
Although this upgrade was a change in the nature of chaotic energy as expected, I didn't expect that there would be so many options.
I have to suspect that this is a trick played by the dog management to make money.
"What's the last special thing?"
[Special substances are randomly formed, with special effects such as poison, corrosion, viscosity, soft elasticity, fire resistance, etc.]
Got it, the last special thing is to open a blind box. Even the manager doesn’t know what it will look like after the upgrade.
Faced with these seven skill directions, Xu Cheng finally decided to choose the thunder attribute after thinking for a long time.
As for fire, Xu Cheng already has it himself. The water attribute and the Vulcan Relics restrain each other and cannot cause superimposed effects.
Earth is really too earthy and is useless except for being able to withstand beatings. The same goes for metal, which relies solely on physical damage for its lethality.
The plants were also restrained by the remains of the Vulcan, and they set fire to the mountain and sat through the bottom of the prison.
Special substances are more about appearance, and Xu Cheng has always been a dark-faced type. Every time he draws a card, he is guaranteed to be wrong.
So after much thought, only this thunder attribute is most suitable for him.
First of all, he is very handsome, matches his appearance perfectly, and has high attack power. He can be fused with the remains of the Vulcan to create an overload effect.
Moreover, after upgrading the thunder, water and metal can be upgraded to form special effects of induction and conduction.
"Upgrade thunder attributes."
【update successed】
Xu Cheng opened the ability card.
[Character card: ability user]
[Talent: Emotion Master (Enhanced)]
[Ability: (Thunder) Chaos Energy lv1]
He opened his hand and created chaotic energy in the usual way, forming a dark red energy ball in the palm of his hand.
As he thought, this dark red energy ball changed rapidly, brightening in an instant, and turned into a tangled ball of dazzling thunder.
Electricity itself has no sound, but when the electricity reaches a certain intensity and is exposed to the air, it will vibrate the air and produce a crackling discharge sound.
At this time, Xu Cheng's room resounded with a crisp popping sound, and a large amount of electricity was released from the thunderball in his palm, constantly penetrating the air.
"Xu Cheng!"
Qiu Gongyue's voice sounded outside the door: "What are you doing?"
"come in."
Qiu Gongyue pushed the door open and immediately showed a surprised expression when she saw the dazzling thunder ball in Xu Cheng's palm.
"You...have regained your abilities again?"
Because of the story Xu Cheng made up, Qiu Gongyue imagined that he became an ordinary person because of amnesia. With the recovery of his memory, his abilities were gradually recovered.
Now this situation has verified her speculation, otherwise how could he suddenly have the ability of lightning.
Xu Cheng opened his mouth, then nodded: "Yes, I have found my ability again. This time it is with the thunder attribute. Isn't it handsome?"
He pinched his hand and extinguished the thunder ball in his palm.
"I am no longer an ordinary landlord, but a landlord with super powers."
Xu Cheng warned Qiu Gongyue: "Tell your killer friend not to bully me again in the future."
Qiu Gongyue rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Tell her yourself."
It will be a bit difficult to bully him using Xinyue's identity in the future.
It seems that she also needs to upgrade her identity as a chef with some force.
"I want to go out."
Xu Cheng said goodbye to Qiu Gongyue after putting on his coat. He couldn't wait to go out and experiment with the power of thunder chaotic energy, which was a fifth-level superpower.
"Then you should come back early."
Qiu Gongyue did not follow, she still had too many things to consider.
After leaving home, Xu Cheng came to a nearby river.
Although a provisional government has been established in Tokyo, order has not been restored, and the entire Japan is now in a state of anarchy.
What's more, the upper echelons of Japan knew Xu Cheng quite well, so he didn't need to find a remote place.
The bridge over the river was broken by fragments of the World Tree and has not yet been repaired. Both sides of the river were quiet, with not a single soul in sight.
Xu Cheng stood on the broken bridge and first tried to discharge the electricity to the greatest extent.
After reaching the fifth level, chaotic energy was continuously produced from Xu Cheng's chest like an ocean, and there would be no shortcomings of being exhausted in the future.
This chaotic energy was converted into thunder and lightning in Xu Cheng's body, and then reflected from his body surface.
In an instant, Xu Cheng's entire body was swallowed up by the dazzling lightning, which almost illuminated both sides of the river.
Thick electric currents penetrated the air, making a harsh sound, traveling along the bridge, leaving orange-red traces like magma on the concrete floor.
In the blink of an eye, the entire broken bridge was wrapped in electric current. The steel beams on the bridge generated terrifying heat under the strong current, quickly glowed red and began to melt.
When the entire steel beam of the broken bridge was about to be dissolved, Xu Cheng finally ended his discharge.
All the thick current disappeared, and the air was filled with acrid smoke.
Xu Cheng switched to the Vulcan state and soared from the broken bridge. Dazzling lightning and flames began to gather on his arms, forming a ball of thunder flames that kept burning and discharging.
He waved his hand at the river, and a thunder flame with a diameter of more than thirty centimeters shot out, falling straight in the middle of the river, exploding into a huge spray of water tens of meters high, covering both sides of the river.
This power has exceeded the cloud explosion bomb, but the thunder flames in Xu Cheng's hands are still outputting.
He waved his hand, and the thunder flames sliced vertically across the river like a sharp sword.
Boom!
The splash of water that was blown up in the spacious river was like a huge city wall, or like a row of mountain peaks. Thousands of tons of water that was blown up finally fell with a rumbling sound, turning the river into a surging pond.
The thunder flames continued unabated, cutting across the broken bridge, cutting the bridge into two pieces like tofu. The section was stained with flames and kept burning.
Xu Cheng withdrew the thunder flames, extremely satisfied with the power of this move, which was more than ten times more powerful than pure flames.
This move has both thunder and fire, so let's just call it Thunder Fire Sword.
