Li Zheng tried to put himself in Xu's perspective and simulate what he would do in that situation if he were Xu.
However, after much thought, he could not think of a way to escape.
"The lantern holder..." Li Zheng's heart moved, remembering the lantern he used to enter and exit the dark world, "Xu also had a hand in making this prop. Did he leave any back-up in it to make it convenient?
He gets away?"
Li Zheng thought carefully and felt that it was unlikely.
"The lantern holder has existed for countless years. If Xu Neng had used this item to escape, he would have left long ago. There is no need to wait until now." He shook his head, and then he was confused: "But if he didn't leave through the lantern holder, then
Where did he go? How did he escape?"
Perhaps, as Xu said, the answer will be given when the two meet again.
At least it's impossible to figure it out now.
"As long as he is still alive, we will meet one day..."
Li Zheng put his thoughts aside and said to Miriel: "I'm going to bed first. Remember to call me tomorrow morning... By the way, Zhan Zhouzhou probably hasn't found a permanent place to live yet. You can go out and help look for it tomorrow."
"Wouldn't it be better to leave this kind of matter to Fengyue?" Miriel said: "He is a local in the 375th neighborhood and is more familiar with this place. He also helped rent our house."
"Then you can't trouble others all the time." Li Zheng closed his eyes and said, "It's easy to owe others favors."
Favors can be big or small, and they are difficult to repay.
"Yeah, okay." Miriel nodded and agreed.
Early the next morning, Li Zheng was woken up by Miriel. Breakfast was already ready when he got up.
When he went out, he took Sakura with him to the Gravity Research Institute, while Miriel went out to find a house for Zhan Zhouzhou to rent for a long time.
Arriving at the Gravity Research Institute, Zhan Zhouzhou was just as Li Zheng expected. She spent the night in the medical room last night and had already started training in the gravity room she rented.
It was Fengyue who helped her adjust her gravity.
Originally, the Institute of Gravity assigned another professor, but Rothkar sent him away on the grounds of collecting more research and development data and replaced him with Fengyue. This was convenient for him to collect Zhan Zhouzhou’s training data and Li Zheng’s.
Make comparisons.
Rothkar was already in place, and when Li Zheng walked into the gravity field, his voice came from the communicator: "Why are you wearing those clothes again?"
If the competition between the two hadn't been too fierce yesterday, he would have wanted to stop them and let Li Zheng take off his combat uniform.
This resulted in that during yesterday's competition, he only collected the data changes of Zhan Zhouzhou, not Li Zheng's.
"Well, I'm used to it, sorry." Li Zheng pulled out the collar of his combat uniform and put it into the capsule, and the data about him suddenly began to change.
Rothkar looked at the changed data, and then called up Li Zheng's previous regular training data for a whole day for comparison. He was pleasantly surprised and said: "There is good news. Your improvement yesterday was a hundred times better than the results of a whole day of regular training."
About ten out of ten. I suggest that you and the fellow next door take some time every day to conduct full combat training without compromising safety. It will be beneficial to both you and her."
"Oh?" Li Zheng's expression changed: "This is indeed good news, but we just played against each other yesterday. Let's do regular training today and talk about it tomorrow."
"That's fine." Rothkar responded and said, "Then I will raise the gravity. You should be prepared."
"Okay." Li Zheng didn't take it seriously. Sixteen times gravity was easy for him. He would only feel strenuous when reaching the limit of eighteen times gravity. "Let's challenge 18.5 times gravity today. I can't do it under 18 times gravity."
I’m almost fully adapted to it.”
The training process is boring, but Li Zheng enjoys it. It is satisfying to feel that he is getting stronger little by little.
It's a pity that the 18.5 times gravity challenge failed. Li Zheng could move freely in the 18 times gravity environment, but the 0.5 times increase in gravity felt like a huge mountain pressing down, making him unable to move.
The bones were rattling. If Professor Rothkar hadn't reacted in time and lowered the gravity back, Li Zheng would have been seriously injured again today.
Miriel came back at noon. The two exchanged words while Li Zheng was resting. The house he had found for Zhan Zhouzhou had been decided. It was a bit far away from the Gravity Research Institute, almost near the factory area. It would take at least half an hour to go back and forth.
distance.
Zhan Zhouzhou didn't have any objections to this, as long as he had a place to live.
In order to express her gratitude, she agreed to practice with Li Zheng for two hours every other day as auxiliary training.
The days that followed became increasingly boring.
For a full month, Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou were immersed in training.
Li Zheng's ultimate gravity increased to 19.5, while Zhan Zhouzhou quickly increased to 15 times the gravity after taking two marrow-cleansing pills, making rapid progress.
Roskar lamented more than once that the Aquamarine people seemed to be specially designed for high-gravity environments, and their adaptability was unprecedented in his experience.
Miriel also adapted to the ten times gravity environment. Li Zheng simply rented a gravity room for her in the Gravity Research Institute and let her go in for training.
After taking four marrow-cleansing pills, her progress was not as amazing as that of Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou. Within a month, she only reached thirteen times gravity.
However, in terms of mental power nodes, Miriel has successfully condensed the third one.
The price is that Li Zheng's inventory is in short supply, and most of the twisted magic crystals he obtained previously are consumed.
As the number of nodes increases, Miriel absorbs magic crystal energy faster and faster.
In the beginning, she could only absorb one-tenth of the amount of a quasi-purple magic crystal in a day.
Now a quasi-purple level magic crystal can be absorbed in three days.
Zhan Zhouzhou also condensed two nodes, but it was not taught to her by Li Zheng, but she heard Ma Long describe it before after returning from the Raging Sin Realm, and she understood the accurate way to condense the mental nodes.
When Li Zheng wanted to teach her that day, he heard this and sighed at her ability to comprehend, which was outrageous.
As for Sakura...
Under Li Zheng's supervision, the first spiritual power node was finally condensed.
Now I am absorbing magic crystal energy with Miriel every day. Sometimes I fall asleep after absorbing a little.
Li Zheng couldn't say anything to her, so he could only pull her into the dark world while she was sleeping to continue training.
In short, except for the wishing stone that comes out of a treasure chest every day, everything seems to be developing in a good direction, and life has not caused too much trouble.
Until that day, Li Zheng just woke up and found an extra message on his inscription card.
It was sent from the terminal.
"If I need to see you, come quickly."
This is rare, the terminal actually has time to actively send him a message?
Li Zheng immediately replied: "What's the matter?"
Then he was dragged away to the center by the terminal without any explanation.
