Naturally, Zhang Heng wouldn't believe everything the old man said, but the timing of the book's appearance was indeed a big problem. So for the time being, Zhang Heng decided to put this matter aside for the time being. Recently, he spent most of his energy familiarizing himself with and controlling the extra pair of shadow wings on his back.
Of course, to avoid scaring passersby into having a heart attack, Zhang Heng practiced during the time halt.
Unfortunately, he only had twelve seconds a day. After two weeks of training and exploration, Zhang Heng had basically mastered the use of the wings, and he wouldn't have to land face-first anymore.
During his last practice, he climbed to the 405-meter-high radio station, looked at the city below him, took a deep breath, and took a step. After that, his body began to fall under the influence of gravity, and his speed became faster and faster. When he was only about a hundred meters from the ground, Zhang Heng closed his eyes and meditated on the crow in his heart.
After that, a pair of shadow wings spread behind him, helping him to slow down his fall. After a while, he flew to a residential building in the distance.
Zhang Heng calculated the time and finally landed on the roof of a building.
Just as his toes stepped on the concrete floor of the rooftop, the wings behind him retracted and disappeared. The whole landing process was very smooth. Of course, Zhang Heng guessed that if he became more proficient, he might be able to perform more complicated movements in the air. He could use them to avoid some ground attacks or adapt to extreme natural environments.
But for now, being able to spread the wings and land smoothly during a dangerous fall was already a preliminary goal. This meant that he would no longer be in danger of accidentally falling to his death in the future.
Other than that, this pair of wings also added an option for him to get out of trouble. Since the usage of Shadow Moment and Evil Wall was exhausted, although Zhang Heng had more and more game items on him, he didn't have any items that he could use to get out of trouble in a critical moment.
But now that he had this pair of wings, his safety was indeed another layer of protection.
And it must be admitted that flying had always been a human's dream. As early as ancient times, there were murals about flying. At the same time, this desire ran through many civilizations. Whether it was Western mythology or Eastern mythology, there were gods, demons, and ghosts with wings on their backs.
Although with the development of science and technology, people invented hot air balloons and airplanes that could take them into the sky, it was a completely different concept from flying freely. Even if it was only for a short period of twelve seconds, Zhang Heng did indeed have the ability to fly like a bird.
He could look down at everything beneath his feet from the sky above the city. Freed from the shackles of the earth, he looked at the familiar scenery from a completely different perspective. Everything became fresh to him. Unfortunately, twelve seconds was not enough for him to fly to the clouds. Otherwise, he would have reached out and touched the dark clouds.
…
After the start of the proxy war, one of the biggest problems was the shortening of the interval between the dungeons. Previously, they would have to travel to the next dungeon once a month. Now, they would have to enter the proxy war dungeon in the middle. Although their physical condition would return to before they entered the dungeon after the end of the dungeon, the mental fatigue would not be eliminated.
Fortunately, this wasn't a big problem for Zhang Heng, and he had an extra 24 hours. In fact, his rest interval was twice as long as other players.
Therefore, two weeks after the end of the previous proxy war dungeon, Zhang Heng returned to the game checkpoint and started the next round of the ordinary dungeon.
Before that, he learned about Shen Xixi's score in the first round of the proxy war – 325 points. Of course, it wasn't a low score, but it wasn't too high either, especially after the top three guilds began to work hard. Basically, Shen Xixi would be able to participate in the next round of the game. However, she was only ranked in the sixties now, and her ranking was still slipping.
Zhang Heng didn't know if Shen Xixi had held back or if there were other reasons, but he had only seen Shen Xixi fight once. It was during Yogurt's incident that night. The small scale probably had the ability to attack the soul. When Shen Xixi used it, it was as if her words were the law.
Zhang Heng guessed that it should be a Grade-B game item. Besides, as Justitia's agent, Shen Xixi should have other abilities. Of course, Shen Xixi's attack method had its limitations. She could only use it on enemies with evil attributes. She failed to intercept Shen Dongxing that night. Of course, she was an excellent decision-maker. If her team members were around, she would still have ways to maximize the abilities of each team member.
Her current ranking did not represent her true strength. Besides, Zhang Heng finally gave up his first place, and he was overtaken by the third place player. Apparently, the third place player had entered the second proxy war dungeon. Zhang Heng didn't care about it. Anyway, according to the bartender, the reward for the first to 50th place was the same.
That was why he continued to play his normal dungeon games step by step.
However, Zhang Heng was a little worried about Meinan. After the proxy war started, she disappeared again, and she hadn't replied to Zhang Heng's message until now. The last time the two met was at McDonald's.
At that time, Meinan's condition wasn't very good. She looked a little thinner, and she refused Zhang Heng's offer to help her.
"I've asked about the situation over there for you," the bartender's voice sounded in his ear. "You can get it in four days at the earliest, or a week at the slowest. You should be able to make it in time for your next proxy war dungeon."
"Well, thank you very much." Zhang Heng sat down and took out the alarm clock. There were less than ten minutes left before midnight. He could only put Meinan's matter aside for now. He had to focus on the next dungeon.
After setting the time, he lay down on the card seat, waiting for the familiar dizziness to hit him as usual.
