Garon was getting more and more impatient as he lost his source of attributes, and there were no clues about the old man's death.
On top of that, he would occasionally run into problems with the inheritance of his uncle's business. Some of the boys and girls from Lombarth's mother's family would come looking for trouble with him.
This made him even more annoyed.
Seeing Fei Baiyun walk out of the training hall, Garon glanced at the attributes at the bottom of his vision.
Strength 2.43. Agility 1.21. Vitality 1.88. Intelligence 1.51. Potential 498%. White Cloud Secret Arts: Mastery (Level 4) Explosive Fist Arts: Intermediate White Cloud Combat Arts: Intermediate
"All four attributes increased by 0.01, too slow …" He sighed. "It's useless for me to train like this, so I should just increase the attributes."
He looked at his strength again, and after three seconds, his strength slowly increased from 2.43 to 2.63.
"I can increase it again?" Garon was happy, but he suddenly realized something was wrong. "Why is it only increasing by 0.2 this time?" He carefully checked his other attributes, and it was indeed only increasing by 0.2. He didn't add it to the other lines.
"What's going on?!" He took a deep breath. "Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me …" He didn't think too much about it, and continued to look at the Explosive Fist Arts. This was what he really relied on. When he fought with Number Ten, and when he fought against the telekinesis, he relied on this absolute shock and defense to win.
The Explosive Fist Arts not only increased his defense, but also his attack.
Unexpectedly, after looking at it for a while, a few red symbols slowly appeared at the bottom of the attribute pane, and it seemed to be an explanation.
Garon glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed.
"Ability explanation? After collecting the information about talents and abilities, the attribute points can be used to increase a low-level ability by one level, an intermediate ability by two points, and an advanced ability by five points. Also, the learning and leveling conditions must be met. The inability to level up may be due to incomplete information. "
"If you absorb the same potential attribute for too long, you will develop resistance, and your body's improvement will be reduced to a certain extent."
Garon easily understood the meaning of this row of symbols.
"No wonder the attribute points were getting lesser and lesser. I've always felt that something was wrong. In the beginning, there was no problem at all. Later on, when the ratio suddenly changed, the attribute points actually decreased. It's just that I didn't notice. Now, after a long period of accumulation, the reduction has already reached a qualitative change. I only noticed it after a reduction of 0.1. "
His gaze fell on the Explosive Fist Arts skill. A symbol slowly appeared behind the skill. It was the missing condition to level up this skill.
"Five attribute points."
Garon frowned slightly. The last time he leveled up the Explosive Fist Arts, he had used the Body Tempering Pill from the dojo and attribute points. If he wanted to level it up this time, he would need five attribute points!
He only had three points left.
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have increased my strength …" He punched the wall beside him in frustration. "Two more points … I have to think of a way! It's just that I have to attend the exchange meeting the day after tomorrow … "
The practicality of the Explosive Fist Arts was not ordinary. Almost half of Garon's effort was spent on it. If he leveled up this fist art to the same level as his master, there would definitely be a qualitative change in his strength. In addition, Garon himself was someone who had reached the limit of his strength attribute. The power of leveling it up to a higher level was something that even he could not imagine.
Coming out of the dojo, Garon carried his clothes and walked to the side of the row of cars outside the door.
In a black car, Ge Reese poked his head out.
"There's news from Detective Dale."
"Oh?"
Garon opened the door and sat down beside Cynthia. He glanced at Cynthia who was chewing something. "What's in your mouth? It smells so bad."
Cynthia giggled and spat out a piece of black stuff from the car window.
Garon's gaze then returned to Ge Reese. "What's the news?"
Ge Reese glanced at him from the rearview mirror and said carefully, "After the incident at the Silversilk Castle, Dale Quicksilver and his group left the province and went to Blue Bay City in Eph Province. The incident here has come to an end. A few of the middle-ranking members of the Golden Hoop were arrested. They also received a request for help from the police headquarters there. "
"Do you know what happened exactly?"
"It seems to be related to the explosion that night and the murder case at Dolphin Antiques in Huaishan. As you know, Pennington Street is a high-end residential area in Huaishan. It's not like other places. With such a big thing happening, it's not only the local governor's office that's shaken, but even the officials in the province are very angry. That's why Dale Quicksilver and a few other famous detectives were invited to investigate this case together. "
Garon frowned slightly. "There are quite a lot of cases in Huaishan, and many of them are homicides. How could a case like this cause such a big commotion? There are usually a lot of homeless and beggars who die in alleys, but I don't see them getting so worked up. "
Beside him, Cynthia laughed. "You don't know. The main reason is because of the Silversilk Castle. The people of the Golden Hoop are too arrogant. They actually went against the police and killed a lot of policemen. The impact is very bad. The higher-ups have already set up a special investigation team to investigate this case. The murder case at the antique shop happened at such a tense time. This is like stepping on the face of the provincial police headquarters. It would be strange if they weren't angry! This is called committing a crime against the wind! The newspapers and magazines are happy. "
"So … the place Dale Quicksilver and the others went to is related to the antique shop murder case?" Garon's face darkened.
"Yes, the police headquarters there sent news that a similar murder case happened in a small town there. An old woman who owned an antique shop also went missing. It's said that the old woman is related to the old man at Dolphin Antiques. The two of them often exchange letters, "Ge Reese explained.
"Exchange letters?" Garon's face tensed up. "Ge Reese, I'm going to the martial arts conference with my master the day after tomorrow. During this time, help me keep an eye on Dale Quicksilver."
"No problem."
"What about me?" Cynthia came over, bored. "Take me with you. I can warm your bed ~ ~ ~" She pouted her pink lips and smiled.
"I'll go with my master. You're in charge of protecting my family. Is that okay?" Garon pushed her away. He didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing.
"Ugh … so heartless … It's rare for a girl to take the initiative …" Cynthia pretended to rub her eyes pitifully.
"Okay, stop fooling around." Garon was speechless. "Dale Quicksilver is very good at investigating. Maybe he can help me find what I want … You guys have to keep an eye on him at all times."
"Okay."
*****
Two days later …
Woo ~ ~ ~ ~!
In the Huai Shan Fire Station, a brownish-red wooden train slowly spewed out black smoke and slowed down. Finally, it stopped inside the station.
On the side of the rectangular platform, there were a dozen or so people standing sparsely. There were men and women, old and young among these people. Most of them were carrying suitcases and wearing windbreakers or overcoats. Their entire bodies were wrapped up tightly.
After waiting for the train to stop, the train door was pushed open by the conductor inside.
"Get on! Get on!" The white-bearded conductor shouted. "The passengers in the ninth carriage are boarding! This is the train to Hera. Don't get on the wrong one! "
The dozen or so passengers lined up and boarded the train one by one.
Among the passengers, there were two people, one old and one young, carrying a red leather suitcase. They were both wearing black overcoats and black round hats. They were Fei Baiyun and Garon, who had set off from the dojo.
The two of them didn't stand out in the crowd of passengers.
Garen followed behind the master, and after showing his white license plate to the train attendant for inspection, he carried his red suitcase and stepped onto the train carriage in two steps.
Standing at the boarding gate, the left side was the sealed compartment, and the right side was the entrance.
"Why are you still standing here? Our seats are inside. Hurry up and get in, don't block the way, "Fei Baiyun turned around and said to Garon.
"Oh." Garon had never seen such an ancient train before. He felt that it was a novelty, and his movements were a bit slow. He hurried a few steps forward to catch up with his master.
The inside of the carriage was brownish-red. The inner walls of the carriage had brownish-red wood grain. The entire train was built with this kind of wood.
Every four seats were arranged in two rows. They looked like rectangles, distributed on both sides of the carriage, with an aisle in the middle.
There weren't many people in the carriage. The master and disciple walked past five or six rows of seats, and finally stopped at the left side of the middle back. Two of the seats were already taken. It was a young man and a young woman. They were dozing off with their heads tilted to one side. Both of them were dressed very well. They were both wearing plain white long sleeves and trousers. Moreover, these two people seemed to be brother and sister. Their faces were somewhat similar, and they both had silver-white hair.
"Are you sitting outside or inside?" Fei Baiyun looked at the two and pointed to Garon's seat.
"I'll sit inside." Garon didn't stand on ceremony and took the seat inside.
Fei Baiyun smiled and didn't say much. He slowly sat down as well.
The two young people heard the sound and opened their eyes slightly. They didn't say anything and continued to sleep in their original positions.
Garon sat down and carefully looked at the two people opposite him. He noticed that the girl's hands were full of calluses, and her nails were short and thick. They looked very rough.
"Master, how long do we need to take the train this time?"
"Not far, about three days." Fei Baiyun took off his hat and patted the dust off it.
"Three days …" Garon sighed softly and stuffed the suitcases one by one under the seat. Then he leaned against the window and stopped talking.
