"Heh, you're not scared, are you?" Buddy laughed. Everyone knew that the recent murder took place above Jack's house.
"I heard that you know the couple?" Buddy asked curiously.
Lu Sheng nodded speechlessly.
"That's why I don't want to go back. I feel like the ceiling is bleeding when I sleep on the bed. "
"Alright then. You go in first. I still need to be on duty. We'll talk later when we have time. "
"Okay." Lu Sheng passed through the iron gates of the police station and fished out his ID from his shirt pocket. He showed it to the guard and strode into the police station compound.
His superior was a bearded man in his forties. He was a contradictory person who was arrogant to outsiders but gave preferential treatment to his own people. Moreover, the murder happened above Lu Sheng's house.
Hence, he was quickly forgiven. He applied for his own accommodation in the dormitory. After registering his information, he could stay in the dormitory every day. At the same time, he would be provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
With that settled, he went straight to the dormitory with his key. His powerful spirit's intuition told him that there might be more trouble ahead.
He had to improve this body's ability as soon as possible, or else …
After entering the dormitory, Lu Sheng took off his dirty jacket and went to a nearby convenience store to buy some food and daily necessities.
Then, he quickly returned to his room and began the strengthening journey of his Arrival.
The dormitory was a single room. There was only a wardrobe bed and a set of furniture. Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on the floor of the room.
The dim yellow light above his head exuded a faint warmth.
"This body is too weak …" Lu Sheng raised his hands and moved his joints. His bones made a faint cracking sound. This meant that he rarely moved, and some joints did not move properly. That was why there was such a crisp sound.
"The rules are very restrictive, but it's fine. With Deep Blue here, nothing will be a problem. "
Lu Sheng stroked his chin.
"What's strange is that I clearly remember that before I Arrived, the preset time flow wasn't this speed …"
He suspected that he was affected by something. However, he could not use earth energy now, nor could he expand his spirit, so he could not do anything else.
"This world has the most basic vitality. I can walk the path of vitality. Since supernatural powers exist, I should be able to walk this path as well. He just needed to verify which aspect of supernatural power was not restricted here. It would be best if I can find the local power system here. "
Lu Sheng stretched out his palm. He bit his index finger hard with his other hand and quickly drew a series of small symbols.
Each symbol represented any Sacred Sigil or derived energy rune he knew. from Poison, to Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, and other derived attributes …
Soon, all kinds of symbols were densely arranged in his palm, forming a small piece of something that looked like an essay.
"Alright … Thirteen power symbols, all basic symbols. Let's see which one can mobilize basic energy."
Lu Sheng retracted his finger, got up, found some gauze and alcohol, and carefully disinfected and bandaged the wound.
After that, it was time for the extremely boring test. The blood symbol on the palm needed to be coordinated with breathing, spirit, and voice at the same time. Only then could it be activated.
Lu Sheng retracted his finger and got up to find gauze and alcohol, disinfecting and bandaging the wound.
"Could it be that the rules are stopping the activation symbols?" Lu Sheng felt helpless. He could only stop for now.
* Thud thud thud. *
Suddenly, the door opened.
"Who is it? I'm bathing! "Lu Sheng asked loudly after a pause.
"It's me, Harson. We have a meeting tomorrow. The chief has something to say. Madona will lead the team on the eighth. There's a new clue for the murder case above your house. You're part of the team, remember not to run around." A rough male voice came from outside.
"New clue … alright. What time do we meet?" Lu Sheng asked.
"Two o 'clock. Don't miss it. I'm going to eat now. "Harson said and quickly left.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in the living room. He vaguely sensed that there seemed to be some kind of unknown giant hand in the dark, slowly reaching out to grab him from an angle that he couldn't detect.
"Deep Blue." He called out in his mind.
The light blue interface popped up and floated in front of him.
Lu Sheng put aside the main frame of his body and thought about the various Vitality cultivation methods he was proficient in.
Although he could not release his spirit, he could still look inside.
"This body has too few skills … I'll have to start from scratch."
Because he was not clear about the rules and restrictions of the world's energy, Lu Sheng simply organized a simple cultivation method to train his Vitality.
This cultivation method could only increase his endurance, strength, and a little speed through food and physical exercise.
These were the parts that could naturally be increased through the simple increase of Vitality.
Of course, there were other things like immunity. These were all naturally increased when his Vitality was strong.
"This cultivation method should add some external and hardening skills to increase my defense and survivability … I should add some footwork to increase my speed and reaction time to dodge in case I can't deal with firearms …"
"It won't work if I'm injured and my recovery speed is weak. I should add some parts to speed up my recovery …"
"And endurance … I should focus on strengthening it. That way, I can wear protective measures like a bulletproof vest to increase my defense …"
"And this … I should add this as well … or else …"
"And this as well …"
Half an hour later …
Lu Sheng looked at the new unknown cultivation method in Deep Blue's frame. He felt an indescribable pain in his balls.
"Unknown cultivation method: Uninitiated. (Each level increases strength by 0.1, speed by 0.1, endurance by 0.1, reflexes by 0.1, immunity by 0.1 …)"
There were still a bunch of physical fitness items after that.
'The result of piling everything up is that everything is too balanced. Too balanced means mediocrity … '
Lu Sheng understood this principle.
'Fortunately, I have Mental Energy. Increasing mediocrity to the extreme might make me omnipotent. However, the key is that this is an indirect enhancement based on increasing Vitality and using it to nourish the body.
'Then … let's begin …'
This set of cultivation method was a set of things that he had sorted out based on his knowledge of cultivation methods, experience, and comprehension. He could complete the first three levels on his own.
'I'll name this cultivation method … Qi Blood Formula.'
Lu Sheng decided on the name simply and clearly.
'Upgrade Qi Blood Formula to the first level.' He subconsciously pressed the modify button at the bottom of Deep Blue's interface.
Then, he looked at the cultivation method's frame with familiarity.
"Hiss …"
The frame blurred for a moment, then quickly became clear again.
"Qi Blood Formula, first level. (All attributes increase by one level.)"
"Urgh!"
The instant the frame became clear, Lu Sheng immediately felt his body swell up. His entire body was like a balloon that was being inflated. Every part of his skin felt swollen.
This swollen pain was completely different from the cultivation methods he had cultivated in the past. It was a pain that spread from the inside out. Even his spirit felt like it was being torn apart. There was not a single part of his body that did not hurt.
Compared to this pain, the pain from the cultivation methods Lu Sheng had cultivated in the past was on a completely different level.
This cultivation method's original goal was to improve his body in all aspects. He did not expect that the comprehensive and balanced improvement of his body would result in a completely different transformation.
"My divine soul … is growing!!" Lu Sheng's extremely huge Void Underworld spirit was also being nourished and improved by this comprehensive improvement.
Although it was only a slight increase, this was a small world. In the past, he could only fuse with his soul after his karma was settled, and his spirit would grow. However, in this place, he could directly cultivate and improve his spirit.
'Something's wrong! This world! 'Lu Sheng was immediately on guard. If every world was like this one, he would have been invincible a long time ago. He could find a place with a huge difference in the flow of time and cultivate for tens of millions of years. Then, he would definitely beat up the Palaeozoic and kick the Star Spirit when he returned.
17 units of Mental Energy were slowly expended before it finally stopped.
'It's just an improvement in all aspects by one level, and it requires 17 units of Mental Energy …' Lu Sheng endured the pain and noticed this.
Whether it was the effects of the cultivation method or the specific consumption, there was something wrong with this world.
The pain lasted for a few hours. It only ended when it was past three in the morning.
When it was over, Lu Sheng lay on his back on the floor. He was weak, and his body was weak. He did not want to get up at all.
A layer of dark red filth seeped out of his skin. It was the impurities and tainted blood that had been expelled from his body after he was strengthened.
'I've only improved by one level, and it's already so painful …' After lying on his back for a while, Lu Sheng slowly stood up. He quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After washing himself clean, he did not bother to put on his clothes. He walked directly to the mirror on the wardrobe door.
'The excess fat on my body is gone. My muscles are becoming more streamlined. My bones have been adjusted as well. It's more suitable for me to exert my full strength.'
He extended his arm and punched forward.
"Pcchht!"
His fist flew out and retracted.
'Indeed, my speed and strength have all improved. Even my dynamic vision, reaction speed, and so on have all improved.
'However, my internal organs, muscles, and bones seem to be overwhelmed. I'll have to adjust them slightly before I can proceed to the next stage of improvement.'
Any kind of strengthening, even for Deep Blue, had to be carried out according to the laws of the external environment.
Muscles and bones were made of materials that had durability and lifespan. After major adjustments, they still needed time to be nourished and repaired. Otherwise, the entire body would collapse. It would not be worth it.
After resting for a while, Lu Sheng felt hungry. He quickly took out the food he had just bought and stuffed a pile into his mouth. However, he felt that it was not enough. He put on his clothes and went downstairs. He bought a pile of food from the All-Day Convenience Store and brought it up.
If he wanted his body to completely adapt to the strengthening this time, he would need at least three days to proceed with the second strengthening. However, he had to start his mission the next day. Lu Sheng had no intention of leaving his identity as a police officer.
