Lu Sheng placed a glass of water on the table, followed by a pile of food. It was dry bread and cheese bought from the convenience store downstairs. There were also some chocolates from a brand he had never heard of before. They were all wrapped in the special gray paper shell of the convenience store, which added up to a high calorie content.
Since he was going to undergo a qualitative change, he naturally needed to be fully prepared.
Lu Sheng took off his shirt and looked at himself in the mirror. His body was much stronger than Jack's, but he was far from his limit.
Beep, beep.
Car horns screeched crazily outside.
Lu Sheng walked over and opened the curtains to take a look. All of London was shrouded in a layer of gray fog. Through the fog, he could see that two cars seemed to have collided downstairs, and the drivers were harshly honking at each other.
Occasionally, there were people who stopped to watch, but most of them looked hurried and numb as they quickly walked away.
Ah!
Suddenly, a scream came from the dark city in the distance. It was a woman's scream.
Such a scream was common and could often be heard in London at night.
"Which tramp scared a passerby again? Or did a passerby get into an accident, or was she simply raped …"
Lu Sheng's heart was calm. Such things could be seen in the newspapers the next day. London in this world was too messy …
"Alright … I have to start …"
Knock knock knock.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Jack, a letter from your family."
It was the postman near the police station.
"Thanks." He walked over to open the door and took the two letters from the postman.
After closing the door, he tore open one of the envelopes.
On it was a letter from Jack's father, Old Jack. It was about the murder in the building he was renting, and he was worried about it.
Also, his sister was about to get engaged, and he was asked to rush home in the middle of next month to attend the engagement ceremony.
Finally, there was the letter about the black locust flowers that Jack planted in the past blooming. Also, Old Dog Henry hurt his leg yesterday … The rest was a small matter.
Putting down the letter, Lu Sheng tore open another letter from Berlin.
The sender was Kelly King.
She was Jack's biological mother, and his ex-wife after her divorce with Old Jack.
The letter also mentioned the concern about the murder that happened upstairs. At the same time, if possible, he hoped that he could give up his career as a police officer and work in a relatively safe position.
This kind of persuasion was not rare in Jack's memory, but this was the first time it was so sincere and detailed.
Kelly carefully mentioned the recent cases of several police officers who had died in the line of duty in Berlin and repeatedly persuaded Jack to go over to her side. He also mentioned that Germany and France were not on good terms recently, and there was a high possibility of a political dispute. He hoped that Jack would go over as soon as possible.
Compared to Old Jack's letter, Kelly's letter was colder. Although the feelings revealed between the lines were very real, it fully reflected the characteristics of the two of them.
Old Jack was nostalgic, warm, and concerned about the people and things around him.
On the other hand, Callie Kim only paid attention to the things she cared about and paid no attention to the people around her. It seemed even colder.
Putting down the letter, Lu Sheng quickly walked to the desk and wrote a reply to each of them.
Old Jack was fine, but his mother, Kelly, was different. He needed to choose his words carefully. Callie was not someone who could be easily fooled.
The original reason why Jack didn't want to go over was mainly because he didn't want to suddenly insert himself into his mother's circle.
She was already divorced and had her own circle of life. She was already very, very far away from him.
She had her own brand new family, her own brand new relationships, and her own completely different living habits, atmosphere, and laughter.
It was a circle that he couldn't integrate into, and he didn't want to.
He wasn't young anymore. He just wanted to find a good girl, get married, have children, and live the rest of his life.
This was the original Jack's deep thought.
…
…
Berlin.
Inside a milky white manor with a typical domed palace.
Callie Kim held an umbrella and slowly strolled on the grass. She pulled her long blonde hair and slightly narrowed her eyes as she looked into the distance.
In the eyes of outsiders, she was the standard career woman. She was successful in her career, elegant and intellectual. Other than her cold personality and strong ability, she had no other shortcomings.
But only she knew that deep in her heart, she still had feelings for that family.
Not for that person, but for her own son, who she had been pregnant with for ten months.
Since a long time ago, because of a car accident, she was found to be infertile. She began to value her only son, Jack.
Now, as she grew older, this value also became stronger.
"Boss, is it still about Jack?" A woman with a brown ponytail approached from not far away and brought her a cocktail.
"Yes, Jack is still doing his little police job … I thought he was just fooling around. I didn't expect him to be in such big trouble now," Callie Kim replied calmly.
Callie answered flatly. She didn't look like she was close to fifty at all. Her skin was well maintained. Coupled with her exquisite makeup, she looked no different from someone in her thirties.
"Jack is also thinking for your sake. After all, you are no longer the you of the past. He doesn't want to be a burden to you. "The woman shook her head slightly.
More than ten years ago, Callie married the current Berlin businessman, Kapo, and truly became one of the people at the helm of the Kapo family's business. Compared to the bitter days of the past, the current Callie was completely a member of the upper class.
And most importantly, she married Kapo when she owned a business that wasn't much worse than the Kapo family's. It was a marriage of equals.
Therefore, in the Kapo family, she had a lot of say.
"I understand, but I feel that this is unfair to Jack. What Selena and Braun can enjoy, he should have a share too," Callie Kim said calmly.
Selena and Braun were both Kapo's biological children. She treated them like her own.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Selena said she wants to go to Vilna to play. Is she leaving now?" Callie Kim asked as she took a sip of her drink.
"She has already left. Also, regarding Young Master Braun's expenses to study at Alensco University, it has been settled. We are ready to leave at any time, "the woman replied quickly.
"See what else he needs. Also, add another five thousand pounds to his account every month. Don't mistreat yourself in school. You still need to have basic social interaction. "Callie was equally good to her two children who weren't her biological children.
"Alright."
"Also, for this year's end of year festival, let them prepare and get in touch with their brother." Callie knew that there was a big gap between the two sides. Her circle and Jack's were two completely parallel lines.
But she didn't want her son to be isolated.
"Remember to bring him over during the festival."
Although Jack seemed very uneasy every time he came over, Callie still decided to let the three children get closer.
She made up her mind.
"Alright." The woman wasn't surprised. After all, she invited Jack to attend the family banquets here every year. But she wasn't very happy about it.
…
…
"Something's not right …" Lu Sheng manipulated the recovered Earth Qi to nourish his body.
He was about to start strengthening this body's Vitality Art when he suddenly had an idea. He wanted to try and connect with the Demonic Realm's beacon with his main body's spirit.
Every time he descended, his main body had the right to use its power to connect with the beacon from the Demonic Realm.
But when he suddenly had an idea to connect with the Heavenly Demon Beacon, he strangely realized that the beacon had disappeared.
"What's going on?! Bansai shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake! " Lu Sheng's heart sank. He finally understood the source of the uneasiness he had been feeling ever since he arrived in this world.
He tried more than ten methods of communication. He used Divine Veins, runes, overlapped formations, Earth Qi, probed the rules of space, and searched for traces of spatial remnants. Unfortunately, there was still no response.
There was no response from the beacon they had agreed upon.
After a series of trials and tribulations, Lu Sheng's expression was terrifyingly dark.
He couldn't go back.
Not only was there no beacon to return to, but he couldn't even leave this space.
The entire space seemed to have become extremely sturdy in an instant. It was incomparable to when he first entered.
This feeling of being able to enter but not leave reminded Lu Sheng of the Indefinite Cult Master.
"This isn't a coincidence!" Lu Sheng inhaled deeply. "But no matter what, I should stabilize myself in this world first."
The power system of this world was no different from that of ordinary Earth.
Under normal circumstances, it was difficult to mobilize energy. The air was not as rich as the countless energy and Primal Qi in other worlds.
"Deep Blue."
Lu Sheng's expression turned solemn.
"Pchht."
A light blue interface popped up.
Lu Sheng scanned the internal state of his body with his spirit. He adjusted his breathing and relaxed so that his blood flow would stabilize.
"Let's begin …" He focused his gaze on the modify button at the bottom. He pressed it lightly.
Then, he quickly shifted his gaze to the bottom frame.
"Blood Qi Formula, level one. (All attributes increase by one level. Each attribute increases by 0.1.) "
'This increase by one level is for each attribute. In fact, it's about a 10% increase. Now that I have Earth Qi to nourish and repair me, I'd like to see if I can increase it to the limit. '
Lu Sheng calmed his slightly agitated thoughts.
'Increase Blood Qi Formula to level two.'
With a pchht, the frame for the Blood Qi Formula blurred.
Two seconds later, the frame became clear. A sliver of Mental Energy surged out of his chest. It quickly turned into countless thin threads and spread throughout his body.
Lu Sheng could clearly feel his body expanding and becoming stronger. His entire body, including his internal organs, felt a slight itch. The Earth Qi quickly nourished and helped him repair his strengthened injuries.
Ten minutes later …
'I've become stronger again …' Lu Sheng clenched his fists. He could clearly feel that his body had improved by a large margin.
'Looks like I'm still far from my limit. Let's continue … Blood Qi Formula to level three … '
Soon, another sliver of Mental Energy surged out of his chest. It turned into countless thin threads and spread throughout his body.
This time, his body seemed to have adapted to it. It improved even faster. Lu Sheng could even hear the faint sizzling sound of his body being nourished and strengthened.
'Continue, increase to level three …'
'Increase to level four …'
'Level five …'
'Level six …'
'Level seven …'
