Stray Chapter 52: Full of confidence


After all this tossing, Xia Ran's stay time is about to be reset, unless the points are used to continue to exchange time, but there is no need, he will naturally not do such a stupid thing.

Finally, he exchanged some supplies that he would need no matter what, and sorted out the item column in his private space. He quietly waited for the final countdown to finish.

So, the long "night" just passed.

In the real world, Xia Ran, who slowly opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling in a daze. After a while, he sat up from the bed and exhaled forcefully.

Looking at the alarm clock next to him, he realized that it was only six o'clock in the morning... No, it should be said that it was close to six in the morning, about ten minutes away. It seemed that no matter how long he experienced in the "dream" The time, in reality, is about one night.

I just thought it was normal before, after all, it's just a dream, no matter how bizarre, twists and turns are bizarre, long and short, isn't it just an overnight thing?

But now, after knowing that those dreams are actually real worlds in different dimensions, Xia Ran feels a little magical. But obviously, it is impossible for him to understand the specific principle.

As if she had a good night's sleep, Xia Ran, who was full of energy, had no plans to stay in bed.

He jumped out of bed lightly, and walked in circles in the bedroom, moving his hands and feet, feeling this unprecedented health... But that's all, because he had already made up for his attributes that did not meet the standard of a normal person before. .

——The physique is good, but it has been strengthened to a level higher than the normal person's qualification standard, but the spirit has been strengthened from 3 points to 30 points, and even began to show unscientific extraordinary abilities.

When returning to reality, all the enhancements will be "updated" directly to the level of ontology under the power of the laws of white space, so Xia Ran almost feels nothing. There is no strange feeling of feeling weak at first, and then quickly inflating like a balloon.

Because his ontology state was updated synchronously, reaching the same level as his previous enhancement, both in terms of attributes and abilities.

There is no transition period, so naturally Xia Ran doesn't feel anything now. He has already gotten used to the new panel. However, this did not prevent him from eagerly wanting to test his abilities, as if the experience in the mission world and the real dimension were completely different.

How to describe it?

It feels as if the power in the game is brought out into reality. No matter how many times the power is released by manipulating the character in the game, it is completely different from mastering the extraordinary feeling in reality.

When the last lamp in the bedroom was broken, there was a crisp cracking sound, and the glass **** was splashed and scattered on the ground, Xia Ran finally realized what she had done, and she was a little reluctant. Stop your hands.

Because it was still early, he changed into his school uniform in a good mood, and went downstairs to prepare breakfast and lunch for himself.

Next, he didn't waste more than an hour before going to school, but started exercising... But of course he was exercising his mental strength, not continuing to deepen his understanding of close-up techniques.

Because "Aikido", as a black iron skill, is probably a relatively low-end melee technique for mortals, even if you master it, there will be no magic, it just makes him a An ordinary person-level physique expert.

On the other hand, "Following the Breathing Technique" is a static exercise, and the foundation of many oriental exercises can be regarded as a prerequisite skill. The effect is that the mind concentrates on the breath, and moves up and down with the breath, so as to achieve the method of replacing all thoughts with one thought... It sounds very mysterious, but it is a meditation technique.

The effect is to intimidate the mind, regulate the body and mind, and achieve the effect of tempering the spiritual power. As long as you stick to it every day and repeat it endlessly, your spiritual power will naturally be tempered continuously in the breath, becoming more tenacious and stronger.

Just as increasing attributes does not necessarily require adding points, fitness running and healthy eating can also increase basic attributes such as strength, agility, and physique, but it is not as effective as adding attributes directly.

The reason why I chose such a skill is because Xia Ran has not yet systematically exercised his spiritual power and explored the potential of his soul, although he has a very solid foundation in this area, reaching a full 30 The mental attribute value of the point.

However, it is only a solid foundation, and the potential behind the attribute values ​​has not been fully developed.

For example, 1 point of Mental Attribute of an untrained ordinary person is equal to 10 points of Mental Power. This is actually just the range of innate ability to exert, but it is far from reaching the real limit.

Perhaps after some related skill training, 1 point of mental attribute can produce 11 points of mental power, 12 points of mental power, 13 points... or even 20 points of mental power, 30 points of mental power, or even more.

In other words, such a basic meditation technique for tempering spiritual power is very necessary for the route he currently chooses. Increasing the mental attribute value is only secondary, and directly increasing the quality of mental power is the most important.

Minds and breaths come in and out naturally, mind and breath depend on each other, mind and breath follow, without interference...

It is a bit difficult for people without training to enter the state, but Xia Ran does not have such troubles. The skills enhanced through white space, whether using causal crystals or directly using skill scrolls, will have the effect of all the same.

That is directly to the level of specialization.

As if he was a master who had been immersed in this way for more than ten years, he entered the state very easily, and slowly fell into a strange state of being without any delusions, like sleeping but not sleeping. In this state, his consciousness is ethereal, and only breathing and breathing exist.

It seems to be unaware of the passage of time, but it is able to perceive the outside world.

I don't know how long it has passed, but he slowly withdrew from this state. The time was exactly when he was going to go out. The mental attribute value did not increase, but Xia Ran did not expect such an immediate effect. He just felt his state carefully——

Confirming that my mental power seems to be fine-tuned to the best state, and my body feels natural and comfortable, I can't help but let out a light breath.

In addition to tempering spiritual power, this basic meditation technique can also play a role in rest. The mechanism is similar to sleep, but it can also perceive the outside world and leave at any time... This effect can be said to be of great significance, Xia Ran felt that she would no longer have to think about the troubles caused by long nights and unintentional sleep.

……

……

Arrived at school on time, entered your class, and sat in your seat.

Xia Ran looked at the soft morning light outside the window, and watched the cherry blossoms bloom and fall at the end of their blooming season. In addition to feeling that her sense of time had become a little chaotic as always, she also felt that everything in front of her was so beautiful.

Today's campus is so peaceful, and there are no strange cases of corpse killing in daily life, and there is no need to worry about the infestation of man-eating monsters.

He can also really relax and enjoy the rhythm of high school life, instead of thinking all day long how to fight wits and bravery with those cannibals, fight them hard, and even endanger his life at any time ...

If it goes on like this, his spirit will go wrong, and he can hardly help but wonder if he is about to awaken his anti-social personality because of the accumulation of too much negative energy.

"That...Xia Ran? Good morning."

An unfamiliar voice interrupted his thoughts.

He looked back and found that it was a somewhat impressive boy standing behind him, with short hair and a pair of big round glasses... Well, it seems like more than two months ago, please A person who helps out with a game plan.

Oh, not more than two months ago, according to the timeline of the real world, it should be yesterday... was it yesterday? Or the day before yesterday?

Forget it, my sense of time probably won't save me, so I don't have to force it. And this is not important, what is important is the name of this classmate?

Xia Ran thought for a while, and habitually raised his hand to push the glasses, but he pushed it empty, but he had already remembered the other party's name, and his dark eyes flashed a confident light:

"It's you, Ito-san, good morning."

“…”

“…”

The boy opposite was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said with a bit of laughter: "Student Xia Ran, stop joking, I'm An Yilun, not Ito... Could it be that I should call you Xia Ran? Teacher?"

An Yi Lun didn't take this title seriously. After all, normal people wouldn't think that the name he told a certain person last night was forgotten this morning, so he naturally thought it was a joke. .

However, he also thought a little too much. Could it be that the teacher was joking with his name, implying that he should be respected?

Actually, he also wanted to call the other party's teacher, but he just felt that the other party was acting so low-key, and he probably didn't like it because it attracted too many people's attention, so he didn't call him that.

Huh? Isn't his name Makoto Ito? Did you remember it wrong?

Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, but it was very short-lived. He immediately reacted, pretending that nothing had happened, and hit haha:

"Well, just kidding, An Yi... By the way, are you here to ask about that game project?"

It's really a joke, and An Yilun has no doubt that this great classmate still remembers what he promised himself, so how could he forget his name?

He shook his head and said in a relaxed tone: "No, I just want to say hello to Xia Ran, and it's only been so long, no matter how you look at it, it's impossible..."

"I've already written half of the script. It should be finished before school this afternoon. I'll give it to you directly then." Xia Ran patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him.

"Huh?"
