The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 4 Investigation
Dak secretly observed carefully...a bit like a gay voyeur among gays.

The general levels are between LV10 and LV13...but it feels like there's more than that?
The strongest guy among them, who looks like a muscular monster, is at level 15.

"Young man, I'll feel embarrassed if you stare at me like that," Zhang Xiwen said.

It was just a joke, he didn't mind being admired for his muscles.

But Dak's gaze on the burly man obviously attracted other people's attention.

Everyone knows about the gym.

It’s not that relationships between same-sex people are chaotic, that’s the content of the classes that private instructors sell.

There is a joke here: "Moderate fitness attracts the opposite sex, while excessive fitness attracts the same sex."

"Hahaha, um... sorry, sorry."

Dak suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Well, to be honest, looking at those two big pectoral muscles really makes me want to touch them.

Dake originally thought that he, a fat boy, was already quite strong.

But looking at the guy in front of me, his arms are as thick as my thighs, it still seems outrageous.

Like an enhanced version of the Muscle Golden Wheel.

Although I am at level 8 and this guy is at level 15, the difference is almost half.

Speaking of this, Dak is also very curious... What kind of performance can the Lv20 doll have?
This guy is level 15. If he fights against me.

I’m afraid he can beat me 10 times.

Punch a kid.

After one punch, he would kneel on the ground and beg me not to die.

Since this ghost system has no attributes such as physique, spirit, speed, strength, and defense, Dak has no way to intuitively judge the power gap.

This thing can really only be said to be a manifestation of talent, right?
Are the levels written randomly?
"Brother, do you want to practice for a while?"

Looking at Dak, Zhang Xiwen also noticed something.

Haunted by evil spirits or something?
Are you in bad luck?
Can see some black air.

interesting.

"? Can I?" Dark asked curiously.

“No problem, just for the experience.

I am a VIP customer here, so I do have this privilege."

Zhang Xiwen said.

In fact, many people come to the gym just to experience it for the first time, and will only apply for a membership after they are sure they want to work out there.

So it is normal to experience it.

"Thanks, what's your name bro?
My name is Dake." Dake said politely.

He doesn't know much about the gym, so it would be nice if someone was willing to guide him.

"Zhang Xiwen."

The name is quite delicate and suitable.

It's just that it looks stronger than a bear.

...After taking Dak to experience several instruments.

"Brother, how long have you been training your muscles here?"

Sitting aside to rest, as the distance was close, Dak focused his attention on Zhang Xiwen.

Name: Zhang Xiwen
Level: LV15
Health: 95%
After seeing Zhang Xiwen's attribute chart, Dak began to doubt the system's capabilities again.

I don’t quite understand how the system identifies, judges, and classifies.

Apart from being more precise for oneself, the effects on others...to put it nicely, are very vague, and to put it bluntly, are completely useless.

Anyway, Dak is very skeptical about the level of this system.

“Me?
I'm... uh.

Eight or nine years, right?" Zhang Xiwen's tone was a little hesitant. It was obvious that he had never paid much attention to it before, and now he was a little uncertain.

"Brother, why do you want to work out?

Fitness is a long-term process, and you won't see any results in a short period of time. Listen to my friend's advice, if you have a sudden urge, don't waste the money. If you want to lose weight, you can.

If you really want to get as fit as us, it will cost you a lot of time and money.”

Zhang Xiwen advised.

He spent a lot of money, and even more time.

If you want to get a body like a bodybuilder and stay healthy at the same time, you can't just take strange drugs.

Instead, you should seriously use various precious supplements to maintain your body.

Being poor in literature but rich in martial arts is not just an empty saying.

Of course he was talking about fitness.

I even less support bodybuilding and drug use as they shorten your lifespan.

"I just wanted to practice some martial arts. I was looking at some martial arts gyms and clubs nearby."

Dake is honest. There is nothing to hide.

"Practicing martial arts?
I'm not saying anything bad to you, brother, but this is something that people usually practice from a young age.

You look older than me..."

Zhang Xiwen also wanted to complain. When he was a child, he practiced martial arts and paid attention to many basic skills.

To get started with cultivation one needs to take various medicines.

There are also many specialized terms and metaphors that need to be learned specifically. Even if someone who is not from the same school gets the martial arts secret book, normally the best result is that he or she will not be able to achieve anything great.

It is possible that you will ruin yourself by misunderstanding the meaning of certain words.

Anyway, Zhang Xiwen feels that after practicing for so many years, this is how it feels.

"Is it that troublesome?" Dake asked.

He actually doesn't know much about these.

As he communicated with Zhang Xiwen, more memories of the past emerged in Dak's mind, some of which were from his time in school.

This world is full of martial virtues.

We receive this kind of education in school.

It’s just that many people can’t achieve anything by practicing it.

Generally, those who have this talent go to sports schools.

"..." Zhang Xiwen looked at someone who was a poor student.

Well, it is true that there are many people who don’t study seriously when they are in school.

Especially if you don't have this talent, you won't pay attention to it.

There are actually a lot of secrets in this regard, but they are generally not told to irrelevant people.

For example, things like bloodline and human body modification.

It’s enough for ordinary people to know that they are not qualified to practice.

"So what's your ability, bro?"

Zhang Xiwen asked curiously.

Certain rare talents also require cultivation.

"Snapped"

Dak snapped his fingers.

A small flame appeared on the index finger, like a lighter.

“Uh… man, if you want to protect yourself.

Bringing a bottle of alcohol spray or fuel or something is better than exercising."

This was Zhang Xiwen’s first reaction.

Such a small spark can only be used to start a fire, so at least it can have some combat power.

"So what is your ability, brother?" Dak asked curiously.

Most people have ordinary abilities, so there is no need to hide them.

Zhang Xiwen threw the empty water bottle in his hand upwards, and the speed at which it fell was obviously much slower.

"I can interfere with gravity a little, but it won't be of much use."

Zhang Xiwen said modestly.

Just be humble, ability is actually very useful.

"Is it……"

Dak was speechless, and the object of his speech was the system.

After Zhang Xiwen revealed his abilities.

The system has updated this capability.

The level has also been raised...

Previously LV15, now LV17.

What exactly is this judging criterion?
Could this stupid system have come from a certain cat?

After leaving the gym, I went around in circles again.

Duck wandered off into the evening.

Frankly speaking, my living environment seems to be quite peaceful, and I don’t really need to gain strength.

But Dak's heart couldn't calm down.

Would a world with supernatural powers really be so peaceful?

I don’t believe it!

Don't say I have a fear of lack of firepower!
There must be something wrong!!!
