Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 36 Night Running: The Horror of Twice the Human Limit!
Dinner is over.

The group strolled around Qianmen Street for a while.

Compared to last night when I mainly ate street food, today I not only ate but also bought some souvenirs.

Chen Baiyu bought herself a shirt with a Great Wall pattern, while her mother and aunt bought vacuum-packed Peking duck and some snack gift boxes from Daoxiangcun.

By the time we got back to the hostel, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Chen Baiyu's mother and aunt went to take showers one after the other, while Chen Baiyu looked out the window at the street scene for a while before suggesting that they go for a night run to aid digestion.

He is, after all, an adult.

Therefore, the proposal was agreed upon by both of them.

Soon, Chen Baiyu began her night run along the still brightly lit streets.

The night breeze dispelled the daytime heat, and a touch of coolness brushed against my cheeks.

Chen Baiyu, dressed in simple sportswear, walked briskly on the sidewalk, the sound of her shoes hitting the ground crisp and rhythmic, like a metronome tapping out the night.

The surrounding scenery was too clear for him to see.

The streetlights cast warm yellow glows on the ground, making even the dust on the lampshades clearly visible; the couple cuddling on the roadside bench, the flower petals clinging to the girl's hair, the boy's fingers unconsciously stroking the back of her hand—none of these subtle movements escaped his notice; he could even read the small print on the promotional poster pasted on the glass of the convenience store not far away with a single glance…

The reason for going for a night run to aid digestion is indeed partly due to that.

He recalled the scene at dinner. The hot pot set meal was already quite generous, but he added three extra plates of mutton, two plates of vegetables, and two servings of hand-pulled noodles before he felt it was "barely enough".

The aunt kept saying that the young man was at the age where he could eat a lot.

For him, this amount of food is probably more than double what it used to be, which suggests that his body's energy consumption has increased.

Like a high-performance engine, it burns out quickly and needs a lot of fuel.

I just don't know if this is a good thing.

Will such high energy demands become a burden as the power increases in the future?

but……

This is not important.

When the body becomes so strong that it requires an astonishing amount of food, its strength at that time should be sufficient to meet most of its needs.

He at that time.

Perhaps a stomp of one's foot could make the highest levels of humanity tremble.

Therefore, the thought only lingered in my mind for a short while before being dismissed.

He went for a night run this time.

The primary purpose is testing.

It is to get used to, adapt to, and carefully feel the new changes in the body today.

He needs to get moving.

therefore.

He began to gradually increase his speed.

As you accelerate across an intersection, leaning forward, you can clearly feel your muscle fibers contracting and stretching like springs. Each step carries a sense of pent-up energy and elasticity, requiring no effort at all.

I used to be out of breath after running 800 meters, but now I can run continuously for 20 minutes and my breathing is still steady. My heart rate doesn't even increase much, and there's only a thin layer of sweat on my forehead, which cools down when the evening breeze blows.

That was his real purpose in coming out.

Feel this body.

He turned into a quiet, tree-lined avenue where the streetlights were sparse and the light was much dimmer.

But in Chen Baiyu's eyes, the darkness seemed to have been filtered out by most of it. The outlines of the tree shadows, the pebbles on the ground, and even the stray cat curled up under the bench in the distance were all clearly visible, as if he were wearing a pair of natural night vision goggles.

This vision is more than one level better than level one, or rather, it has gained night vision, which clearly shows that the ability to capture light sources has been improved by more than one level.

It's unclear whether this improvement has actually altered the structure of his eyeball.

While I was thinking, I caught a glimpse of the alley in the distance out of the corner of my eye.

According to BJ, it should be a hutong (alleyway).

The alley was dark, but by the light from the distant residential buildings, you could see a figure crouching in the darkness, doing something quite uncivilized.

With his night vision, he could clearly see even the slightest movement of the figure exerting force downwards.

It's probably constipation.

Chen Baiyu raised an eyebrow.

"Going into battle without cover...that's interesting."

He couldn't help but complain.

Having overly good eyesight isn't all good; I accidentally saw this scene, which could be considered a bit of an eyesore.

He turned his head helplessly and continued running along the street.

"Hey buddy, running that fast?"

There was a shout from behind.

Chen Baiyu turned around and saw a man wearing a fluorescent tracksuit.

This person was also jogging at night and was panting as they chased after him.

He remembered this person.

The two of them just ran side by side at the intersection.

Chen Baiyu didn't pay attention at the time and unknowingly left the person more than ten meters behind.

It's probably because he watched others fight without cover at the intersection for a while, and the man jogging at night caught up, panting heavily.

"Okay."

Chen Baiyu smiled and nodded.

Then he continued running forward.

He wasn't using his full strength, but he was still clearly and consistently increasing the distance between himself and the man.

The man was clearly a little unconvinced, and gritted his teeth as he sped up to catch up, trying to walk alongside him.

Chen Baiyu glanced at him, but didn't stop walking.

I just subconsciously adjusted the rhythm.

With increased stride length and frequency, like a wind-up cheetah, the distance between them widened in an instant.

The man was stunned for a moment, and the competitive look on his face gradually turned into bewilderment.

He chased after her for about a hundred meters, watching helplessly as Chen Baiyu's figure grew smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared completely around the street corner.

in silence.

His competitive spirit subsided.

"Wow...wow...this kid is too awesome."

As he spoke, he was already panting heavily.

He had been running alongside Chen Baiyu for quite some time without seeing her stop to rest or slow down. When they were running side by side just now, he didn't see her panting heavily at all.

He, who frequently goes for night runs, is well aware of the difference between them.

People become jealous when there are disparities.

When the gap becomes too large, people will give up.

So he decisively chose to lean against a tree on the side of the street to rest and stopped chasing.

And far away.

Chen Baiyu maintained her own pace.

He didn't intend to argue.

In fact, he didn't use his full strength.

He could feel it while running.

This body can now unleash astonishing speed and endurance; if it were serious, it would have already left that man questioning his existence.

He stopped running as he crossed an overpass.

I held onto the railing and looked down.

The flow of traffic merges into a river of light, flowing slowly.

In the distance, the tall buildings were lit up with scattered lights, like stars hanging in the night sky.

The evening breeze lifted the hem of his clothes.

He took a deep breath, his chest filling with cool air, bringing him an unprecedented sense of comfort.

This is the terror of having a 2-point constitution.

This is also how it feels after stepping into the extraordinary realm.

It's not just about strength and speed, but also about absolute control over the body, an extreme perception of the environment, and seemingly inexhaustible stamina.

Everything seemed to be reborn.

Chen Baiyu smiled, turned around, and continued running forward.

The night was constantly measured beneath his feet, each step treading on the pulse of "new life".
