Life Dungeon Game

The process was not very smooth.

Sito's talent is not bad, but he is too old. Even though he has been working out for many years to maintain the use of a certain energy circuit in his body, it cannot prevent the circuits in his body from aging.

Most of the circuits within Situ's body are open, with few blockages, but these circuits show a clear trend of narrowing.

Moreover, these aging circuits have no ability to recover, so He Ao cannot inscribe strengthening circuits on these circuits. He can only use his divine sense to guide the energy to flow in the manner of strengthening circuits, thereby reducing the dissipation of energy.

In fact, He Ao had been exploring ways to use the strengthening circuit in his body since last night. Only after he saw results and confirmed that there were no problems did he dare to perform the 'marrow cleansing and bone-refining' on his granddaughter.

This wisp of energy quickly flowed through He Ao's limbs and then gathered in his chest cavity.

After a full cycle, a small portion remains.

He Ao continued to channel this small amount of energy into his body and then opened his personal attribute panel.

[He Ao (Sito)]

[Privilege Level: Advanced Player]

Physical fitness: 1194 (8)

[Skills: Talent Sequence 272: Super Memory (C-rank), Basic Firearms Mastery (Soul Part), Talent Sequence 72: Stealth Mage (C-rank) (Unusable)]

Mechanical modification: None

[Martial Arts: Qi Refining to Spirit Transformation (Rank C) (Partial Usability)]

My physical fitness level improved from 7 to 8.

This is the result of He Ao's cultivation last night without sleep.

Sito has great talent, both in terms of the smoothness of his internal pathways and the efficiency of his energy absorption.

If he had been lucky enough to obtain the Body Tempering Technique when he was young, his achievements might have been less than Rigitt's, but not by much.

西托

Although he has been working out, he has never had a physical training method similar to body-strengthening techniques.

His fitness routine only helps him stay healthy and maintain a slightly higher level of physical fitness than the average person, preventing him from being overwhelmed by high-intensity work.

Of course, Sito's decades of practice have not been entirely without effect.

Shortly after He Ao opened his personal attribute panel, the last bit of energy completely dissolved into He Ao's body.

Under He Ao's watchful gaze, the physical attributes on the personal attribute panel quickly changed from '8' to '9'.

Like Rigitt's body, Sito's body has developed a good ability to absorb energy after long-term training.

In the early stages of practice, there's no need to worry too much about your body's capacity; just keep pouring energy into it.

Furthermore, He Ao's divine sense guided the flow of energy, maximizing its utilization and enabling a rapid cultivation speed in the early stages.

However, it's still very difficult to achieve the same level of physical exertion as Rijette.

"how do you feel?"

He Ao closed the attribute panel and gently patted the back of the girl who was hugging him.

“Those lumpy things aren’t running around anymore,” Jiaxi said in surprise. “They seem to know where the path is.”

It seems that the reinforcing circuits engraved in Jiaxi's body also serve to guide the flow of energy in some way.

"Did Jiaxi try to guide these lumps forward according to the method Grandpa taught you?"

He Ao slowly released the girl in his arms and asked with a smile.

"Ok!"

Jiaxi nodded vigorously.

He Ao smiled and patted his granddaughter's head.

Last night he was guiding his granddaughter to feel the presence of those energies.

He called this ability to sense "qi", which is actually the most difficult step in entering the world of martial arts.

This 'qi sensation' is equivalent to sensing something that exists within your own body, and it's a sensation that arises from nothingness.

Some people can grasp the basics immediately, while others can't seem to get it no matter what.

Of course, this may also be related to 'comprehension'.

Like when Annie tried it for the first time, she felt the presence of energy.

Perhaps because she wasn't focused enough, Jiaxi only succeeded after several attempts, and even after sensing the presence of energy, she couldn't properly guide its flow.

Until the early hours of this morning, the little girl woke up from her dream and saw He Ao sitting by the window reading and practicing meditation. In her dazed state, she suddenly grasped the secret.

Then He Ao brought her to the balcony to cleanse her marrow and bones.

"Grandpa, it looks like the sun is about to rise."

Jiaxi turned her head and looked at the pale dawn on the horizon.

"Yes, the sun is out."

He Ao glanced at the sky and slowly stood up.

"Grandpa, what are we having for breakfast?"

Jiaxi raised her head and looked at He Ao.

"Grandpa, go pack your things, let's go out to eat."

He Ao smiled and led his granddaughter into the house. "By the way, Jiaxi, you can't stop the energy circulation that Grandpa taught you."

"it is good!"

The little girl nodded and rushed towards the old smart TV in the living room. "Grandpa, I'll play some games."

Watching her granddaughter sit down on the sofa

He Ao walked back to his bedroom.

The old book he had been reading was still on the desk in the bedroom.

The notes found elsewhere in the book were all written by Kavi when he was a child; there are no more recent notes.

He Ao spent the whole night going through all the books in the house, but there was no trace left by his son before he disappeared.

So in the end, he returned to the original book.

The notes in this book mention two things: 'pollution monsters' and 'pollution cleanup agencies'.

"Pollution Monster" seems to be the name of a monster; I wonder if Victor from last night falls into the category of "Pollution Monster".

The Pollution Cleanup Division appears to be a department specifically tasked with dealing with these pollution monsters.

According to Kavi's notes, the 'Pollution Monster' and the 'Pollution Cleanup Division' have always existed, but Sito has no memory of these things in his nearly seventy years of memories.

Therefore, these things, like the extraordinary world, were probably buried in the shadows.

Did Kavi come into contact with these things under some circumstances?

Was this so-called 'pollution' the cause of the Kavi couple's car accident?

Based on the system's past practices, main quests are often related to dungeon characters.

Could the 'Winding Hill' in this main quest be related to this so-called 'pollution'?

Kavi mentioned in his notes that he had never seen any pollution while he was studying in Dawn City.

At that time, Kavi probably hadn't been exposed to the extraordinary world yet and didn't know what the extraordinary world of Dawn City was like.

However, He Ao was somewhat familiar with the extraordinary world of Dawn City. At the same time, He Ao was also certain that although Dawn City was infiltrated by various strange pollutants, there was no monster species that could be called 'pollution monsters' or a department called 'Pollution Cleanup Division'.

Therefore, these two items may be 'specialties' of St. John City.

Kavi's final words, "The problem is with this city," also indirectly confirmed He's conjecture.

However, judging from the last two sentences, Kavi had time to leave the city. His visit to his father, Sito, was probably with the intention of taking Sito with him.

However, he did not confront Sito directly about the matter at the time, which indicates that at least at that time, Kavi believed that there was still plenty of time.

Shortly after that, he and his wife disappeared.

So what happened that led to this unexpected turn of events?

In addition to this information, Kavi also mentioned in his notes that the area where Sito lived was the area with the fewest corrupted monsters. What does this mean?

Is there anything special about this area?

The good news is that He now has many leads; the bad news is that these are all scattered and unhelpful clues.

It seems we still need to grasp a main thread and carefully analyze it.

He closed the book, put it back in its original place, and then left the room.

"Grandpa, what are we having for breakfast?"

Jiaxi watched him come out, quickly turned off the TV, and moved closer.

"How about a hot dog sandwich?"

He Ao smiled and patted his granddaughter's head.

"Okay, okay."

Jiaxi nodded happily.

Grandfather and grandson fight

He opened the door and left the house.

He paused for a moment as the door closed.

He wasn't simply taking his granddaughter out to eat; rather, this morning, Sito had arranged with the funeral home staff to collect his son and daughter-in-law's ashes.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Jiaxi, who had already reached the corridor, turned around and looked at He Ao.

"fine."

He Ao shook his head, took his granddaughter's hand, and walked towards the elevator.
