Who says those who retire at the speed of light are not heroes?

“…You are not allowed to write.”

"Just write it."

Lu Xiaoxiao stepped on the accelerator again, increasing the speed of the car, and Lin Cheng began to scream.

....................................

In a detached villa in City A.

After entering the room, Green Hair took off the mask he used to disguise his face, and changed from a hideous bald man back to his previous appearance in prison. Appearance itself was meaningless to him, and this body was not his original body either. He had killed his original body many years ago and lived in another way.

"Mission failed."

Green Hair walked into the villa, picked up the wine on the cabinet next to the refrigerator, selected a clean glass, took out an ice cube from the refrigerator, put it in the glass and poured the wine.

He was talking to the woman who was lazily lying on a lounge chair in the villa.

"reason?"

"Si Ming appeared there, I met him, he stopped me... and saw through my abilities, but was too lazy to kill me, so I ran back." Green Hair took a big gulp of wine.

The woman on the recliner sat up almost all of a sudden, with a complex emotion in her eyes: excitement, surprise, fear, and uneasiness.

After a few seconds, her expression returned to calm. "Did he ask you to tell me something?"

"He said he was fine, and asked us not to peer into the abyss, not to try to borrow its power, and not to hurt innocent people."

The woman looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly outside. After a long silence in the room, Green Hair asked tentatively, "How do you still know him?"

"I knew him before." The woman replied calmly.

"Boss, you never told us about your past."

"The past is just the past. There's nothing to talk about. I was once a member of the alliance. I chose to leave the alliance after seeing the truth about it. Why did he suddenly appear there?"

"I don't know." Green Hair shook his head. "This plan failed. What should we do next?"

"Follow the original plan."

"Okay." Green Hair threw the ice cubes in the cup into his mouth and chewed them into pieces. "Boss, do you think...Si Ming will also have someone he cares about?"

But the woman couldn't give him an answer to this question for a long time.

..........................................

"So where are we going?"

Lu Xiaoxiao's car finally drove into the city, and Lin Cheng looked at her profile.

"do not know."

"How about... sending me home?" Lin Cheng asked cautiously. Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said, "Okay."

But Lin Cheng always felt that her expression seemed a little subtle.

"Are you still suspended now?" Lin Cheng asked curiously.

"Ah."

"Didn't your mother already deal with that priest?"

"That was her solution. It has nothing to do with me. I was suspended because I disobeyed orders and chose to save people."

"It's not just a matter of your mother's words."

“It’s not that legitimate.”

"Then ask her to find you a mission. After you complete it, you can be reinstated." Lin Cheng suggested. Thinking about it, this made sense. Lu Xiaoxiao looked him in the eye seriously but asked an irrelevant question, "Are you S-rank?"

"My ability is quite special. I can mimic abyssal creatures. You can say it's S-level, but it costs life to mimic different abyssal creatures. I lose one or two years of life each time I transform into a predator. If I don't spend life, I'll just be an ordinary A-level physical system."

"Then why are you still..."

"Because there was a small village nearby. If I ran away, they would die."

Lu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and thought, yes, why did she ask such a stupid question.

"I am not like you who is willing to sacrifice myself for justice and become a judge. I am a coward and a coward. I chose to stay at home for the past few years because I was afraid of death, instead of fighting against the natural disaster monsters. But now that I have really encountered it, right in front of me... If I just run away, I will not be able to sleep."

Lu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelashes, "I just have no choice. My mother is the deputy leader of the alliance. Can I still choose to be an ordinary person?"

"Why not?" Lin Cheng's voice became a little gentler, "As long as you want, you can be any kind of person."

"You don't understand. This is my mission."

"Why? Are you the messenger of light from the M87 Nebula who came to the human world? Protecting the world is your necessary responsibility?"

"You don't understand." Lu Xiaoxiao answered stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, I don't understand...but you don't look very happy, how about...let's do something fun?"

"What are you doing?" Lu Xiaoxiao looked up, a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

68 Boredom

A detached villa in the suburbs.

This was the address that Lin Cheng and Lu Xiaoxiao had mentioned, so Lu Xiaoxiao drove here. After Lin Cheng entered by face recognition, Lu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth slightly and looked at the luxurious and overly luxurious villa in front of her, "So when I gave you the two thousand yuan before, you were actually laughing in your heart, right?"

"No, actually I'm really poor. This villa was bought by the fruit shop. It belongs to Lizhi in name only, and has nothing to do with me. She also gives me my living expenses, which is only 5,000 yuan a month, not a penny more."

"So, you're hanging out with a rich woman?"

"…I was just teasing you." Lin Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, "I didn't expect you would actually believe it."

As Lu Xiaoxiao walked past him inconspicuously, she stepped lightly on his foot with her newly-changed high-heeled shoes. Fortunately, she used the toe of the shoe instead of the heel, otherwise Lin Cheng felt that he would jump up.

"So why did you bring me here?" Lu Xiaoxiao walked into the garden of the villa, looked at the roses planted there, bent down and covered her face with her hands, sniffing them.

"Ah, as the melee combat instructor in the fruit shop, I will teach you the fighting skills."

"I want you to teach me?" Lu Xiaoxiao has been practicing fighting skills since she was a child.

"You'll know if you try it." Lin Cheng smiled mysteriously.

....................................

Lu Xiaoxiao was originally wearing a cream green hip skirt, but now she was led by Lin Cheng to change into a gymnastics suit. There were many new clothes in the villa that had never been worn. At this moment, Lu Xiaoxiao was wearing a white cotton coat on the upper body and black shorts on the lower body. Her chest was bulging, and her legs were slender and white under the shorts.

The two were in the badminton court of the villa. She stepped on the floor barefoot, looking at Lin Cheng in front of her. Lin Cheng had taken off his shirt, revealing a body full of hideous scars. She hesitated for a while, and suddenly thought of this, "Then where did you get all these injuries?"

"Once the abyss descended near my home. It was created by a monster from the abyss."

Lin Cheng reached out his hand calmly to touch the ear clip, took out a pair of beauty contact lenses from the space storage ear clip and handed them to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Put them on."

Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She took off the colored contact lenses she was wearing and put on the black contact lenses that Lin Cheng handed to her. Then when she looked up at Lin Cheng, she found that there was an extra string of data next to Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng, comprehensive energy rating: 120.

"what?"

Not only that, Lu Xiaoxiao also found that she seemed to be able to see through and clearly see the evenly distributed blue spots on Lin Cheng's body. Those blue spots were obviously energy, and there were forty-nine clear energy nodes on his body.

"The energy rating is the total amount of energy in a person's body. If I don't use the Mimic Abyss, it's about 120. The blue light spots you see are where my energy is distributed. This is what I'm going to teach you next. Before that, take a look at your own data first."

Lu Xiaoxiao glanced down at her palm, and soon her energy rating came out, which was 135, even higher than Lin Cheng's current level. She was already an A+ level ability user, and had used the blood of evolution to enhance her ability source. Ordinary A-level people could not be her opponent.

"What is this beauty contact lens...?"

"It's the alchemy technology from the fruit shop. I usually use it to assist in teaching."

"teaching?"

Lin Cheng assumed the posture of Ip Man in Wing Chun and hooked his palm towards Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Master Lu, let's have a fight."

There was no sign of timidity in Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes. She took a step forward, and her dark pupils became sharp in an instant. Although she always seemed to be a proud and spoiled young lady in her daily life, her fighting skills were taught by Lu Lingling since she was a child. It was common for her to be beaten all over by Lu Lingling since she was fourteen. She even drank healing potions directly after being covered in injuries. Until she was eighteen years old, Lu Lingling no longer had anything to teach her in fighting skills.

She had already thoroughly mastered the methods of energy nodes known within the alliance when she was nineteen years old. All forty-nine energy nodes in her body were opened, and her use of energy had already reached its peak. Although she actually belonged to the elemental system, she rarely had any rivals in close combat against physical systems of the same level.

..........................................

One minute later.

Lu Xiaoxiao's hands were twisted and held by Lin Cheng. Her body was forced to fall to the ground, her plump breasts pressed tightly against the floor. Lin Cheng's knees pressed against her back. Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's angry expression, he smiled at her, "I promise I only used 120 energy just now."

Lu Xiaoxiao didn’t understand.

Skills were one thing. It was obvious that Lin Cheng was not bragging. He really put a lot of pressure on Lu Xiaoxiao in terms of fighting skills. However, his speed and strength were not right. They were too fast and were not at the level of an A-level ability user. Lu Xiaoxiao keenly noticed that in the gap between his actions just now, the energy distribution on his body was particularly uneven. Sometimes it was on his legs, sometimes on his arms...

"I don't agree!"

Lin Cheng let go of her hand and stood up, "Then let's do it again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxiao punched him.

This time, Lin Cheng only took fifty seconds to easily find Lu Xiaoxiao's weakness, and kicked her in the calf before she could react. The pain made Lu Xiaoxiao once again recall the fear she had been dominated by Lu Lingling in the past. At this moment of trance, she was once again pinned to the ground by Lin Cheng and lost her ability to fight.

"I don't agree!"

"Come again." Lin Cheng replied with a smile.

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time.

It was not until Lu Xiaoxiao was pinned to the ground by Lin Cheng for the seventh time, with her face pressed against the cold ground, that she finally accepted the fact. It was clear that she had much more energy than Lin Cheng, but she was powerless to fight back against Lin Cheng.

"How... did you do that?"

Lin Cheng got off her, sat on the ground, opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her. Lu Xiaoxiao took it and took a sip, then heard Lin Cheng explain, "This is what I want to teach you, control energy."

"Control...energy?"

"Well, gather and transfer the energy through different energy nodes, and when needed, infuse all of it into an instant, how about this..."

Lin Cheng stood up, and Lu Xiaoxiao clearly saw that the blue spots of light distributed on his body gathered in different places after different energy nodes lit up.

"Try slowly according to the trajectory of my energy flow. Different positions require different energy nodes to be affected. You can take your time. We have plenty of time."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, not quite understanding.

After her pride was crushed, she was always humble.

....................................

Two hours later.

Only actual combat can bring the fastest progress. During these two hours, Lu Xiaoxiao fought with Lin Cheng countless times. Until this moment, her whole body was covered with sweat, as if she could wring out water just by taking off her top. Only then did she master the basic skills of manipulating energy.

"How did you learn this?"

"Because I found that many high-level abyss creatures use energy in this way, so I figured out a way to mimic the abyss based on the energy nodes in humans."

Looking at the desire in Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Lin Cheng was very satisfied.

Unlike Xu Wanyue, if it were Xu Wanyue, she would probably not be interested at all. The first time Lin Cheng pushed her to the ground, she would cry out in pain and not want to learn anymore.

"You are really... a genius." Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but admire.

"Hehe, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world." Lin Cheng suddenly moved closer to Lu Xiaoxiao, his breath almost falling on her neck. Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to step back. She turned her head and looked at Lin Cheng, "What are you doing?"

"Come swim with me." Lin Cheng smiled at her, "Next time I can continue to teach you how to advance."

There is a large swimming pool in the villa.

Lu Xiaoxiao was originally planning to take a shower, so this request didn’t seem too much to ask. She nodded slightly, reached out her hand and was about to take off her contact lenses, but suddenly she noticed that the number on Lin Cheng’s body jumped.

From 120, it jumped to 99999 in an instant? ? ? ?

"What's wrong?" Lin Cheng looked at Lu Xiaoxiao.

"The numbers on your body..."

"Oh, this alchemy tool may have bugs occasionally. Just take it off and put it in my box." Lin Cheng answered indifferently.

..........................................

This villa is the team-building venue for the fruit shop.

The swimming pool is maintained all year round and the water is always clean. There are naturally many women's swimsuits in the locker room. Lu Xiaoxiao keenly noticed that there was clearly only one pair of men's swimming trunks.

She chose for a long time and finally picked a white suspender swimsuit, which was quite conservative. Of course, there is a difference between a swimsuit and underwear. A swimsuit is slightly thicker than underwear and not so tight.

She tied her hair up and walked out of the locker room. Lin Cheng was already waiting for her. He was wearing swimming trunks and holding a swimming ring in his hands.
