“Is it because of my practice these days? The actual combat just now should also be an important opportunity.”
He gradually gained enlightenment in his heart.
In game terms, every skill has its own proficiency, and the modification value is like experience, which can accelerate this process.
When experience is insufficient, one can increase proficiency through self-practice, thereby reducing the experience required for advancement.
Looking at the symbol that could improve Comprehensive Fighting Technique, Hu Qi moved his mind and clicked on it directly.
“scarlet, improve Comprehensive Fighting Technique!”
The next instant, the modification value column instantly cleared to zero.
Immediately after, a large number of memories surfaced in his mind out of nowhere.
At the same time, a cool stream of Qi flowed from the top of his head, like rain, silently nourishing his body.
It strengthened his muscles, fascia, and bones, making them stronger.
Hu Qi leaned his back against the cold, white tiled wall, his head bowed, and his eyes slightly closed; he appeared to be resting, but in reality, he was digesting the memories in his mind.
He had not considered keeping that one modification value.
After all, this modification value could also modify states and restore injuries, making it a panacea-like existence.
However, now, after seeing the scene that happened in the alley through the surveillance, Hu Qi had different thoughts.
Instead of keeping it for use when he encountered danger, was not strong enough, and might get injured or even die.
Perhaps there would be no opportunity to use it at all.
It would be better to use all of it to strengthen himself; as long as he was strong enough, no one could harm him, and naturally, he would not need to treat injuries.
After a while.
“The effect of this enhancement is actually so great?”
Hu Qi opened his eyes, full of surprise.
He stretched out his palm, and saw that the previously broken skin had already formed a blood cocoon, beginning to show signs of healing.
He brought his five fingers together, clenched his fist, and then released it; a sense of power far exceeding before spontaneously arose.
If he were to punch Song Jian again at this moment, his body would not even sway much.
This was not so obvious when he previously improved his Comprehensive Fighting Technique.
It should be that after the skill entered mastery, some special transformation occurred.
One should know that his culinary skills of over a decade were only judged as mastery on the panel.
Although one was Fighting Technique and the other was culinary skills, and they could not be compared, one could still see the value of this level of mastery.
Buzz!
Just then, the black phone placed next to the mineral water bottle vibrated slightly.
Hu Qi reached out and picked it up; the call had already ended, and there were three or four missed calls on it.
After receiving several nuisance calls asking if he intended to buy a house or insurance, Hu Qi usually set his phone to silent during training to avoid disturbance.
Looking at the calls on his phone, he pondered for a moment and then dialed back directly.
The next second, a melodious landscape ringtone appeared on the screen.
After more than ten seconds, with a “beep,” the call was connected.
Hu Lemei’s voice came clearly from the other end.
“Is that Xiao Qi?”
“It’s me. I was busy just now and only saw your call now.”
Hu Qi smiled and replied.
“I just thought you might be busy, so I called once and hung up. If you’re busy, go ahead and do your thing…”
“It’s fine, I’m done.”
Then, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Hu Lemei spoke:
“Xiao Yi is coming back tomorrow. If you’re free, come over for a gathering in the evening and have a meal. Your uncle just got some wild game from his hometown!”
Hu Qi’s expression subtly changed.
Xiao Yi, whose real name is Li Yi, is Li Yi's older sister and also the original owner's older cousin, one year older than him. She is currently studying at a top-tier university in Anshan City, not far from here.
Now, calculating the time, the college entrance examination has ended, and it’s almost time for summer vacation.
“Okay, I’ll go tomorrow.”
He thought for a moment and still agreed.
To be honest, the original owner’s memories were like watching a movie to him; he could access them anytime he wanted to inquire.
Although he knew the plot, he was not affected by the original owner’s personality or experiences, so he didn’t have too much sense of immersion.
As for the situation where one could feel closeness to strangers and treat them as parents upon first sight after Transmigration.
That was pure nonsense.
In his opinion, that kind of person had already lost their self; instead of calling it Transmigration and Possession, it would be more appropriate to say it was a Fusion with the original owner, becoming an alternative existence.
Hu Qi naturally didn’t have much familial affection for the original body’s aunt’s family.
However, their efforts were real after all, and coupled with being in this unfamiliar world, getting along better would mean having someone to rely on if something happened in the future, which was always good.
Between people, to put it plainly, it was like this.
Moreover, now, besides practicing Fighting Technique and exercising, he had nothing else to do every day.
Someone invited him to eat, why not?
…
Time quietly flowed by.
The next day, in the afternoon.
After finishing his training, Hu Qi left the club, first returning to the residential area to wash off the sweat from his body.
Although there were public showers in the club, Hu Qi still preferred to wash alone.
Soon, Hu Qi, having changed into new clothes, carried a backpack containing self-defense weapons like an electric baton, got on his electric bicycle, and left the residential area.
According to his memory, the original owner’s aunt’s family was not far from here.
It was only about three or four kilometers away, towards the bustling downtown area.
Hu Qi rode his bike, passed a supermarket halfway, went inside, and bought two boxes of milk and a large watermelon.
This was a matter of etiquette.
It was just that the original owner didn’t seem to understand this point, always going empty-handed when invited for meals.
Although Hu Lemei’s family never showed anything, Hu Qi didn’t have the nerve to eat for free empty-handed.
Riding his bike, he took several turns.
After more than ten minutes, Hu Qi turned into a street.
Across the street was a university, and on the other side were neatly arranged restaurants and shops.
Since it wasn’t mealtime yet, there weren’t many pedestrians on the street, only a few scattered young people shopping.
Hu Qi rode his bike and stopped in front of a restaurant near the center of the street.
Looking up, it was a shop formed by combining two storefronts.
The shop name was 【Lemei Grilled Fish】.
The outer door was made of glass, wiped so clear that one could see inside the shop distinctly.
At this time, there was only one table of people eating inside the shop.
Hu Qi parked his bike, carrying the milk and fruit, and walked in.
“Oh, Xiao Qi is here! Why did you bring things when you came to Auntie’s house?”
Hu Lemei, who was standing in front of the counter, looking down and calculating accounts, heard the sound of the door opening, looked up, and saw Hu Qi walking in.
However, upon seeing the milk and fruit Hu Qi was carrying, she couldn’t help but grumble a bit.
“Don’t buy anything next time. I have everything here. It’s not easy for you to earn money, you should save it well and not spend it recklessly.”
Hu Qi smiled, responded, and put the items down.
He looked around.
“By the way, where are Auntie and Uncle?”
