Chương 17: Chapter 17 Rest_1
"Huff~~"
In the living room, Li Ming was panting heavily, but his eyes were filled with astonishing light.
With the breakthrough in his spear technique, he was certain that his survival capability had greatly improved. With this newfound assurance, the sense of danger he felt whenever he went out dramatically decreased.
Having broken through the thrusting spear realm, Li Ming began to experiment with blocking and capturing the spear.
"Huff..."
He flexed the spear pole to its maximum flexibility, practicing the blocking and capturing techniques; the smoothness of his movements significantly increased.
And he became proficient in them very quickly.
By the time the morning was over, his progress in the blocking and capturing skills also greatly improved.
Block (Mastered at 90%)
Capture (Mastered at 90%)
"Click~"
The door in front of him slowly opened, revealing Zhang Yuan dressed in a short skirt and a white top that revealed her fair skin. Through a crack in the door, her husband Peng Zhi could be seen sitting on the bed, playing with his phone.
With the door quickly closing again, Zhang Yuan stood outside the doorway with her slender figure. Looking at Li Ming who was still training in the living room, a curious light flashed in her eyes, "Are you going to make lunch, are you still working out?" she asked softly.
"I'll practice a bit longer. Later, can you cook all the meat? We'll have tomato and egg soup for lunch. Cook all the tomatoes, eat all the eggs, and cook double the amount of rice."
Li Ming nodded. His block-spear and capture-spear skills were on the brink of breaking through, and he planned to do so in one fell swoop. Now that he had finished all his infant formula, he could only rely on eating more meat and rice to replenish his energy.
This meat and rice should be enough to provide him with the necessary nutrients.
"Ah, why are you making so much?"
Hearing Li Ming's words, Zhang Yuan paused in surprise, questioning him.
"I'm going to be very hungry later, so try to make as much as possible."
Li Ming gave Zhang Yuan a smile without explaining further. At his words, Zhang Yuan blinked in surprise before suddenly realizing that Li Ming appeared much more robust than he had in the morning.
A wave of curiosity washed over her, and she hurriedly nodded and gave Li Ming several curious glances before rapidly setting off to make lunch.
"Dare to wear my favorite jk. Just wait and see."
Seeing Zhang Yuan getting started on the cooking, Li Ming eyed her jk skirt and top. Licking his lips slightly, a fire built up in him as he marveled at her attire, before he took a deep breath and started an all-out attempt to break through the final stages of mastery in the blocking-spear and capturing-spear techniques.
Zhang Yuan was preparing lunch. Following Li Ming's instructions, she sliced all the meat and cooked it. After adding some salt and soy sauce, she set it aside. As she worked on other dishes and the scent of cooking filled the air, Li Ming was nearing the final stage of his training.
Block (Mastered at 99%)
Capture (Mastered at 99%)
"Huff~"
Li Ming let out a heated breath. He glanced at the fully cooked rice in the rice cooker, and the next moment, he thrust out with his long spear, rapidly circling his body and then, with a swift motion, he rotated his spear forward for the capture.
Block, Capture!
In an instant, the experience of both skills increased simultaneously, and a surge of memory flooded into Li Ming's heart and muscles. The data in front of his eyes transformed again.
Block (Achieved a Slight Mastery 0%)
Capture (Achieved a Slight Mastery 0%)
The information on the panel flickered past, this time localized on his waist.
Li Ming could feel a sudden growth in his waist muscles and his control greatly increased. His movements in every direction had become extremely fluent.
However, a strong sense of hunger emerged from his stomach. His facial expression changed slightly as he hurriedly gobbled down the remaining two pounds or so of meat, followed by a large pot of rice which he continued to shovel down.
After eating one serving, then two, three, four... It wasn't until he'd finished his sixth helping that Li Ming finally felt satisfied.
Feeling the overwhelming hunger within dissipate, Li Ming finally relaxed and could begin to feel the increase in his strength.
Upon standing up, he felt a surging strength around his waist. As he demonstrated the spear techniques of block and capture, his movements were swift and intense with startling power.
Just then, the sound of the stove being turned off emanated from the kitchen. Zhang Yuan, in her tiny, white slippers, walked into the room carrying a pot of tomato and egg soup, only to stop dead in her tracks at the sight of the empty plates and the considerably diminished pot of rice.
"You really did eat it all!"
Zhang Yuan stared, disbelief dyeing her voice as her gaze travelled up and down Li Ming. It was as though she was looking at a monster.
"You eat first, I'm going to take a shower."
Li Ming glanced back at her. Zhang Yuan, standing pretty in a JK mini skirt under the sunshine, sparked a surge of heat within him. He then headed to the bathroom to quickly wash off the sweat from his body.
The water in the bathroom was gurgling, and Zhang Yuan hastily served a bowl of rice and soup for her husband before heading back to serve herself.
Li Ming had changed and come out by the time she was halfway through her meal. Under her astonished gaze, he ate two more bowls of rice and finished two more bowls of soup.
"We'll have noodles tonight and congee with pickles tomorrow morning. I will look for food in the morning."
As the two finished eating almost simultaneously, Li Ming put down his chopsticks, patted Zhang Yuan's thigh under her mini skirt, and said smilingly.
Zhang Yuan pursed her lips, the tips of her slender neck turned a bit red, she nodded and quickly got up to wash the dishes.
Li Ming watched her bustling around, luxuriously sitting on the bed to wait.
After a while, Zhang Yuan, finished with her chores, walked into the room, and Li Ming promptly closed the door.
...
...
This time, Zhang Yuan didn't cover her mouth or resist. Everything went smoothly.
She kept her eyes closed and held in her noise. Only Li Ming, who was close by, could hear the faint sounds.
After it was all over, Zhang Yuan pulled on her mini skirt, washed in the bathroom, and unlike the previous two times, she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she returned to the bed, letting Li Ming do as he wished.
"You mentioned looking for things tomorrow morning. Are you going out then?"
Zhang Yuan, in her mini skirt, sat in Li Ming's lap, her eyes filled with curiosity.
She had just experienced firsthand, Li Ming's strength had incredibly improved. Her hundred-pound weight sitting on Li Ming seemed to cause him no discomfort, showcasing his robust physique.
His sudden increase in strength stunned her, reminding her of what he said during dinner, she couldn't help asking.
"We can't just sit and wait to die. Even if we ration our meals, if help is late, our food will eventually run out. The more we wait, the less we eat, the weaker we get, and the less capacity we have to cope with potential dangers."
Li Ming touched her soft body, shook his head, and knew that it was impossible to hide the secret from her as they spent each day together. It would be better to tell her and gain her trust.
And also, revealing some power will earn more respect.
So he said simply, "I... woke up with supernatural powers when the apocalypse came. I can get stronger if I work hard and exercise, so I've improved so much over these few days."
"But every time I get stronger, I need to eat a lot to replenish my energy. Now we're out of nutritious food, so the best way is to start looking for more while I'm in good shape."
"Otherwise, if we don't eat well later and get weaker, even if we want to take a risk, we won't have a chance."
Li Ming's voice was calm, as if he were talking about something ordinary.
Only Zhang Yuan, who hears the terrifying screams of zombies every night, can comprehend the power involved in his words.
Recalling the horrors of the past few nights...
Li Ming actually has the power to combat these monsters...
She shivered, and then suddenly hugged Li Ming and kissed him.
"I like it when you confront the zombies…"
...
...
...
An hour and a half had passed before Zhang Yuan reluctantly left Li Ming's room in her slippers, saying that if she didn't leave now, Peng Zhi might get suspicious.
Li Ming had no choice but to return to the bed and rest alone. He woke up refreshed at three in the afternoon.
He felt revitalized, but keenly sensed no desire to exercise. On the contrary, he felt a bit fatigued. He knew it was because he had been training too hard these past few days and his body was tired.
Fortunately, he had made some progress in sword and gun techniques and there was no way to improve any further, he didn't continue training.
He walked to the window and started to stretch his legs, loosening his muscles while observing the zombies.
This sort of exercise was necessary for his current physical condition, and the stretching also helped him become more flexible. Thus Li Ming spent the whole afternoon doing it.
It wasn't until nighttime when the slender Zhang Yuan, dressed in her mini skirt, came lightly to get the noodles for the kitchen.
After taking a shower and going into the kitchen, he saw Zhang Yuan facing away from the kitchen door, staring into the pot. Her long legs under the miniskirt were white and enticing. With a smile in the corner of his mouth, he hugged her from behind.
