"How do you feel in your legs now?" Liang Yuanzhou held her with both arms outstretched, carefully protecting her as he led her on. His arms were strong, ready to support her at any moment.

Tao Sai said of his feelings: "It seems to be fine, I'm just a little hesitant to exert too much force."

"It's normal. This is the psychological stress after a serious injury. You can slowly overcome it." Liang Yuanzhou thought for a moment, "I'll have them make you a handrail. You can use it to practice walking during this time."

"No need." Tao Sai waved her hand. She felt that she must have seen the handrails used for rehabilitation training in hospitals, but she couldn't use them.

It seems that her leg is really healed. Given her current condition, the rehabilitation training after the injury can be completed in less than a day. What she really lacks is exercise. Only by exercising exponentially can she adapt to the surge in attribute points as quickly as possible.

After Tao Saiduo took a few steps, Liang Yuanzhou motioned her to sit down and checked her again, and the situation remained the same.

He shook his head slightly, unable to help but sigh in amazement. "Xiao Tao, I've been in this industry for almost ten years, and I've never seen anything like your condition. The injury on your leg doesn't look like it was fresh from surgery at all. The callus has receded, and it looks more like it's been in a year or two of recovery."

These words made Tao Sai completely put his worries to rest. Liang Yuanzhou's medical skills were undoubtedly superb, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to become the deputy chief physician of Nanzhou No. 6 People's Hospital at such a young age. This could also be seen from the fact that several people in their department had respected him.

After seeing Liang Yuanzhou off, Tao Sai pushed her electric wheelchair out, down the corridor, and onto the deck. It was 9:30 in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly. She simply pulled the trouser legs of her loose hospital gown up to her knees, exposing her entire calves. A dark brown scab on her leg was showing signs of loosening, but she didn't pick at it, waiting for it to fall off naturally.

What she needs to do now is to get more sun exposure, as sunlight can promote calcium absorption and increase bone hardness.

Tao Sai pushed his wheelchair around the shelves, moving and moving, never stopping. Each step became firmer and more powerful, and the stress reaction from his broken leg gradually disappeared.

Just walking in the sun was nice. For the first time, she felt that having healthy legs was a very happy thing.

After walking for about an hour, Tao Sai stopped, not because she was tired, but on the contrary, she didn't feel tired at all, because this insignificant amount of exercise was not enough to match her current physical strength.

She suddenly felt strength in her legs, an indescribable wonderful feeling, especially when she stepped on the ground, her muscles were tense, as if she would jump out if she exerted force.

My legs are stronger than before.

Tao Sai suddenly remembered the skill [Super Recovery].

[Super Recovery B]: After equipping this skill, your body parts will be further strengthened after recovering from injuries.

This skill was obtained from "Wei Ai Qu Wu Yi", and she had never had the chance to use it before.

In the field of kinesiology, there's a term called "superacute recovery." Simply put, it refers to the ability of an athlete to fully recover or even exceed their original levels of energy and bodily functions after a training session. The greater the intensity of exercise, the more substances consumed, and the more pronounced the superacute recovery. In modern sports, athletes can use this principle to rationally plan their training and achieve improvement.

The skill [Super Recovery] is triggered by injury.

After the leg-jointing surgery, Tao Sai has been using [Super Recovery] on herself, so it is obvious that her leg muscle strength has been enhanced to a certain extent.

This is indeed a good skill. The more injuries you suffer, the stronger your body becomes. However, Tao Sai estimates that there are probably not many ruthless people in this world who would improve themselves by self-harming.

After walking for a while, Tao Sai sat in the wheelchair and rubbed his leg muscles to relax.

She hadn't touched her legs before, having been wrapped in thick splints and gauze. But now, she noticed they were thinner, their calves noticeably flatter, but the soft fat had vanished, replaced by firm muscle. Her calves looked straighter and longer, without a trace of excess flesh. Even the slightest movement of her ankle revealed the distinct muscle texture.

Honestly, they're kind of cool, so cool that I even like them. If it weren't for the brown scab, these calves would be almost perfect.

It's a pity that after the blood scab falls off, it will most likely form a scar and will remain on her leg forever. After all, it is such a big injury, unless she has the conditions to undergo carbon dioxide laser treatment.

Moreover, even if laser treatment is possible, the degree of recovery is very limited. It is better to dream that one day you will be able to develop the skills to treat skin scars.

Tao Sai loosened her legs and continued walking. She didn't dare to abandon the wheelchair for the time being. It was not because she was afraid that her legs would break before they recovered, but because the awkward feeling brought by her attribute value seemed to give her the debuff of drinking two kilograms of white wine. She needed the wheelchair to stabilize her center of gravity.

He walked all the way to lunch, then took a nap. After four hours of deep sleep, Tao Sai woke up feeling as if he'd been in another world. Under the influence of [Deep Sleep], one hour of sleep was equivalent to three or four hours of normal sleep, while four hours of deep sleep was like a dreamlike slumber, and waking up could easily make one feel disoriented.

Waking up this time felt just like waking up one day before the injury, as if nothing had happened to her legs. She quickly moved to the edge of the bed, slippers on the ground, and this time, she stood up easily without using her arms for support.

Tao Sai was overjoyed. Just as he was about to take a step forward, the debuff from the two-jin wine started to take effect again, and his body became crooked and swayed.

She grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair.

The psychological stress caused by the serious injury has been basically overcome. Both legs have been verified repeatedly and there is no problem. There will be no risk of secondary injury.

Now there's only one thing she needs to do, and that's to train like crazy and try her best to overcome the drunk debuff!

At this stage, Tao Sai's balance is almost zero. He can't even walk normally, let alone run. But there is a form of exercise that is just right for him: riding an exercise bike.

Tao Sai changed into a pair of sports shorts, then put on his sneakers after many days, tied his shoelaces tightly, and set out to exercise.

Pushing the wheelchair steadily to the large empty warehouse, Tao Sai grabbed the handrail of the exercise bike and climbed up. She put her feet on the pedals and first adjusted herself to the lowest gear. She pedaled with both legs in turn, not fast, as a warm-up.

When she was almost done warming up, she slowly increased her pedaling speed. After her legs were fully relaxed, she slowly began to adjust the gear, getting higher and higher until she reached the limit of the machine.

The pedaling feel of a spinning bike is roughly equivalent to the wide, sluggish feel of a mountain bike, but Taosai still manages to maintain a good cadence. He could probably increase his cadence, but there's no need to. His legs are just starting to recover, so it's not too late to get used to it.

The pedaling frequency is just right now, and she can feel that all the muscles in her body are activated, especially those in her waist, abdomen, calves and thighs.

Ten minutes later, Tao Sai was drenched in sweat, but she didn't feel the slightest bit tired. After massively increasing her attributes, her body had become seriously disconnected from her physical abilities. Once she got excited during exercise, she could easily become dehydrated if she wasn't careful, so she needed to remember to drink water at all times.

Tao Sai looked up and saw Lin Kang passing by, so he raised his hand and asked him to help him pour water. The other party was very attentive and honestly poured a large glass of water from the drinking fountain in the kitchen.

But the water was boiling and couldn't be drunk for a while. Tao Sai was afraid that he would forget about it again, so he looked up at Lin Kang, who was sneaking around and about to slip away: "Are you leaving?"

"Well, I'm going to..." He was interrupted by Tao Sai halfway through his nonsense.

"Don't leave in a hurry, just stay here and chat with me. Remember to remind me to drink the water when it's no longer hot."

Lin Kang subconsciously didn't dare to refuse, and stood obediently beside her, like a young eunuch standing by the emperor's side in ancient times. His mind was now filled with memories of the day when the woman lifted 10kg dumbbells as if it were a joke. After she left that day, he tried to move the dumbbells again, but couldn't move them, and almost hit his foot.

If this scary woman punched him, she would probably kill him instantly.

There was no one in the large, empty warehouse at the moment, and exercising alone was rather boring. Tao Sai kept up his cadence while speaking, "Have you ever played the King of Fighters on your PSP?"

“I have played it.”

"What about Street Fighter?"

"Of course."

"Which character do you like?"

"I like Yasha and the three styles of sunflower, they are super cool." Before this, Lin Kang stood very honestly, but when he talked about Yasha, he couldn't help but gesture with his hands twice.

"It's okay. I can beat Yasha with Chun-Li. Do you believe it?"

Lin Kang secretly muttered: "...They are not from the same world."

"Kang Kang, I have a task for you. You have played a lot of fighting games. It's time for you to show your skills. Help me think of some moves, some powerful combos, which I can use myself." Tao Sai said.

"You use it?" Lin T Kang's face was full of disbelief, with the emphasis on the word "you".

"Yes, I do. I'm no different from the character in the game now, but I just don't have many signature combos. Please help me think of one. If you adopt it, there will be a reward."

Lin Kang was stunned for several seconds. He actually believed what Tao Sai had just said to him.

This woman is indeed not an ordinary person. She is extremely strong. Even though her leg is broken, she is pedaling the bicycle very fast. Moreover, she can use some magic to make herself fall asleep in an instant.

If he was kicked down like the character in the game, would he still be alive... Lin Kang didn't dare to think about it anymore. He quickly mobilized his brain memory and reviewed the moves of the character in the game.

"You know that Qijiashe, his magma fist is very powerful, he can kill people with one punch." Lin Kang thought of one.

Tao Sai happened to know this character's move and waved his hand, "This is the ultimate move. One punch unleashes the skill, and it puts you in a domineering state. When you use this move, your fist can't be interfered with or interrupted. This move is unrealistic. Try another one."

She then added, "Big moves like that won't work. Small combos are best. Let me tell you about myself first. I can teleport. You know what teleport means, it's about instantly moving to another place. I can jump and leap, I'm very strong, my punches and kicks are no problem, and I can also use lightning attacks, but I have to charge them up."

Tao Sai glanced sideways and found that Lin Kang was listening attentively, not at all frightened or feeling incredible.

It's great to talk to internet-addicted kids of this age. There's no need to use logic at all. With the help of the refuge ship special effects [Captain] and [Blurred Perception], they will believe whatever you say without blinking an eye.

This is very good, as it can fully tap their imagination and creativity. It is said that the younger the age, the richer the imagination. It is too tiring for her to figure out the moves by herself, and she doesn't know as much or understand as thoroughly as Lin Kang.

Two minutes later, Lin Kang's eyes lit up and he spoke.

"I have an idea, Old K's sliding tackle. Do you think it will work?"

"Slide?" Tao Sai thought, the old K he mentioned should be Kyo Kusanagi's cyborg K' in "The King of Fighters".

She remembered the sliding tackle. When playing against the computer, the computer K' seemed to have used it in front of her. The action flow was to lower the center of gravity, slide and kick out, and then when the downward kick was about to be formed, use teleportation to disappear, and when it reappeared, the downward kick had been formed and was right in front of the opponent, giving the opponent almost no time to react.

You know what, it seems to actually work!

Tao Sai silently memorized the sliding tackle and then entered the illusion to train.

"Okay, keep thinking," Tao Sai gave Lin Kang a thumbs up and encouraged him to keep up the good work.

For over three hours, Tao Sai pedaled the spinning bike, her legs practically constantly on the pedals. Except for occasionally lifting her hips to keep her blood flowing and hydrated, her pedaling cadence remained constant. She didn't need to go to the bathroom because her body's water was excreted through her sweat glands.

During this period, Lin Kang stayed by and chatted with Tao Sai obediently. Every half an hour or so, he would remind Tao Sai to drink water.

He wasn't idle, actively helping Tao Sai think of moves. Strangely enough, he grew increasingly excited the more he thought, occasionally even demonstrating a few moves, as if he were the only one who could use them. He was indeed quite clever, and Tao Sai was content to gather eighteen small combos, not just from the game but also some of his own creations, all of which could clearly be used in real combat.

This kid is quite useful, and the reward is certainly not small, so Tao Sai returned both the PSP and the pad to him.

Lin Kang was overjoyed, but gradually, he felt that something was amiss. Wasn't the game console his?

After three hours of high-intensity exercise, sweat continued to seep out of the skin, soaking the clothes, and the sweat flowed onto a large area of ​​the ground around the spinning bike.

After the sweat evaporated, Tao Sai touched his face, arms, and legs and felt a layer of fine sand, which was the salt remaining in the sweat.

After cooling down, Tao Sai took another shower. After finishing her dinner, she stretched out on the bed, feeling extremely comfortable. This was the happiness after high-intensity exercise, which could not be described in words.

After this afternoon of cycling training, Tao Sai was even more certain that her leg was completely healed. She wouldn't reduce her training volume for the next two or three days; it would continue. She decided that once her body had fully adapted, she would push herself as hard as she could, training to the max every day. After all, her resistance was incredibly high now; she could recover from a broken leg, so what would a minor sports injury really mean? And even if she did sustain an injury, Super Recovery would continue to strengthen the affected area.

The next period of time will feel very fulfilling, and Tao Sai feels full of energy when he thinks about it.

She'll get up early tomorrow morning and do the standing long jump. Now she really doesn't want to move at all. Her legs are overloaded and she's experiencing slight muscle cramps. This is normal. When she was in college, she'd run at night, and after running ten laps around the playground, she'd experience similar symptoms from overloading her leg muscles.

Tao Sai lay there thinking. Starting from tomorrow, she would slowly resume her tasks. When she could walk upright, it would be her time to catch up on the leaderboard!

She opened the system panel and first looked at the ranking gap. The last place was only two hundred one-star tasks away from the first place.

She also browsed the world channel to see if there were any interesting topics.

Currently, the most discussed topic is when quests with two stars and higher will be available. Currently, the system only spawns one-star quests, and no player on the leaderboard has yet attempted a quest with two stars or higher. Some players speculate that higher-star quests will gradually become available as the season progresses, perhaps as early as Day 10.

Some players shared their experiences destroying a level one wormhole, describing how many bombs it took to successfully destroy the queen worm and how they were nearly stuck in the wormhole, sparking the curiosity of many players.

At this moment, Tao Sai's pupils suddenly dilated.

Below the latest chat post, a death announcement popped up.

[Player [Wu Kun] has been killed and his information has been erased.]

The world channel fell silent for a moment, and a moment later, chat messages quickly flooded the screen with all kinds of comments, including shock, condemnation, and speculation about the identity of the dead player.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that a player spoke.

[Autonomous One (Lv4)]: I think I know who it is! They're from Jiange. Go see, there are only seven people in Jiange now!
