The next morning, Wang Zheng took the worried Curly-haired boy home and told him not to mention the Chengnan Mansion incident. He added that he would contact him once the awakening potion arrived.
Curly-haired guy readily agreed.
Life returned to its usual tranquility. More than a week had passed since Li Liang left for the capital, and she still hadn't returned. Due to strict confidentiality, she couldn't be reached by phone, which made Wang Zheng somewhat worried.
Now, Wang Zheng's daily routine consists of going between home and the Boyue Boxing Gym. The exotic beast meat at home was all eaten yesterday, and without any new food, Wang Zheng's training has become increasingly intense, which has alarmed Qu Hao, who is worried that Wang Zheng's body cannot handle it.
Effort always pays off. Although his physical strength did not improve, the increased training in reaction ability increased Wang Zheng's agility by two points, which surprised and delighted him.
Since the school scheduled the injection time in a few days, Curly had called to ask, but since the Duan family hadn't delivered the supplies yet, Wang Zheng could only tell him to wait a little longer.
Wang Zheng himself was also a little anxious. Although the supply of exotic beast meat had been cut off, he would receive a huge boost once the ten spiritual energy crystals arrived.
July 9th, another new day. Wang Zheng got up very early today, just because Wang Shengrong told him yesterday that Pang Xixiao had sent news that the spiritual energy crystal would arrive today.
Seeing that it was already past noon, Wang Zheng began to get impatient. Left with no other option, he called Qu Hao to inform him that training was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.
It wasn't until two or three in the afternoon that Pang Xixiao arrived at Wang Zheng's house. Because spiritual energy crystals were far more precious than ordinary items, Pang Xixiao had personally delivered them from the capital. As soon as Wang Zheng saw that it was Pang Xixiao, his impatience vanished, and he greeted him with a smile, ready to welcome Pang Xixiao into the house.
Pang Xixiao quickly declined, instead handing over a dark red box. "All ten spirit crystals are here. I've already stored the awakening potion at the injection station under Fang Hao's name. The injection location is the research station where your mother works, so you can rest assured. I had a mission to complete, so I went to the research station first. To save you the trouble of making another trip, I simply left the potion here. You can have Fang Hao go with the school to get the injection later. After all, high-level awakening potions haven't been publicly announced."
Wang Zheng smiled broadly and said, "I understand, I understand. Of course I trust Elder Pang. Don't you want to come in and sit for a while? My dad is home too."
Pang Xixiao coughed twice and waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, no need, I have something to do and need to go back to the capital immediately. That's all, don't see me off." He then turned and went downstairs, quickly disappearing from sight.
Wang Zheng thought to himself, "I don't know if the spiritual crystal you gave me was flawed or if you were scared by my dad. This old man Pang is running so fast, there must be something fishy going on."
He made a phone call to Curly to explain the situation, then took the box and went into his room. Although Wang Shengrong didn't say anything and pretended to be reading the newspaper, his eyes were always silently watching Wang Zheng.
After returning to his room, Wang Zheng quickly opened the box. Inside, ten spirit crystals were neatly arranged, emitting a colorful halo. After opening the box, the air in the room seemed to become fresher.
Wang Zheng quickly took out an amulet, and his spiritual energy instantly rose from 257 to 380 points, an increase of 123 points. "Not bad, acceptable," he thought, and then picked up the second one.
His spiritual energy limit had reached 499 points and was now stuck. It was clear that the spiritual energy crystal hadn't been fully absorbed yet. Left with no other option, Wang Zheng could only focus on improving his attributes. To verify his theory, he planned to raise each attribute to 20 points.
Stamina: 200/200
Spiritual Energy Value: 499/499
Physical condition: 20+
Strength: 22+
Intelligence: 10+
Spirit: 10+
Agility: 12+
Learning from his previous experience, Wang Zheng didn't rush to max out his stats all at once this time. Instead, he added them little by little, waiting until his body had fully adapted before continuing. He first raised his Intelligence to 20 points, and as before, he didn't feel anything special.
Then I focused my mind, and there were no unusual sensations during the process. I just felt a cool sensation in my brain, as if a pair of cool little hands were constantly stroking my scalp and massaging me, which felt exceptionally comfortable.
"call……"
Wang Zheng shook his head, exhaled a long breath, and felt refreshed. His thoughts became much clearer. Instead of rushing to improve his agility, Wang Zheng casually picked up a book and started reading.
After reading for a while, he suddenly closed the book and began to recall what he had read. Wang Zheng's brows gradually relaxed, and every word he had read came to mind. Even every paragraph, every punctuation mark, and the chapter and page numbers were clearly displayed in his mind. Math and physics problems that used to be quite difficult to solve could now be solved at a glance.
Wang Zheng clapped his hands excitedly. It seemed that improving his mental strength could also improve his memory and logical thinking ability.
Finally, there's agility. Wang Zheng still remembers the physical incoordination he experienced after the last improvement. He then left his room and went to his small guest room for exercise. After each improvement, he would get up and move around, running on the treadmill for a while and playing with a boxing ball.
When Wang Zheng finally raised his Agility to 20 points, he felt dizzy and lightheaded. After his body fully recovered, he felt as if the world around him had slowed down. The trajectory of the rebounding punch ball was clearly visible to him, and he could easily dodge it, but he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Wang Zheng knew he couldn't increase agility any further in the short term. This attribute was different from the other four; it couldn't be improved solely through stat allocation. His reaction speed had increased too quickly, and without sufficient training to process it, it might even affect his daily life.
I've changed my stat allocation plan. I can no longer accumulate attribute points for Agility. I'll add one point at a time once my body gets used to it, and then continue training. Once I'm comfortable, I'll add more points again. I'll gradually increase Agility during my regular training sessions, instead of adding points all at once for the sake of improving all attributes like I did today.
Once Wang Zheng gradually adjusted and looked at his data panel again, after all his attributes reached 20, a second function appeared in the basic functions section.
Basic functions: scanning, storage
Great! The storage space that every novel protagonist needs and dreams of, Wang Zheng now has it too.
As he focused his mind, Wang Zheng seemed to see a black hole-like vortex in his mind. Passing through the black hole, he found himself in a cube-shaped space that was about 2 meters long, wide, and high.
Wang Zheng tested it out and found that he could store any item he touched into his storage space with a thought. He casually put his sledgehammer inside and then returned to his room.
