I went over and was truly shocked. Is this a place for exercising? Or is it an armory?
One entire wall was covered with guns, many of which she had never heard of or seen before. The boxes stacked on the ground were probably bullets.
If the house weren't so small, Xiao Lingfeng probably would have put a tank inside.
"Did you move the army's armory to your home?" Jian Ning asked, turning around.
"It can't be that exaggerated, can it? I got these from someone abroad, just in case."
"Take whatever you like. The ones I gave you last time were just the basics," Xiao Lingfeng said, gesturing for you to proceed.
"No, I really don't know how to use this. You should keep it yourself. But you have a pretty complete set of training equipment. Looks like you exercise a lot."
Half of the room was used to store guns and ammunition, while the other side was filled with exercise equipment, including parallel bars and horizontal bars.
"When I have nothing to do, I like to stay in this room, work up a sweat, and exercise. I always try to keep my physical condition at its peak."
If you want to train, start with running, at least ten kilometers every day.
"There aren't any facilities outside, so I'll exercise on the treadmill. Here's the key to the house; you can come over anytime." Xiao Lingfeng said, handing Jian Ning a key to the house.
"No need, thank you. I don't need that. I just need a wall-penetrating spell to get in. Aunt Wang, do you not know you have a gun in your room?" Jian Ning asked, glancing outside as she did so.
“She knows, it’s just that Tian Tian didn’t tell her. My mom can also use a gun. In this world, you definitely can’t survive without some ability to protect yourself.” Xiao Lingfeng didn’t try to hide anything from Jian Ning.
Now, everyone on the 16th floor is in the same boat. And Jian Ning has helped him a lot. He'd feel guilty if he kept anything from her.
“Let’s get started. I’ll come over and run for two hours every night at eight o’clock. Let’s start today and get used to it. Exercising together will also help us keep each other accountable.”
As Jian Ning spoke, she walked straight to the treadmill. Exercising alone is so boring; teamwork makes the dream work, right?
Xiao Lingfeng went over and turned on the treadmill for her, adjusting it to the brisk walking setting.
"Take a break and walk for a while before you start running."
"Okay, don't look down on me. Actually, my physical fitness is pretty good."
Jian Ning spoke somewhat guiltily. If she didn't use spiritual power and relied solely on her body's own abilities, she didn't know how far she could run. She had never tried it before.
"I know, but training is a gradual process, you can't rush it." Xiao Lingfeng chuckled softly in Jian Ning's ear. She felt a tingling sensation in her ear.
She was starting to regret saying she wanted to work out with him. Was it okay for him to keep using his looks to seduce her? Was he doing it on purpose?
Her stance isn't firm; what if she loses control one day and pounces on him again? That would be terrible! What a sin!
"Go run over there, I can handle this myself." She quickly shooed Xiao Lingfeng away, then swung her arm and strode off.
She hadn't even lasted half an hour before she was already out of breath. "This body is truly useless," Jian Ning thought to herself, but she still managed to refrain from using her spiritual power.
You can't rely on external things to exercise. This is only the first day. If you keep at it, you'll gradually see results.
Xiao Lingfeng stood to the side holding dumbbells, slightly sweating.
Jian Ning secretly glanced at him; the muscles bulging on his arms were truly impressive.
"Are you tired? Take a break and have some water. What would you like to eat? I'll have my mom make it." Xiao Lingfeng felt Jian Ning looking at him and stopped what he was doing to ask.
"I'm not eating here, it's too much trouble. I'll eat at home."
"It's no trouble at all. Tian Tian misses you too; she's been talking about you several times already."
"Practice for a little while longer, I'll go tell my mom whether you want dumplings or stir-fry?" Xiao Lingfeng made the decision for her directly.
"Anything is fine, I'm not picky, as long as it's simple."
"Then let's make dumplings. We'll start together in a bit. Let my mom knead the dough first," Xiao Lingfeng said, and walked out.
Jian Ning can't cook, she's never even made dumplings before, so she'll probably just have to wait for something to be prepared. She doesn't plan to learn either; the delicious food in her space is enough for her to eat for another hundred years.
When we run out of food, we can always take a fasting pill. Although she doesn't know how to make that pill, she can learn later.
Anyway, the Scripture Pavilion in the Immortal Abode has all kinds of secret manuals, and these basic ones are nothing rare.
Aunt Wang makes dumplings with chives, pork, and shrimp fillings. Now that the weather is hot, the chives grown upstairs can be harvested every few days, and there's simply more than we can eat.
When Tian Tian saw Jian Ning arrive, she was overjoyed. After dinner, she pulled Jian Ning into her room to show her the little fish she was raising.
"My uncle caught it for me, but unfortunately there's only one. I don't know if it will grow up."
"I'll bring you some goldfish to keep later; these are all black and ugly."
In the stream of Jianning Space, there are quite a few koi of various colors. When I bought them, I just thought they looked pretty. Now they're all as fat as little pigs.
"Really? Thank you, sister," Tian Tian smiled happily, revealing two dimples. She was really too lonely and could only make friends with small animals.
"You're welcome. Wait here, I'll go back and get it for you right now." After saying that, Jian Ning went back to her room and specially found a nice ceramic basin to use as a fish tank.
I scooped out two small koi, one red and one yellow, from the stream; they were too big for this basin to fit.
I carried it to Tian Tian and handed it over.
"Wow! Sister, this goldfish is so beautiful, but I don't know if it can survive!" Tian Tian loved it so much, but she was also worried that it might die.
"It's okay, I have more at home, you can take care of them without worry. These fish don't live very long anyway."
In my memory, these red koi carp, if kept as pets, would only live for five to fifteen years. It's a pity their meat isn't very tasty; it's quite fishy. Otherwise, they could be raised to adulthood and used for soup, which would be quite good.
"Now Tian Tian has a playmate. Xiao Ning, I wonder when the water outside will be completely drained."
I take her for a walk on the rooftop every evening now. I hope she can walk normally on the ground sometime soon. People can't stay disconnected from the earth.
Grandma Wang felt sorry for her granddaughter. It's one thing for an old woman to be so lenient, but such a young child is almost getting sick from being cooped up upstairs all day. Luckily, Tian Tian is a sensible child and never complains about going out.
"Auntie, it's hard to say, but the sun has been really strong these days, and the water evaporates quickly. Maybe we'll be able to see the ground outside in a while."
Even if the water recedes, there will definitely be a lot of silt left. It's impossible to get out anytime soon.
