Seeing this, Hu Qi didn't mind it.
Initially, when the other party first arrived at his home, it was extremely irritable, squawking incessantly.
However, after Hu Qi slapped it twice and brandished a knife at its neck, it completely quieted down.
At first, Hu Qi was somewhat surprised; its behavior seemed to indicate high intelligence.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
High intelligence might be due to being an exotic beast, a result of gene mutation.
He placed the egg in the kitchen, saving it for cooking later.
“scarlet!”
With a thought, the illusory panel unfolded from the Void Realm like an ink painting.
【Host: Hu Qi】
【Status: Normal】
【Age: 21】
【Skills: Supple Palm (Mastery) △】
【Crane Leg (Mastery) △】
【White Ape Fist (Mastery) △】
【Comprehensive Fighting Technique (Perfection)】
【Yang Yuan Breathing Method (Perfection)】
… …
【Modification Value: 6 (73%)】
Crane Leg, White Ape Fist, and Supple Palm, these three Fighting Techniques, had all reached the Mastery level.
However, after reaching Mastery, even with Hu Qi's coordination trait, he could clearly feel that the rapid progress had slowed down.
Looking at the upgrade runes behind the three Fighting Techniques, and the few Modification Values gained from eating duck eggs during this period.
Hu Qi thought for a moment, then focused his gaze.
“scarlet, modify Crane Leg, Supple Palm, White Ape Fist!”
If it were before, without a stable source of Modification Values, Hu Qi might have relied on his own practice.
But now, every one or two days, the Zhangcha Duck could lay one or two eggs, replenishing his Modification Values.
There was no need to save.
Additionally, the Core Class assessment was in just over half a month.
Hu Qi naturally wanted to improve as much as possible.
Moreover, he was very interested in the human physical limit value mentioned by Chen Wu.
As his thought landed, the value in the Modification Value column began to decrease, simultaneously transforming into three rays of light that directly merged into the three Fighting Techniques.
The text blurred slightly, then became clear again.
— — — —
【Crane Leg (Major Achievement) △】
【Supple Palm (Major Achievement) △】
【White Ape Fist (Major Achievement) △】
“Hmm, it can still be modified?”
Hu Qi was a bit surprised, his gaze falling on the bottom-most column.
Modification Value: 3
It should be known that after the Comprehensive Fighting Technique was upgraded to Mastery, it required two Modification Values to be modified again.
Unexpectedly, this upgrade only required one point.
Could it be that because the Comprehensive Fighting Technique reached Perfection, his physical Foundation was far superior to before, thus reducing the modification points needed?
Hu Qi speculated in his mind.
Looking at the remaining three Modification Values, he moved his thought and continued to modify!
“Whoosh…”
After a few breaths.
Hu Qi opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing and then receding.
His gaze turned to the panel.
— — — —
【Crane Leg (Perfection) Trait: Springing】
【Supple Palm (Perfection) Trait: Toughness】
【White Ape Fist (Perfection) Trait: Hard Bone】
… …
【Modification Value: 0】
The Modification Value was reset to zero again, and all three Fighting Techniques were upgraded to the Perfection realm.
As Hu Qi expected, after the three Fighting Technique skills reached Perfection, they simultaneously brought him three traits.
His gaze fixed on them, and immediately, information about these three traits appeared in Hu Qi’s mind.
Springing: The power of leg-driven jumping, with a partial bonus to body reaction speed.
Toughness: Increases the range of joint movement and the extensibility of soft tissues around the joints such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments, reducing the possibility of exercise injuries.
Hard Bone: The hardness of the arm bones is strengthened, and the force that can be withstood during strikes increases.
“Not bad!”
A smile appeared on Hu Qi's face; he was very satisfied with the effects of these traits.
Although these traits couldn't instantly turn him into a superman, they were a tangible increase in his own strength.
Not only that, but after the techniques of the three Fighting Techniques reached Perfection, they seemed to be engraved deep into his body, becoming instinct.
His physical body also received a considerable strengthening.
Because there was no force measuring device at home, Hu Qi couldn't clearly know what level his strength had reached now.
But one thing was certain: it was definitely much stronger than before.
Grumble…
A feeling of hunger came from his abdomen.
It was similar to when he previously upgraded the Comprehensive Fighting Technique to Perfection.
Only this time it was three Fighting Techniques.
“Could it be that modifying also uses one’s own energy?”
Hu Qi rubbed his stomach, thinking of the cool airflow that strengthened his physique, and made a guess in his heart.
Looking down at the two duck eggs he had just harvested, Hu Qi muttered to himself.
“Today, I’ll make scrambled eggs with chili and tomato egg drop soup. There are still some spare ribs in the fridge.”
About ten minutes later, two dishes and a soup were served on the table.
Hu Qi devoured them, and only then did the hunger in his abdomen subside slightly.
He rested for a moment, and just as he got up to clear the dishes, he saw his phone, placed nearby, vibrate slightly.
A call came in, the caller ID was Li Yi.
“Hmm?” Hu Qi was a bit surprised. Why was he calling him?
Although their relationship was good, and they occasionally contacted each other during this period, it was mostly through typing on the Paper Crane App, and most of the time it was him looking for Hu Qi to play games.
After thinking for a moment, he answered the phone.
“Hello?”
“Big Brother, Jianghu emergency! I just hit someone with my bicycle at the intersection.
He’s asking me for compensation. Can you return some of the money I borrowed from you last time to buy a computer…”
Li Yi’s anxious voice came through, his words somewhat slurred.
Hu Qi paused.
Owed money? When did he lend him money?
Even if he owed money, it was to Hu Lemei.
Moreover, according to his memory, this guy only ever called him Qi Ge, and this guy couldn't even ride a bicycle.
Hu Qi’s thoughts raced.
But he said aloud.
“Okay, where are you? I’ll come find you now.”
“Okay, I’m on Tianhu Road, near the alley entrance of Qingyu Internet Cafe. You’ll see me when you get here. Remember to bring more cash…”
Putting down the phone, the smile on Hu Qi’s face receded, and a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes.
“Interesting. Is someone looking for trouble with me?”
The other party’s words were full of mistakes, clearly hinting at him.
If his guess was correct.
Li Yi’s last sentence meant to tell him that there were quite a few people on his side, and he wanted him not to go alone, but to bring more people.
… …
“How is it?”
A few streets away from Hanlin Garden Community, in an alley outside a place called 【Qingyu Internet Cafe】.
Five young men with dyed, colorful hair, looking dissolute and with tattoos on their arms, were standing there. They intentionally or unintentionally surrounded a thin figure wearing glasses in the center.
The one who asked the question was a young man with white hair, chewing betel nut.
His nose bridge was a bit crooked, and he wore a heavy metal necklace around his neck, which swayed as he moved, giving him an exaggerated and arrogant feeling.
“My big brother said he’s coming right away. Good sirs, let’s talk this out. Is there some misunderstanding, I…”
Li Yi hung up the phone, a smile plastered on his face.
However, before he could finish speaking, he took a kick to the abdomen, and he landed on the ground on his backside.
“So much nonsense. Did I ask you anything else?” The white-haired youth spat, spitting the betel nut onto the ground.
“Say one more word, and I’ll beat you to death!”
