Lost Narrative Poetry

After all this trouble, Xia Ran's stay time is about to be cleared, unless he uses points to continue redeeming time, but there is no need, and he will naturally not do such a stupid thing.

Finally, he exchanged some supplies that he would need anyway, and sorted out the items in his personal space. He quietly waited for the final countdown to end.

So, a long "night" passed like this.

In the real world, Xia Ran slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze. After a while, he sat up from the bed and exhaled a strong breath.

Glancing at the alarm clock next to him, he realized that it was only six o'clock in the morning... No, it should be said that it was close to six o'clock in the morning, about ten minutes away. It seemed that no matter how long he experienced in the "dream", In reality, it only takes about one night.

I just thought it was normal before. After all, it was just a dream. No matter how bizarre, twists and turns it was, it just happened overnight.

But now, after knowing that those dreams were actually in a real world in another dimension, Xia Ran felt a little magical. But it was obvious that he could not understand the specific principles.

As if he had had a good sleep, Xia Ran was full of energy and had no intention of staying in bed any longer.

He jumped out of bed lightly and walked around in circles in the bedroom, moving his hands and feet, feeling this unprecedented health... But that was it, because he had already made up for his attributes that were not up to normal standards.

——Physique is okay, just strengthened to a level higher than the standard for normal people. However, the spirit has been strengthened from 3 points to 30 points, and it has even begun to show unscientific extraordinary abilities.

When returning to reality, all enhancements and improvements will be directly and synchronously "updated" to the level of ontological existence under the power of the laws of the white space, so Xia Ran almost feels nothing. There is no strange feeling of feeling weak at first, and then quickly inflating like a balloon.

Because his body state was directly updated simultaneously, reaching the same height as his previous enhancement, both in terms of attributes and abilities.

There is no transition period, so Xia Ran naturally doesn't feel much now. He has already adapted to the new panel. However, this did not prevent him from enthusiastically wanting to test his abilities, as if the experience in the mission world and the real dimension were completely different.

How to describe it?

It feels as if the power in the game has been brought into reality. No matter how many times I have released that power by controlling the character in the game, it is still completely different from the feeling of mastering the extraordinary in reality.

When the last lamp in the bedroom was broken, making a crisp shattering sound, and glass shards splattered all over the floor, Xia Ran finally realized what she had done, and stopped reluctantly. .

Because it was still very early, he was in a good mood and changed into his school uniform, then went downstairs to prepare breakfast and lunch lunch for himself.

Next, he did not waste the more than an hour before going to school, but began to exercise...but of course he was exercising his mental strength, rather than continuing to deepen his understanding of close-quarters techniques.

Because "Aikido" is a black iron-level skill, it is probably a relatively low-end close-up technique for mortals. Even if you master it, it will not have any magical qualities. It just makes him more or less an ordinary person. A master of human-level physical skills.

However, the "Flowing Breathing Technique" is a static skill. It is the basis of many Eastern exercises and can be regarded as a prerequisite skill. The effect is that the mind is concentrated on the breath, going up and down with the breath, so as to achieve the method of replacing thousands of thoughts with one thought... It seems very mysterious to say, but it is a kind of meditation technique.

The effect is to calm the mind, regulate the body and mind, and achieve the effect of tempering mental strength. As long as you persist and repeat every day, your mental strength will naturally continue to be tempered between breaths and become stronger and stronger.

Just like increasing attributes does not necessarily require adding points, fitness running and healthy eating can also increase basic attributes such as strength, agility, and physical fitness, but the effect is not as significant as adding attributes directly.

The reason why he chose such a skill is because Xia Ran has not yet systematically trained his mental power and explored his soul potential, although he has a very solid foundation in this area and has reached a full 30 points of mental strength. Attribute value.

However, it only has a solid foundation, and the potential behind the attribute values ​​has not been fully developed.

For example, 1 point of mental attribute of an ordinary person without training is equivalent to 10 points of mental power. This is actually just the range of natural ability, but it is far from reaching the true limit.

Perhaps after relevant skill training, 1 point of mental attribute can generate 11 points of mental power, 12 points of mental power, 13 points... or even 20 points of mental power, 30 points of mental power, or even more.

In other words, such a basic meditation technique for tempering mental strength is very necessary for the route he currently chooses. Increasing the mental attribute value is only secondary, directly increasing the quality of mental power is the most important.

Thoughts and breathing go in and out naturally, the heart and breath depend on each other, and the mind and energy follow each other without interference...

It is a little difficult for people who have not been trained to get into the state, but Xia Ran has no such trouble. The skills strengthened through white space, whether using causal crystals or directly using skill scrolls, have the same effect. of.

That is to directly reach the level of specialization.

Just like a master who has been immersed in this art for more than ten years, he entered the state very easily, and slowly fell into a strange state where he had no thoughts or thoughts, and seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping. In this state, his consciousness was completely empty, and only his breathing existed.

It seems that no time has passed, but he can still sense the outside world.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he slowly withdrew from this state. The time was exactly when he was about to go out. The mental attribute value did not increase, but Xia Ran did not expect such an immediate effect. He just felt his state carefully——

After confirming that his mental strength seemed to be fine-tuned to the best state, and his body felt natural and comfortable, he couldn't help but exhale softly.

In addition to tempering mental strength, this basic meditation technique can also play a role in resting. The mechanism is similar to sleep, except that it can also sense the outside world and escape at any time... This effect can be said to be of great significance. Xia Ran feels that she Then you no longer have to think about the long nights and the troubles caused by unintentional sleep.

…

…

Come to school on time, enter your class, and sit in your seat.

Xia Ran looked at the soft morning light outside the window, watching the cherry blossoms blooming and falling as the flowering period was coming to an end. In addition to lamenting that her sense of time had become a little confusing as always, she also felt that everything in front of her was so beautiful.

Today's campus is so peaceful. There are no strange cases of mutilation and murder in daily life, and there is no need to worry about the presence of man-eating monsters.

He can also really relax and enjoy the rhythm of high school life, instead of thinking about how to fight those man-eating monsters all day long, fighting them hard, and even putting his life in danger at any time...

If he continues like this, he will have mental problems, and he can't help but wonder if he is about to awaken his antisocial personality because he has accumulated too much negative energy.

"Um...classmate Xia Ran? Good morning."

An unfamiliar voice came from beside him, interrupting his thoughts.

He turned around and looked around, and found that a somewhat impressive boy was standing behind him. He had short hair and wore a pair of big round glasses... Well, it seemed to be more than two months ago. Please help me do it. A person in game planning.

Oh, it wasn't more than two months ago. According to the timeline of the real world, it should be yesterday... Yesterday, right? Or the day before yesterday?

Forget it, I probably can't save my sense of time, so there's no need to force it. And this is not important. What is important is what is this classmate’s name?

Xia Ran thought for a moment, then raised his hand to push up his glasses out of habit, but the push came up empty. However, he had already remembered the other person's name, and a gleam of confidence flashed through his dark eyes:

"It's you, Ito-san, good morning."

"..."

"..."

The boy opposite was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Xia Ran, please stop joking, I am An Yilun, not Ito... Should I call you Teacher Xia Ran?" "

An Yilun did not take this title seriously. After all, no normal person would think that the name he told someone just last night had been completely forgotten this morning. Naturally, he thought it was a joke.

However, he also thought too much, wondering if the teacher was joking with the name, implying that he should be more respectful?

In fact, he also wanted to call the other party teacher, but he just felt that the other party acted so low-key and might not like to attract too much attention to this kind of thing, so he didn't call him that.

Huh? Isn’t the name Makoto Ito? Did I remember it wrong?

Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, but it was very short-lived. He reacted immediately, pretending that nothing happened, and said haha:

"Well, it's just a joke, An Yi-san... By the way, are you here to ask about that game project?"

It was indeed a joke, and An Yilun had no doubt that this great classmate still remembered what he had promised him, so how could he forget his name?

He shook his head and said in a relaxed tone: "No, I just want to say hello to Xia Ran, and it's only been a long time. No matter how you look at it, it's impossible..."

"I've already written half of the script. It should be completed before school this afternoon. I'll give it to you then." Xia Ran patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him.

"Eh?"
