Mysterious journey

The attribute has lost its source, and the old man is dead. There are no clues there, and Garen has become increasingly impatient recently.

In addition, he occasionally encountered problems caused by the inheritance of his uncle's property, and some boys and girls from Longbas's mother's family came to trouble him every once in a while.

This made him even more unhappy.

Watching Fei Baiyun stagger out of the martial arts hall, Garen glanced at the attributes below his field of vision.

Strength 2.43. Agile 1.21. Physical fitness 1.88. Intelligence 1.51. Potential 498%. Baiyun Secret Technique: Dacheng (Level 4). Explosive punch: Intermediate. Baiyun's fighting skills: Intermediate.

"All four attributes have increased by 0.01, which is too slow." He breathed a sigh of relief. "Just doing daily exercise like this is of no use to me anymore, so I might as well just add attributes."

He once again focused his attention on the power. After staying there for three seconds, the power slowly changed, slowly increasing from 2.43 to 2.63.

"Can we add more?" Garen felt happy, but suddenly realized something was wrong. "Why was 0.2 only added this time?" He carefully checked the other attributes and found that only 0.2 was added and was not added to other lines.

"What's going on?!" He took a deep breath, "Maybe I was dazzled and misread the original data." He didn't think too much, and continued to try to focus on the explosive fist technique. This is what he really relies on. When fighting the Tenth, and when fighting those telekinesis, he relies on this absolute shock and defense to win.

The bursting fist technique not only improves defense, but also increases attack effect.

Unexpectedly, after his eyes stayed on it for a while, several red symbols slowly appeared under the attribute bar, which seemed to mean explanations.

Garen glanced at it and his expression suddenly changed.

"Explanation of ability? After collecting the skill data for talents and abilities, one attribute point can be used to upgrade low-level skills by one level, two points for intermediate skills can be forcibly upgraded by one level, and five points for high-level skills can be forcibly upgraded by one level. There are other requirements that must be met Conditions for skill learning and improvement. Failure to improve may be due to insufficient data collection."

"Absorbing the same potential attribute for too long will produce resistance, and the improvement of physical fitness will be reduced to a certain extent."

The meaning of this row of symbols is easy to understand.

"No wonder the added attribute points are getting less and less in terms of physical fitness. I always felt that something was wrong. There was no problem at all in the beginning. Later, after the ratio was suddenly changed, the attribute points actually decreased, but I didn't notice. Now. After a long period of accumulation, the reduction has reached a qualitative change, and it is not noticed until it has reduced by 0.1."

His eyes fell on the explosive fist technique. A symbol slowly appeared behind this skill, which was the missing condition to increase the level of this skill.

"Five attribute points."

Garen frowned slightly. The last time the bursting fist was improved, the gym's body tempering pills and attribute points were used to improve it. This time, if he wanted to forcibly improve it, he actually needed five points!

He only has three points left now.

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have used more strength first." He punched the side wall in frustration. "There are still two o'clock left... I have to find a way! I just have to go out to attend the exchange meeting the day after tomorrow."

The explosive boxing technique is not very practical. Garen spends almost half of his time on it. Upgrading this boxing technique to the same advanced level as his master will definitely make a huge difference in his strength. In addition, Garen himself is a person whose strength attribute has reached the limit, and even he himself cannot imagine the power of being upgraded to a high level.

After coming out of the martial arts hall, Garen held his clothes in his hands and walked to the row of cars outside the door to stand next to him.

In a black car, Grace poked her head out.

"There's another news from Detective Tower."

"oh?"

Gallon opened the car door and got in, next to Cynthia inside, and glanced at Cinthia who was chewing something. "What did you eat in your mouth? It smells bad."

Cynthia chuckled and spat out a piece of black stuff from the car window.

Only then did Garen's eyes return to Grace. "What's new?"

Grace glanced at him through the reflector and said cautiously: "After the last incident at Yinsha Castle, Tali Mercury and his team left the province and went to Blue Bay City in Everya Province. Here. When the matter came to an end, several middle-level people in Jinhuan were arrested, and they received a letter asking for help from the police headquarters over there."

"Do you know exactly what it is?"

"It seems to be related to the bombing in our Huaishan area that night and the murder in the Dolphin Antique Shop. As you know, Burnington Street is our high-end residential area in Huaishan. It is no better than other places. Not only was the local governor's palace shaken by such a big incident, but even the officials in the province were very angry. So Tali Mercury and several other famous detectives were invited to jointly investigate this case."

Galen frowned slightly: "There are quite a few cases in Huaishan, and there are quite a few murders among them. How could such a case cause such a big sensation? There are many homeless and beggars who usually die in the alley. I’ve never seen them so excited.”

Cynthia on the side laughed. "You don't know this. The main reason was caused by Yinsha Castle this time. The people in Jinhuan were too arrogant. They actually confronted the police station head-on and killed many policemen. The impact was very bad. A special task force has been set up above to investigate this matter. The antique shop murder case happened to break out at such a tense time. This is a slap in the face of the Provincial Police Headquarters. They are not very talented. Weird! This is called committing a crime against the wind! Those newspapers and magazines are actually very happy."

"So the place Mercury and the others went to in Tali is related to the murder at the antique shop?" Gallon's expression darkened.

"Yes, news came from the police station over there that a similar murder occurred in a small town there, and an old woman who owned an antique shop disappeared. It is said that the old woman should be the same as the owner of the Dolphin Antique Shop here. The old man has contact. The two of them often exchange letters," Grace explained.

"Letter correspondence?" Galen's expression tightened, "Grace, I will go to the martial arts exchange meeting with my master the day after tomorrow. During this time, please help me pay attention to the news from Mercury in the tower."

"no problem."

"What about me?" Cynthia came over boredly, "Take me there, I can warm your bed~~~" She pursed her pink lips and smiled sweetly.

"Master and I are together, and you are responsible for protecting my family, okay?" Garen pushed her away. He had no intention of wasting time on such things now.

"Oh, that's so heartless. It's rare for a girl to be so proactive." Cynthia pretended to be pitiful and rubbed her eyes.

"Okay, stop making trouble." Garen was speechless, "Tali Mercury has a very strong tracking ability. Maybe he can help me find what I want. You must keep an eye on him at all times."

"OK."

***************************

Two days later.

Woo~~~~!

Amidst the piercing train whistle, inside the Huaishan Railway Station, a brown-red wooden train slowly puffed out black smoke, slowed down, and finally stopped inside the station.

On the rectangular platform on the side, there are more than a dozen people standing sparsely. Among these people are men and women, old and young. Most of them are carrying suitcases and wearing windbreakers or coats, wrapping their bodies tightly.

After waiting for the train to stop, the door was pushed open by the conductor inside.

"Get on the train, get on the train!" the white-bearded conductor shouted, "The passengers in carriage No. 9 are on the train! This is the train to Hera, don't get on the wrong one!"

A dozen passengers waiting for the train lined up to board the train one by one.

Among these passengers, there were two people, one old and one young, carrying red leather suitcases. They were both wearing black fur-collared coats and black round hats. Surprisingly, it was Fei Baiyun and Jia Long who set off from the martial arts hall.

The two of them seemed inconspicuous among a group of tourists.

Garen followed the master, checked the white license plate in his hand to the conductor, then took two steps with the red suitcase and boarded the train carriage.

Standing at the boarding gate, the closed compartment is on the left and the entrance and exit are on the right.

"Why are you still standing here? Our seats are inside. Come in quickly and don't block others." Fei Baiyun turned around and said to Gallon.

"Oh." Garen had never seen such an ancient train before, and it felt very fresh, so his movements were a little slow. I quickly took a few steps forward to catch up with the teacher.

The carriage was all brown and red, and the brown-red wood grain could still be seen on the inner wall of the carriage. The entire train was actually made of this kind of wood.

Every four seats form two rows, like rectangular blocks, distributed on both sides of the carriage, with an aisle in the middle.

The carriage was sparse and not many people were there. The two masters and apprentices passed by the fifth and sixth rows of seats and finally stopped on the left side of the middle back. There are already two people taking the seats here. They are two young people, a man and a woman. They are sitting on the seats with their heads tilted and dozing off. Both of them are very well-dressed, wearing plain white long-sleeved trousers. Moreover, these two people seem to be siblings, their faces are somewhat similar, and they both have silver-white hair.

"Are you sitting outside or inside?" Fei Baiyun glanced at the two of them and pointed to Gallon's seat.

"Let me come in." Galen rushed to sit down inside without any courtesy.

Fei Baiyun smiled, didn't say much, and slowly sat down.

When the two young men opposite heard the sound, they opened their eyes slightly and looked at each other. They did not speak and continued to doze in their original positions.

Garen sat down and looked at the two people across from him carefully, and noticed that the girl's hands were covered with calluses and her nails were short and thick, making her look rough.

"Teacher, how long will it take for us to take the train there this time?"

"It's not far, it will arrive in about three days." Fei Baiyun took off his hat and patted the dust on it.

"Three days?" Garen breathed out softly and stuffed the boxes under the seat one by one. Then he leaned against the window and stopped talking.
