Chapter 99 Forever and Ever!
"The area for second-year high school students?"
Li Youyan was first surprised, then fell into deep thought: "That is indeed a bit difficult to handle—"
The area for the league within Huimin Community was jointly designated by the various schools.
There are not only psychological barriers and obstacles between different regions, but also significant differences in the intensity of mortgage burdens among different areas.
According to the information obtained by Li Youmo, the area where the first-year high school students live has a room size of 10 to 19 square meters.
The area for the second year of high school is between 20 and 29 square meters!
In the case of Huimin Community, for every extra square meter, those mortgage slaves could potentially convert it into a one-bedroom or even a two-bedroom apartment!
And the theme of this league is "the maze"—.
First of all, crossing district boundaries is a problem, since Huimin Community doesn't have underground parking.
Li Youmo sighed, shrugged, and said, "Looks like there's no other way. Sigh, I told you, there's no need to get involved at this stage, but my grandfather insisted I come—"
He Qing is doing his best to recover and is trying to make offerings to the six-sided pillar house bag he has received.
Unlike other magical artifacts, the house bag can be "weakly bound" because it needs to be "carried" and "maintained".
The bizarre rooms in Huimin Community, due to their extensive renovations, all have some special effects that set them apart from regular rooms.
Through exploration and reflection, He Qing has vaguely realized that what she obtained is, in some ways, a "permanently enhanced but castrated" version of the "Muscle-Relaxing and Meridian-Nourishing Pill"!
When practicing within it, the inner energy will leak out from six directions, which can cleanse the body and continuously strengthen it.
There are no side effects from the medicine.
Upon hearing this, He Qing asked, "Is it absolutely necessary to take that bag?"
"Not really—it's mainly because it's been a great help to me." Li Youmo shook his head slightly: "According to my grandfather, if I can get it in this league, I can go out of the city to train during the winter break this year—"
"Go out of the city for training?" He Qing pondered these four words and fell silent.
Bai Hui asked curiously, "What's outside the city?"
"everything."
Li Youmo Dao.
Bai Hui was somewhat puzzled, and Li Youye continued to explain: "The birth of ghost stories originates from the thoughts and desires of the human heart. These desires can be good or bad, and among them, the fantasy of 'the wilderness' is the most complex."
In addition, various supernatural tales erode various concepts —
Theoretically, everything exists outside the city.
Throughout history, through the changing times, in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, where monstrous beasts gather and ferocious spirits roam—all are found in the desolate wilderness.
I saw online that the area outside our Great Xia city is collectively referred to as—
"Until the end of time!"
"Then how do you farm? And how do you raise livestock?" Bai Hui asked, puzzled. "Are all these things located within the city?"
He Qing then picked up the conversation, saying, "There is a part of it in the city, but it is mainly used for sorting and processing various resources."
I've come into contact with these things when I'm doing part-time work.
Food and other resources are basically obtained from nature, because everything exists outside. Therefore, there are naturally occurring farms and plantations, as well as mines, natural and automated processing plants, and so on.
Li Youmo nodded and said, "The city and the end of time have a symbiotic relationship. Everything outside is not permanent, but exists in a state that is similar to fluidity."
The significance of cities, besides protecting us humans, lies in their ability to determine the location of supply points based on the demand for various necessities among the inhabitants.
It is said that when demand becomes strong enough, it can expand the boundaries of a city—of course, the existence of people like mortgage slaves will also continuously devour the total area of a city, eroding the concept of "per capita habitable area," which is one of the reasons why we came to Huimin Community.
Bai Hui: "————"
[Upon hearing the shocking truth, sanity decreased by 5 points]
Li Youmo shrugged: "Brother Hui, you probably know my situation. Without that apartment, I can't leave, at least not this winter break."
But if that apartment is in the high school district, then it's highly unlikely that I'll be able to get through.
To get past it, you'll have to come into contact with the area barrier, which will definitely expose you, and then you'll be sucked away.
"But it's not a big deal, I can go again another time."
"Being sucked away—what does that mean?"
Bai Hui was puzzled.
He Qing was also somewhat puzzled.
Li Youmo explained, "Each school has older female teachers, who basically all possess a special kind of martial art, emphasizing that they are as fierce as wolves at thirty, as powerful as tigers at forty, and able to suck up the earth while sitting still at fifty—"
If we were caught smuggling ourselves in, those female teachers would sit on the ground and suck us out from a great distance —
Bai Hui: "???"
Is this even legitimate martial arts?!
[Hearing about the Harmony Sect's martial arts, sanity value decreases by 1]
But then, Bai Hui asked again, "Can only women practice this martial art?"
Li Youyan was taken aback: "What else?"
"What a pity—" Bai Hui said with some regret.
Li Youmo was completely dumbfounded—what's so regrettable about this?!
He Qing remained silent, only her cheeks flushed slightly.
I don't know if it's from the depletion of funds meant for supporting the household, or from shame—
Bai Hui thought about the strange theories about mortgage slaves that he had collected so far. Although he hadn't fully grasped them yet, he had already formed some ideas.
He thought for a moment and said, "Youmo, do you know the Heart-Shaping Technique? If you do, perhaps I can sneak over Bai Hui's thoughts. Li Youmo is the grandson of the principal of Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School, and he has a dual personality with a love-struck mind. He is also proficient in the Take-off Protection Technique. He should have already started cultivating the Heart-Shaping Technique, right?"
"Oh?" Li Youmo asked curiously, "I do know how, but what are you planning to do, Brother Hui?"
Bai Hui thought to himself, "As expected."
He Qing also became interested. She only knew that Li Youye was occasionally very knowledgeable, but she did not expect that Li Youmo's martial arts were also so high. He usually hid it so well that she did not see it at all!
Is this what "dissociative identity disorder" means?
What amazing martial arts skills!
Bai Hui then said, "Show me how to do it first."
Li Youmo didn't think much of it, and simply said, "My Heartbeat Formation Technique is a little different from what you saw at school, Brother Hui—"
As he spoke, Li Youmo took off his school uniform shirt, let out a low shout, and activated his inner power, causing his entire body to swell instantly!
As he grew ten centimeters taller from the plateau, his waist became slightly hunched, his ribs were clearly visible, his spine was noticeably protruding from his skin, his abdomen was tucked in, his arms hung limply, and his eyes were lifeless.
go----"
"Brother Hui, this is my Heartbeat Formation Technique—I just picked it up easily because I take off so often."
Bai Hui remained silent.
That's really convenient for you!
And your appearance—why does it look so much like Gyutaro from Demon Slayer that I saw in my future self?!
Li Youmo introduced in a hoarse voice: "The Heartbeat Formation Technique generally has two forms."
One of them is the kind of thing you saw at school, Brother Hui, which can significantly increase your resistance to blows and explosive power, and also increase your basic strength.
However, this will also reduce flexibility and movement speed.
Another approach is like mine—a slight reduction in strength, but a significant increase in speed and agility—"
'
Bai Hui was speechless, thinking to himself, "You're just really weak from taking off too much, aren't you?!"
Good heavens, it almost flew itself into a shapeless mess!
"Ahem—then smuggling might be an option, or rather, you'd be more suited to it in your current form."
But before we leave, we need to check if Feng Jue is done. What if he gets trapped in the house and dies after we leave?
He Qing asked doubtfully, "Bai Hui, aren't you planning to acquire another suitable house? Since you're not going to support this house, wouldn't you be at a loss if the smuggling attempt fails?"
"It's not a loss—"
Bai Hui glanced down at the initial house bag in his hand—
【Magic Weapon: House Bag】
Area: 9.83 square meters
[Edible; after digestion, it can improve the strength of muscles, bones, and skin.]
With the chef's help, this thing is edible for Bai Hui.
It's just that Bai Hui doesn't have such good teeth for the time being.
If the smuggling attempt fails, I'll take this thing back and have the cook prepare it.
Or we could try to sell it.
