Chapter 34.
The air in his body continued to flow.
Zhou An’s eyes became stern, and in the dark alleyway, he lifted his left leg and stepped forward.
Qi flowed between his legs.
Zhou An crossed his legs and ran at the end of the alleyway.
Running was the method he came up with.
The Golden Finger he carried was a small game made in his previous life that could only be taken from things related to life skills.
At the beginning of his creation of this game, he was very enthusiastic and would pay attention to the various feedback from the forums every day.
In the beginning, running was also set to come in.
And in the forums, there was an expert who just livered out running with surprisingly good results.
Zhou An figured out that to have both stance and speed, running was the best.
The air in his legs was flowing, just in the blink of an eye, Zhou An had already run from the end of the alley to the middle of the alley.
But unfortunately, no hint of proficiency appeared.
Zhou An stopped and stood in the middle of the alley, frowning.
“It must be that I’m not triggering in the right way.”
He thought of the scene where the Upside Down Wok was triggered.
At that time, it was only after getting all the things related to stir-frying that the proficiency of Upside Down Wok was triggered.
Now that there was no way for the run to trigger the proficiency, then there was a loophole in his process.
Zhou An stood in the dark alleyway, walking back and forth.
He combined the conditions for triggering the Upside-Down Pot and thought it over carefully, finally getting his pulse straight.
It was definitely the wrong posture for running!
To be precise, it wasn’t the running posture that was wrong, but the breathing while running that was wrong.
He had run for exercise before.
At the very beginning, he felt very tired, so he looked it up on the internet.
Some people said that when running, one should combine it with breathing, so that it would reduce a lot of burden.
Just now, he tested it in order to trigger proficiency as soon as possible, so he didn’t care about that.
Now, it seemed that there should be a problem in this area.
Thinking of this, Zhou An returned to the corner and ran again.
This time, he paid attention to his breathing, letting it adjust to an optimal state, and ran through the entire alleyway.
But it still didn’t trigger the proficiency.
Zhou An knew that it was because he hadn’t regulated his breathing properly, as there was always that little bit of difficulty during the run.
He went back to the end of the alley and started running again.
As he ran, he adjusted his breathing once again.
Back and forth, after about ten times of running, Zhou An finally finished regulating his breathing.
The entire run went down without a single bit of messed up breath.
When Zhou An finished running through the alleyway once more, he finally triggered proficiency and a line of text appeared before his eyes.
[Running lv.1: 1/10,000]
“It’s finally done!”
Looking at the text floating in front of him, Zhou An Xin was overjoyed.
Being able to trigger it, he was able to continue his liver.
Zhou An thought carefully for a while and decided to liver a run tonight.
The Upside Down Objects and Planarizing Blade Technique had both reached level three, while the progress behind them was significantly slower.
Running had only just leveled up and was progressing quickly, so he would first pull up his running before saying anything, and he would have a means to save his own life.
Thinking of this, Zhou An continued to run back and forth.
Without running, Zhou An realized that the doorway was very deep once he seriously ran.
By regulating his breathing, he was able to achieve a smooth effect.
As he ran, his proficiency rubbed off on him.
After running for a long time, his legs were naturally very sore, but with the air flowing in his body, the soreness and numbness quickly disappeared.
Originally, Zhou An had planned to sleep for an hour and a half, but now that the Qi in his body had become more abundant, an hour and a half was more than enough.
But with his new ability, he became more and more happy and wanted to liver more.
Staying excited like this, the whole night passed.
It wasn’t until the day dawned and the sound of chickens crowing came from all directions that Zhou An withdrew from this state of excitement.
A line of text appeared before his eyes.
[Running lv.2 (Speed +1): 1/20000]
Just like the Liver Blade Skill in the beginning, it was raised by one level in one night, but the further one went, the more difficult it was to increase the proficiency.
After raising his speed by one level, he wasn’t limited to using the Shaving Ox Knife, as long as he ran, he was able to have a plus one speed.
Zhou An tried it out, lifting his foot and running towards the left, quickly turning into a stump.
The air in his body flowed, and he naturally, followed the running breath.
As he ran, a feeling of smoothness hit his heart.
“With this kind of speed, my base card has increased again.”
Having gained a new skill, Zhou An’s heart was in a great state of euphoria.
It was now also time for the roll call, and after returning home and washing up, Zhou An walked towards the Yamen.
After arriving at the Yamen to order the dawn, Zhou An waited outside as usual, waiting for Yu Hang to come over and go on a street patrol together.
As usual, nothing happened today, everything was quiet and unusual, and there was no movement.
For many days afterward, everything was as usual.
Zhou An’s life was also regular.
Due to the fact that he had to patrol the streets every day, there was no way to go to the kitchen to practice Bumping Things.
There were now three skills to liver, so Zhou An temporarily prioritized them.
He had first stopped practicing the Ploughing Cow Knife and Bumping Objects.
The proficiency itself was getting harder the further one went, and what he needed now was to improve quickly.
So he put all his thoughts on running first.
After so many days, Zhou An’s daily life was very regular, and as boring as it seemed, he actually enjoyed it.
Every morning, he woke up early to run, and after running, he ordered a night patrol.
He also ran at night when he didn’t patrol the streets.
For so many days, he just kept repeating it.
The further back the proficiency went, the slower it rose, but as long as it rose, Zhou An didn’t feel tired of it.
During this time, Yu Hang was also particularly nervous, and Zhou An could feel it.
The closer he got to the imperial examination, the more Yu Hang’s mindset failed, and the last two failures were also related to his mindset.
Whenever Zhou An comforted him about this, Yu Hang said that he knew.
But he didn’t see any results from the regulation either.
“I’ll be able to level three today.”
In the morning, Zhou An stood outside the door and looked at the text in front of him.
[Running lv.2 (Speed 1): 19858/20000]
For so many days, day and night, whenever he was free, he was running.
The liver level was extremely high.
This life skill mini-game was like this.
As long as one was willing to give, then there would definitely be a reward.
With this kind of livering from Zhou An, coupled with such a long period of time, running was finally going to usher in a qualitative change.
“Start!”
In the alleyway in the morning, Zhou An’s footsteps were the only ones ringing out.
If an outsider saw it, they would realize that Zhou An’s speed was very fast.
And where they landed, the sound was extremely soft.
If not for the fact that it was really quiet, it was probably impossible to hear his footsteps at all.
In order to liver his proficiency to level three today, he had gotten up very early.
Too involved in the running process, Zhou An even forgot about the passage of time.
When the footsteps of the people came from outside the street, Zhou An stopped at the door and let out a long breath.
A line of text floated before his eyes.
