She didn’t dare delay for even a moment.
Before long, she had made her way downstairs.
She then started running along the filthy streets of the residential complex.
At the same time, she reviewed the mission requirements in her mind.
’Pace can’t drop below an eight-minute kilometer, and the route can’t be repeated.’
So, she left the residential complex and ran down the street, heading into the distance.
...
It was now seven in the morning.
The ass-lamps of the Upper City lit up, and daytime arrived for the Lower City District.
The light refracted down through the crystal facets, scattering across every corner of the Lower City District. But it offered no warmth, only a mechanical coldness.
The artificial light could not disperse the incessant curtain of rain.
Pedestrians hurried along the streets.
The sky over the Lower City District was still shrouded in haze; for at least twenty days out of every month, it was gloomy and rainy.
Some of this rain came from the sky, while the rest was sewage from the Upper City District’s drainage pipes, pouring down mixed with dust and grime.
As a result, the puddles on the ground were not just murky, but also carried an unspeakable filth.
Long-term exposure to this rain made skin diseases an inescapable Nightmare for the residents.
Thus, whenever they went out, everyone instinctively put on a raincoat.
Zhao Ying was no exception.
Twenty kilometers was not a short distance.
Fortunately, for Zhao Ying’s enhanced physique, it wasn’t too difficult.
Unbeknownst to her, the Cross Medal in her pocket was emitting a faint, mysterious glow.
Hu Qi sat cross-legged, his perception spreading outwards.
After one night, the range of his perception had expanded from the original two or three meters to ten meters.
Instantly, a flood of information—sights, smells, and sounds—was constantly being acquired and analyzed by him.
He continuously summarized and organized the information about this world.
’The air contains a special energy, one far superior to Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy.’
’This world is definitely not just an ordinary Technology World.’
Hu Qi concluded.
In the depths of the Bottomless Realm, the rules of worlds were bizarre and ever-changing.
Some worlds were dominated purely by physical technology and contained no Extraordinary Power whatsoever, even strictly restricting its birth and entry.
In such worlds, even a True God, upon arrival, could hardly surpass the limits of an ordinary person. These were undoubtedly the most difficult and dangerous of all.
Fortunately, it seemed this world was not one of them.
’Still, gathering information this way is too slow. The best way would be to find a way to infiltrate this world’s network.’
Hu Qi’s eyes grew pensive.
...
Soon, two hours had passed.
Zhao Ying stopped, leaning against a nearby utility pole and panting slightly.
Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and wrapped in the raincoat, it felt unbearably hot and stuffy.
However, she paid no mind to this, instead waiting quietly for the system’s response.
Before long, the familiar voice sounded again:
"Ding! Mission completion detected. Reward: Physique +1."
The moment the voice faded, a familiar warm current once again flooded her body.
The warmth subsided.
Zhao Ying moved her body a little.
RRRIP!
Suddenly, the sound of tearing cloth rang out.
She raised her arm in astonishment and saw that her clothes had been stretched taut and torn open.
Not only that, she noticed her body seemed to have undergone some kind of change. She felt taller.
At this thought, she looked over at a nearby puddle.
However, when she saw her reflection clearly, her expression froze.
The original Zhao Ying had been a frail, skinny girl.
Due to a long-term diet of synthetic food, she was malnourished, with pale skin.
Although she was five-foot-five, she weighed only ninety-nine pounds, making her seem exceptionally thin.
But now, things were completely different.
Her face was now rosy and full of color.
Her height had increased again, reaching five-foot-seven, and her once-gaunt frame had become full and sturdy.
Through the tear in her clothes, she could even see the clear outline of the muscles in her arm—well-defined and full of power.
She now felt like she had an inexhaustible supply of strength.
She could probably kill her former self with a single punch.
