Qi Shu listened to the broadcast at the bus station. He did not have the time to listen to other people’s complaints. He simply dragged his luggage home straight away.
Qi Shu walked back home and looked at the ancient green tree how it had been when he saw it in the morning.
The ancient tree had grown taller. Right then, it looked like a huge emerald green jade tree. It seemed to be crystal clear. The entire area was filled with green light being reflected off the tree under the sun’s rays.
It seemed like there was an indescribable commotion coming from the ancient tree when he left the station. After that, he ran into a group of men dressed in black when he headed to the bus stop. The operations of the bus station were then terminated. These three incidents were definitely related.
It was possible that the services of the bus stop were not the only transport service being terminated. There might be checkpoints at other transportation hubs as well. No cars or people were allowed to enter or leave this place.
The entire Yangcheng was probably being completely sealed off. No one was allowed to enter or leave.
…
Qi Shu bought many essential items on the street and then walked back home.
After returning home, he put down the items that he had purchased and headed straight to his bedroom. He turned on his computer and began to look up the city that he was currently in.
Just as he had expected, the search results of Yangcheng were either completely blocked, or pages with the words error 404 on it. There was no useful information.
Qi Shu suddenly thought of something. He immediately took out his phone and searched through his contacts. He dialed the number when he saw a familiar name. Soon, a deep male voice rang out on the other end of the call.
“Xiaoshu, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Qi Shu had called an uncle who worked as a taxi driver nearby. Both of them were quite close, and they had each other’s phone numbers saved.
Qi Shu asked him straight away, “Uncle Li, I’m preparing to head to the city center. I realized that the bus station is no longer operating, so I can’t go to the city center. Do you know anything about this?”
Uncle Lee gave him a quick reminder at once.
“Xiaoshu, you can’t get out now. The taxi company has told us to stop operating. All the major traffic routes have been blocked by the higher-ups. It should be because of that weird ancient tree. Please don’t go out.”
Qi Shu replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t go out.”
On the other end of the phone, Uncle Li said worriedly, “You’re staying alone. Why don’t you come to my house? My child isn’t at home right now anyway. You can stay in her room!”
Qi Shu immediately rejected his offer. “It’s alright. I’m already grown up now. I can protect myself! I can think things through clearly. Don’t worry!”
“Okay, call me if you don’t know what to do. Even if I can’t make a decision for you, I know a lot of people, so I can help you ask them!”
“Alright!”
Qi Shu hung up on the call. It seemed like his predictions were correct. The transportation hub of Yangcheng City had been completely sealed off. It was impossible to get out using transportation.
Based on the current situation, there was only one way to get out, and that was to cross the mountains and forests on foot and leave this place. However, it was being influenced by the revival of magical energy.
The mountain range was an extremely dangerous place. Carnivorous animals or even small herbivores could mutate into extremely dangerous creatures due to the revival of magical energy.
There was no chance of survival in the face of such a creature for ordinary people like him. It was no different from suicide.
…
Qi Shu stood inside his room. There was no way for him to leave this place. He looked at the time. There was still a lot of time left before 12 hours passed since the moment he activated the instance zone cheat.
“Forget it. Since I can’t avoid it, I won’t think about it anymore. There’s no need to be so tense!”
Qi Shu went to check the windows and doors nearby. Then, he brought the things that he bought into the kitchen and started to prepare some simple dishes.
After finishing his meal, Qi Shu sat on the sofa and started to watch the news on the television. He needed to understand the situation at all times right now.
…
Time flowed by beyond his awareness, and a notification appeared before his eyes.
[Instance zone cheat successful, sudden reward activated.]
[You have logged into the instance zone cheat of ‘Jiangnan Residential Area’ for 12 hours. Received: 10 Primary Stones!]
Before Qi Shu could check the reward, another notification appeared.
[Ancient Martial Arts Physical Training Techniques cheat is successful. The rewards are as below.]
[Your ‘Ancient Martial Arts Physical Training Techniques’ cheat has been activated for 12 hours. Magical energy enters the body and reconstructs the physical body. Cultivation progress has been greatly improved. Strength has increased to level 1.]
The moment the notification appeared.
Qi Shu sensed an indescribable force rising from his diaphragm. A strong force of energy and blood then surged within his entire body. His bones emitted crisp cracking sounds. It was as if he were enduring some kind of powerful pressure.
Before Qi Shu could react, another surge of strong powerful force pressed down on his organs.
Qi Shu felt like his body was being filled with something. His heartbeat started to accelerate, and his blood began to heat up. It flowed through his body like flames.
“Pfft!”
Qi Shu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood. A distorted expression appeared on his face due to the sudden pain.
However, the pain soon disappeared. An unprecedented sense of comfort filled his body. It was as if he was being completely cleansed.
“Whoosh!”
Qi Shu let out a turbid breath of air. The comfortable feeling made him forget the pain that he had felt earlier.
Qi Shu carefully sensed the changes in his body and immediately discovered something unusual.
The frame of his body, which was originally thin, had become sturdier. His muscles bulged slightly, exuding a sense of strength.
“My current strength and speed has increased a lot in comparison to my previous state. The effect of the Ancient Martial Arts Physical Training Technique’s 12-hour cheat program is really quite strong.”
Qi Shu clenched his right hand into a fist. He could feel the power coming from all parts of his body. This was the first time that he could clearly feel the power of his body. He finally felt that he had the resources to stand up in a world where magical energy was being revived.
The muscles on Qi Shu’s arms did not seem to have changed much from the outside, but they were much more tenacious now. He was very satisfied with the scale of this upgrade.
Qi Shu then went to the bathroom and washed the slightly stinky smell of sweat off his body. After he was done, his entire body felt refreshed. The air that he exhaled was fragrant as well.
