Traveling through Tomorrow's Ark: Starting with a Yama Sword

With the warmth of Texas still on his hands, Shen Qi pushed open the dormitory door.

Seeing that it was already past nine o'clock, he took off his clothes and went to take a shower. After a little tossing and turning, he sat on the bed after taking a shower.

He opened his phone and first took a look at the group chat, which was still the daily chat of the adventurers - but it seemed that Mo Ran was looking for a way out.

Shen Qi @ed Mo Ran, and Mo Ran replied to him:

"I miss you, Lao Qian."

"Kids, this isn't funny."

Shen Qi then sent a message: "Have you found the cut-out point?"

"No, I'm still looking. My system gave me some tools, so I'll search the area carefully."

In the group chat, Shen Qi has become the one in the lead - he has found multiple exit points by himself, but he has decided to take a break for now. There are other reasons why he is not in a hurry to go back.

Shen Qi replied casually, and then heard the system's voice:

[I once thought, if your Yama Blade is 100% unlocked, you can directly open a portal to connect Terra and reality, then wouldn't you be able to travel back and forth between the two worlds freely? ]

"That's true, but you didn't say that you can't return to reality after cutting out."

[The cut-out point is one-way, but the portal is two-way. If you cut the portal, you can theoretically go back directly, but your current strength is not enough to fully unleash the Yama Blade.]

"Indeed, I'm almost there."

[Not only almost, you can't even do a double jump. ]

"Ah? Am I cursed?"

[When you pick up the Yama Blade, you bear the curse of not being able to double jump. ]

"No."

[It is like this, but it does not affect you. ]

"Okay, I'll look at the mall for a while."

The system went offline quietly, and Shen Qi opened the system mall to browse. He searched the entire mall but did not see any skill option called "Double Jump".

But that wasn't what he cared about.

On the other side, Texas returned to his dormitory.

She placed the opened bottle on the table - it was originally a token of trust given to her by Qiannian, but she chose to open it in advance, and then she heard the words he had prepared long ago.

Fortunately, she opened it in the dormitory in Rhodes Island and no one else heard it. If Lappland had heard it, he would probably have laughed to death.

She shook her head and opened the curtains, and what came into view was the immortal night view of Longmen. In this city surrounded by neon lights but still full of street life, she could also find her own right path.

“Whatever the obstacle is, clear it and keep going.”

Texas lowered her head and glanced at the photo album on her phone. When she turned to the photo of herself and Qiannian, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"And with you, for a thousand years."

She seemed to have already thought about what to do tomorrow, and this time she would definitely drive herself.

------------

The next morning, Shen Qi woke up naturally. When the system called him at seven o'clock, he was already washing up.

He bought some from the vending machine and finished it in just a few bites. Then Shen Qi received an invitation from Texas, asking him to come to the training room to find him.

Texas had told him the location of the Penguin Logistics training room, so it didn't take Shen Qi too long to find the training room and see Texas inside.

Texas didn't wear the suit he had given him before, but changed back into the clothes of Penguin Logistics.

“I haven’t been here for a long time.”

Texas said calmly, "I was in a hurry when I returned to Penguin Logistics last time, so I didn't come to the training room. Now there are some new equipment here, and I feel pretty good."

"pretty good."

Shen Qi took the dumbbell that Texas handed to him, but to his surprise, he could lift it easily - perhaps it was the dual bonus of the Darkin blood and the gloves, he could now lift very heavy objects.

[If you strengthen it a little more, can you lift the car? ]

"Uh, not really."

[It's okay, I won't bother you anymore. ]

Shen Qi did not hear the system's voice again, and Texas' wolf ears moved and said to him:

"Based on your strength, you should be above me by now."

"Hehe, I can protect you from now on. Finally, you are no longer the one protecting me."

"If you say so, there is no problem."

Texas nodded, "Then practice with me for a while, and I'll take you for a ride this afternoon."

Shen Qi naturally agreed, but he had some new ideas about his own strength.

How to test his current strength the fastest? He could think of only one person.

That is to fight Inès again.
