It's not just about strength, it also includes sensory acuity, coordination and precision of movements, body flexibility and strength, etc. It's all-encompassing.
To exaggerate a little, she today can crush her yesterday.
"Who...are you?"
Qi Ji lowered his head and stared at his palm, observing this delicate and graceful little hand as if he were appreciating a work of art, and silently said something in his heart.
She said this to herself. She had long been curious about what this body was like. How could she, a time traveler, gain such powerful strength? And why did she travel through time?
"Miss, we've brought you breakfast."
The maid's voice outside the door interrupted her reverie.
He looked back at Lunxi, who winked and pointed at the wall beside the door.
Qi Ji understood immediately, and with a flash of his body, he pressed tightly against the wall where Lun Xi pointed.
"Ahem..." Lunxi cleared his throat and said loudly, "Bring it in."
The door was gently pushed open, and Qi Ji was blocked by the open door, so the visitor couldn't see her at all.
Two maids walked in with solemn steps, one of them holding a tray with a few simple dishes on it.
The other was Triss, who helped Qi Ji pick clothes yesterday. She had her right forearm horizontally with a long black cloak hanging on it.
"My lady," Triss walked up to Lancy and said, after another maid put the breakfast on a small table in the corner of the bedroom, "These are the clothes left behind by Miss Qi Ji. She left in such a hurry yesterday that we were unable to return them. May I ask how we should ..."
"Give it to me." Lun Xi said without hesitation, "I will find time to give it back to her later."
"Okay." Triss bowed slightly, then folded the cloak and handed it over.
Then the two maids left the bedroom and closed the door before leaving.
"Xiao Qiji, these are your clothes." Lunxi looked at Qiji who reappeared from behind the door and smiled as he stretched out his arm with the cloak draped over it. "They have been washed and are returned to you."
"Oh." Qi Ji was about to walk over when suddenly the cloak moved, flew up from Lunxi's hand, crossed half of the bedroom and fell straight towards Qi Ji.
Seeing this, Lunxi did not show any surprise on her face. In her eyes, Qi Ji was a magician and psychic warrior, a top-notch master in the human world. Telekinesis was nothing to such a strong man.
Qi Ji silently held the flying cloak in his arms, appearing calm on the surface, but actually confused.
She just...didn't cast any spells...
Just by thinking of "wanting to get the cloak", the cloak flew towards me like a moth fluttering towards a candle.
"…Is this cloak itself special?"
To verify, she turned her eyes to the breakfast on the small table in the corner, aimed at a sandwich, and had an idea.
"Soon-"
The sandwich immediately left the plate, drew a smooth arc in the air, and fell into her outstretched hand.
"I'm a little hungry. Can you share some of your breakfast with me?" she asked calmly.
"Oh, of course, no problem. Just eat it all if you want." Lun Xi naturally had no objection and agreed with a smile, "I'm not hungry either."
"Thank you..." Qi Ji was chewing on a sandwich, his heart already filled with turmoil.
It has nothing to do with the cloak...it's her own ability.
--what happened?
Could this be a new ability she awakened?
Does it have anything to do with the fact that I suddenly fell asleep and had a dream?
"No, the sudden appearance of new abilities has happened before."
For example... yesterday morning when I was investigating the fugitive's resting place, I awakened the ability to analyze the composition of objects, which is quite practical.
Her mind raced, and she soon realized that this was still... not the first time.
If we trace it back, this phenomenon should have first occurred when I first came to this world and had not yet left the Great Forest of the East.
The first ability that emerged from her, if not counting her super physique and strength, was——
“The language is common.”
So far, she has not encountered any language barriers and has communicated very smoothly with local residents.
However, she knew very well that the language used by people in this world was not Chinese or English, nor was it any of the languages she had learned in her previous life.
It's a completely new and unfamiliar language.
But she was able to communicate with them easily, and could read, understand, and even write the report as usual - although it was written very badly...
She didn't take it too seriously at first. After all, "common language" should be a standard feature for time travelers, so it's not surprising to have it as a gift at the beginning.
"Language sharing, component analysis, and now 'telekinesis'..."
Now, if we think about it carefully, we can easily find the common features of these three abilities that suddenly appeared.
"It all came out when I 'needed' it!"
I met the indigenous people who spoke a different language, and then I realized that “language is common”;
The key drug was found, the ingredients needed to be known urgently, and then the "ingredient analysis" was awakened;
He wanted to get something far away quickly, so he awakened his "telekinesis".
It seems that this body will "awaken" various useful abilities!
"These abilities... are they something I have always had and were only 'discovered' at the right time, or did they 'come' to me suddenly?"
Thinking of this, she had just finished her sandwich and clapped her hands to shake off the dirt.
"Well, Xiao Qiji..." Lunxi watched her swallow the last bite and reminded her in a low voice, "Don't you... need to brush your teeth and wash your face in the morning?"
"what?"
Qi Ji was stunned and realized that this seemed to be the case.
Most people feel a sticky mouth after waking up in the morning, and sometimes there may be a bad smell. If you don’t clean your mouth, you will feel very uncomfortable.
But Qi Ji didn't have this problem. Her lips, teeth and tongue felt so fresh that she forgot to brush her teeth, even though she brushed them at least twice a day in her previous life.
In addition, she did not wash her face, but still did not feel uncomfortable.
I guess it’s because of my physical condition.
"Well, our custom is to eat breakfast before brushing teeth." There was no way to explain this to Lun Xi, so he could only perfunctorily say, "I've finished eating. I'm going to the bathroom now to wash my hands and brush my teeth."
After saying that, she ran to the bed, put on Lunxi's slippers, and went into the bathroom.
He casually rinsed his mouth with clean water, then scooped up cold water from the sink with both hands, splashed it on his face a few times, rubbed it, and when he thought the time was about right, he shook off the water.
"You want one too, right?" She kicked off her slightly large slippers and passed them to Lunxi, "Here, the shoes are for you."
While she was washing up, Qi Ji shook out his cloak and put it on.
It turned out that the gray-black shirt was taken off when she took a shower yesterday, so now she could only use this set of Lunxi pajamas as a base.
But it doesn’t matter. With the cloak on, no one else can tell even if there’s nothing underneath.
"what?!"
Lunxi quickly finished washing up and picked up Qi Ji's shirt from the rack. Suddenly, he felt something strange, as if something was missing.
"and many more……"
She immediately realized the key point, poked her head out of the toilet door, frowned and asked Qi Ji:
"Hey, didn't you change your underwear?"
"What?" Qi Ji was confused.
When Lunxi saw her confused look, he gasped and exclaimed in amazement:
"No way, could it be that Xiao Qiji has always been..."
Chapter 52 Materials
The next chapter will be updated at 8pm. ==========================
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Don't even think about it!"
"How can that be possible! You must wear one now that you are this old. I have a universal cloth bag. Come on--"
"Get out! Take it away! Take it away! I don't need it!"
"Come on, be good and listen to me."
"Ahhhhhh don't come over here!!!"
"..."
"..."
Half an hour later, two slender figures, one tall and one short, appeared outside the wall of Iris Manor.
"Don't be angry, you'll get used to it after a few days..."
Lunxi was wearing the same tight-fitting clothes as yesterday morning, and he spoke softly to the short figure wearing a cloak and a hood beside him:
"Then you will find that it is much more comfortable to use it than not to use it!"
Qi Ji turned his head away angrily and ignored her.
Faced with Qi Ji's willful attitude, Lunxi was not angry, but instead had a better impression of her.
After spending some time together, she discovered that Qi Ji had many interesting characteristics.
Normally, Qi Ji is a powerful person with great strength. Although she looks very young, she has a mentality that does not match her age: almost ruthless calmness, and ruthless decisiveness.
But occasionally, she also showed the innocence and childishness unique to little girls. For example, when changing her clothes this morning, Lunxi had an illusion - the girl in front of him was just a pretty little girl.
Shy, timid, coquettish, naughty...
In short, these down-to-earth qualities make Lunxi feel that Qi Ji is a living person, rather than a symbolic idol sitting high on the throne for people to worship.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Qiji, calm down. You won't be cute when you're angry~~" Lun Xi paused for a moment when he was speaking, "Not really. You're still very cute now..."
Qi Ji pouted her lips and said nothing. She pulled the fabric on her chest with her hands from time to time, feeling that her moral integrity was completely shattered.
It feels awkward to be wrapped in something...
Lunxi insisted on wearing this thing herself, and I couldn't persuade her with words alone. I couldn't really use force, so after a struggle, I still fell into her arms.
"Really? I don't need it. It's so comfortable to just wear a base layer. What the hell is the use of this crappy thing... Tsk, no, I have to find a chance to take it off."
She puffed her cheeks, becoming more and more angry the more she thought about it, and she didn't seem to realize that this was not something to be happy about.
Lunxi was still chattering like coaxing a child: "Be good, this is a necessary stage for girls..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Suddenly, a dull and loud buzzing sound came from the distance, one after another, as if two heavy pieces of metal were constantly colliding with each other.
Qi Ji subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. The source of the sound was a tall and majestic tower. At the top of the tower, a huge double-hand clock face was embedded in it, and the hands were exactly pointed at eight o'clock.
This majestic tower is the main body of the church, the center of Stio.
The long bell rang eight times in succession. With his hearing enhanced by another leap, Qi Ji could vaguely distinguish a slow and affectionate chant amid the solemn roar.
That was coming from the bottom of the church tower, dozens or even hundreds of people chanting in unison:
“… as surging as the sun, as eternal as gold;
“The bearer of the scales, the judge of justice;
"—The dawn that dispels darkness and examines the entire earth!"
Finally, this chorus of chanting condensed into a roar as loud as a mountain roar:
“Your faithful Lamb, offering unreserved service;
“I long for your gaze, I long for your hearing;
"Give me health and purity, give me righteousness and light..."
“…Bang!——”
Only when the last echo of the bell completely faded away over the city did Lunxi say in a low voice:
"The church's bell tower has finally been repaired."
