When Fang Rui carried Lan Ruoxi, who was tired from playing, back to the small courtyard where he lived, the latter was already sleepy and unable to open her eyes.
"I seem to be going back..."
Lan Ruoxi, who had already taken off the blindfold, tried very hard to open her eyes, but found that she could not lift her eyelids, which were as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"It's fine."
After Fang Rui gently put Lan Ruoxi on his bed, he stroked Lan Ruoxi's long hair that was slowly turning black and comforted her:
"Don't be reluctant to go back, we can meet again tomorrow."
"Really?"
"It must be true. When did I lie to you?"
"Hehe, that's great. Today...I'm...very...happy." Lan Ruoxi instinctively curled up her lips.
"Just be happy." Fang Rui also smiled unconsciously.
He looked at Lan Ruoxi's eyelids that had obviously been completely closed but were still shaking unwillingly. He couldn't help but gently scratched the latter's carved nose and said comfortingly:
"Go to sleep when you're sleepy. There's no need to hold on. Your sister is still waiting for you in your dream."
"Can...can...see her...?"
"Of course!" Fang Rui nodded.
The next thing that responded to him was Lan Ruoxi's steady breathing. It was obvious that the little girl had fallen asleep completely.
…
An hour and a half later, Lan Ruoqiao woke up.
When she opened her unique white eyes, what came into view was a shirtless Fang Rui doing daily exercises in the weight room not far away.
The latter was completely wet with sweat. Under the light, his muscles were like a work of art carved with a knife, telling her that the latter's strength was not just due to talent.
"you're awake?"
Fang Rui, who was doing push-ups with one hand, was keenly aware of the white eyes looking at him.
"Well, I just woke up!"
Lan Ruoqiao quickly looked away, but when she realized that she was sleeping behind Fang Rui's bed, she immediately climbed out of the bed with her ears turning red again.
"Are you exercising?"
Lan Ruoqiao said slightly panicked.
"Yes." Fang Rui, who was still completing his training targets, simply responded.
"Will this work?"
"Normally it's useless. But it's different with it."
Fang Rui knew what Lan Ruoqiao wanted to ask. While continuing to do push-ups with one hand, he pointed at the black dice on the side with his free hand and said:
"The special prop 'Gravity Dice' can change the gravity of all objects within three meters around me. I am now bearing six times the gravity. Under this gravity, just standing is a huge burden on my heart. The effect of exercise can be imagined
And know.”
"Can such a small thing have such a big effect?"
"Yes, it... don't come here!" Fang Rui was about to answer, but found that Lan Ruoqiao had actually walked directly into the area of 'Gravity Dice' driven by curiosity, which scared him so much that he decisively gave up rushing to complete the target.
Towards the latter.
"puff!"
Lan Ruoqiao was knocked down by Fang Rui.
"Heh heh heh heh..."
Lying under Fang Rui, she opened her eyes wide and gasped violently.
The second before she was knocked down by Fang Rui, she felt like her heart was about to explode.
This also completely refreshed her concept of the so-called six times gravity.
It turns out that it is not just as simple as carrying six times the weight of the body. The organs and blood of the whole body also have to withstand the pressure of this gravity at the same time.
Is it really possible for people to exercise under such pressure?
No wonder Fang Rui's strength is so much stronger than that of the same level. He can even perform half-step B-level moves with a D-level body.
"Sorry, your clothes were stained."
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Lan Ruoqiao, Fang Rui quickly stood up straight, but the sweat on his body inevitably got on the former's pure white dress.
"It's okay. If you hadn't reacted quickly enough, it wouldn't be impossible for me to die suddenly on the spot under that gravity."
Lan Ruoqiao shook her head gently, indicating that she didn't care about this at all.
"The 6 points in the first stage of this 'Gravity Dice' represent the limit of gravity that human beings can withstand without relying on the power of the curse. You just walked into its gravity area unpreparedly and were instantly violent.
Death is indeed possible."
"The first stage?"
"Well, it has three stages. The highest values are 'Saturday of sudden overtime work', 'Saturday of continuous overtime work' and 'Saturday of continuous all-night overtime work'. I don't have the power of curse, so I can only bear 'Saturday of sudden overtime work'.
"
"So your body has reached the limit of the human body?" Lan Ruoqiao said thoughtfully.
"Yes."
"So, without resorting to the power of the curse, the limit of human strength is D level?"
"Yes." Fang Rui nodded and explained:
"Although there have been body refiners who have reached level D or above, in terms of pure physical body, the limit of the human body is indeed level D."
"That means it's hard to improve your strength?"
"Um."
"Then let me help you become the cursed one." Lan Ruoqiao subconsciously answered, and after speaking, she was afraid that Fang Rui would misunderstand, so she added:
"Consider it as reward for helping me save Ruoxi."
"I will definitely receive the reward. You can't expect me to help you just out of kindness, right?"
"Of course I don't expect it, I just expect you to accept less." Lan Ruoqiao joked.
"It's not difficult for you." Fang Rui didn't say much and directly changed the subject:
"Have you seen Ruoxi?"
"Yes." Lan Ruoqiao nodded and said with a beautiful smile on her pretty face:
"She chatted with me for a long, long time! However, most of them were talking about you, about how you taught her how to use chopsticks, about how you took her to eat delicious food, about how you took her out to play, and about how you taught her how to use chopsticks.
You took her to meet new friends, and finally told her how good she was at fishing, which scared the snake to the point of barking like a dog.
It can be seen that she is really happy with your company these two days..."
Saying that, Lan Ruoqiao suddenly bowed towards Fang Rui, looked at the latter with some tears and said:
"Thank you very much for making her so happy!"
"It should be." Fang Rui shook his head and couldn't help but said with a smile:
"Because I really like her too. She is so clean and simple. Being with her makes me feel relaxed."
"It seems that you have been under a lot of pressure since you came back from the future."
"Yes, because the object of my revenge is a bit out of reach."
"May I know who your revenge is against?"
"I'll tell you later, what's more important now is Ruoxi's matter."
"Hmm..." Lan Ruoqiao nodded without asking too many questions.
"Then is there anything you need my help with next?"
"Not in the past two days. The main thing is to help Ruoxi re-understand the world and let her thinking logic keep up with the rhythm of normal people."
"What happens after that?"
"I need you to help me purify some F-level cursed objects, and there are a lot of them."
"Level F?" Lan Ruoqiao was slightly stunned, mistakenly thinking that Fang Rui wanted to try to become a curser, so she said:
"With me here, you don't have to be so conservative. You can directly try to identify the owner of a D-level curse. Purifying a D-level curse is not difficult for me."
"You misunderstood." Fang Rui shook his head and explained:
"These cursed objects are not for me."
"Not for you?" Lan Ruoqiao paused, then suddenly said:
"You mean those cursed objects were prepared for Ruoxi?!"
"Yes, her ability is to devour. The pure curse power from devouring cursed objects should be of great benefit to her.
It can help her quickly recover her strength. However, her current strength is really too weak, and she can barely absorb the curse power of an F-level cursed object, so she needs your help to purify part of it first."
"Okay!" Lan Ruoqiao nodded heavily. It was her duty to help Lan Ruoxi.
"In addition..." Fang Rui looked at Lan Ruoqiao and added:
"Because cursed objects are more or less stained with the blood of humans or other beings, they will inevitably bring some negative energy. When Xixi devours them, they will definitely be affected by these effects to a greater or lesser extent.
Therefore, I need you to work with me to always pay attention to her mental state. Once a problem occurs, we need to temporarily terminate the plan, otherwise even if we can save her, she may not be the same as she is now."
"Is this too dangerous?" After hearing Fang Rui's words, Lan Ruoqiao was worried and said:
"She is so pure and clean, but she may not be able to defend herself in the face of these negative energies."
"I have already considered your concerns, so instead of letting her absorb the cursed object to replenish her vitality, I first took her to get to know the world and feel its beauty.
The purpose is to plant beautiful seeds first in her extremely blank and simple world view, so that these seeds can help her stick to her true heart."
"But is this really useful?" Lan Ruoqiao still felt uneasy.
"Useful. To use a not-so-nice metaphor, she is like a piece of pure white paper now. As long as we work hard to paint her with the color we want, and then help her wipe off other stained colors in time,
She will always be the color we need."
"But I still feel something is wrong..."
"But there's no better way, is there?"
"How about... how about... I consult my cousin? He is very close to me and should be able to help us. He is also more qualified than..."
"Don't you believe me?" Fang Rui interrupted Lan Ruoqiao's suggestion.
"I believe it because I know you are telling the truth, but just because I believe it doesn't mean..."
"Doesn't it mean I'm right? Doesn't it mean I'm reliable?" Fang Rui saw Lan Ruoqiao's worry.
"Yes, after all, although you are a genius, but..."
"No buts, have you forgotten that I am a reborn person, a person from the future?" Fang Rui interrupted Lan Ruoqiao again, then looked directly into the latter's white eyes filled with worry, and said:
"Perhaps I am a little weaker now, but in my previous life, your father had to kneel down and call out the existence of the generalissimo when he saw me.
So, if I am not reliable, I think there will be no reliable people on this planet."
"..." Lan Ruoqiao was stunned, because Fang Rui was so arrogant and arrogant at the moment, and because her eyes actually told her that what Fang Rui said was true.
In other words, Fang Rui in the previous life was really her father who basically stood at the top of the Southeast State, and she was a being who needed to bow down to him?!
