I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse

Chapter 44: Wang Xiong’s Guidance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Give me a week, okay?”

Wang Xiong:”???”

He had to admit that he was a little confused about Lu Ming’s train of thought.

He was just going out to find something to eat.

The location was clear. It was just a matter of going back and forth.

As an Awakened, he was not afraid of zombies. Moreover, Lu Ming was so strong that he could instantly kill a hunter. Was there a need to be so conflicted?

Seeing Wang Xiong’s puzzled expression, Lu Ming thought for a moment and gave a rare explanation.

“Brother Wang, you also know that my superpower is special. I become stronger every day.

“If I go out now, to be honest, I don’t know the situation outside. Although I’ve killed many zombies, I think I mainly have the geographical advantage. It’s hard to predict what I’ll encounter outside or what sudden situations may arise. One wrong move could lead to life-threatening danger.”

Wang Xiong:”…”

He wanted to say that the outside world was really not that dangerous for you, and he heard Lu Ming saying, “So I have to prepare for a week. I think there won’t be a problem if I go out after a week.”

It was mainly because Lu Ming wanted to increase his three-dimensional attributes to about 50 points.

With such attributes, Lu Ming could feel a trace of security when he went out.

Wang Xiong continued to remain silent until Lu Ming finally said, “As for the food for this week, I’ll cover it all.”

He was his personal fitness trainer and even provided him with gravity superpowers. He even helped clean the streets. It was not too much to provide food for him.

Wang Xiong immediately nodded. “Since Brother Lu has said so, we’ll accompany Brother Lu for another week.”

There’s nothing else to say if you’re the one who provides the food…

After that, everyone went about their own business.

Wang Xiong and the others collected the corpses and did research.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming was farming archery proficiency at home.

The next day.

In other words, Monday, the 23rd day of the Apocalypse Calendar.

At eight in the morning, Lu Ming, Zhang Chengcheng, and Wang Xiong gathered at the empty space in front of Lu Ming’s house, preparing to start the day’s exercise.

Lu Ming was the main one, Zhang Chengcheng used her superpower to assist, and Wang Xiong was the guide.

“Today’s exercise: First, a warm-up. But according to your physical condition, Brother Lu, I think warm-up and endurance training can be put together.”

With that, Wang Xiong handed over a jump rope and a weighted suit.

The weighted suit weighed 30 kilograms. It would not affect the movement of the joints, but the weight was indeed real.

More importantly, the combination of weighted suit and gravity manipulation ability yielded better results.

After putting on the weighted suit and taking the jump rope, Zhang Chengcheng activated her superpower and adjusted it to 10 times.

Lu Ming started jumping.

As he jumped, Wang Xiong said, “Jump rope is a good warm-up exercise. The warm-up effect is not necessarily better than running, but jumping rope can train the body’s coordination and balance more than running.”

“If you feel that jumping rope with both feet is a little boring, you can also change to some fancy jumping methods. The training effect will be better.”

Lu Ming definitely knew how to jump rope.

However, Lu Ming was not very familiar with fancy skipping.

Fortunately, with Wang Xiong’s guidance, Lu Ming could switch back and forth between normal and fancy jumps in a few minutes.

His attributes began to increase.

The fitness skill proficiency also jumped.

After 10 minutes, Lu Ming felt that his body had been activated, and the warm-up effect was perfect.

But as long as Wang Xiong did not call for a stop, Lu Ming kept going without pause.

Twenty minutes later, beads of sweat had already begun to appear on Lu Ming’s forehead.

Wang Xiong still did not call for a stop.

Thirty minutes later, Lu Ming began to pant heavily. He looked at Zhang Chengcheng opposite him and saw that Zhang Chengcheng was beginning to struggle to maintain her superpower.

“Still not stopping?”

He couldn’t possibly jump rope all day, right?

Wang Xiong said with a cold expression, “Continue.”

Lu Ming continued.

Forty minutes.

Fifty minutes.

Until an hour later.

“Stop!”

With Wang Xiong’s order, Lu Ming immediately stopped.

Zhang Chengcheng’s legs went weak and she slumped to the ground. However, she immediately flipped her pocket and took out a Level 1 zombie crystal from it and stuffed it into her mouth.

Facing Lu Ming’s curious gaze, Wang Xiong smiled and said, “Cheng Cheng’s superpower level is still a little low. It can’t help you exercise for a long time. Last night, we tested it and found that zombie crystals can replenish the physical fitness and superpower strength of an Awakened.”

This was good news for Lu Ming.

“You should rest for a while too, but it’s not a complete rest. Even without the help of superpower, you should continue jumping. Take it as a rest.”

Lu Ming nodded. “Okay.”

He controlled his strength and continued to jump rope. However, without the help of the gravity manipulation ability, this intensity of movement was no different from breathing to Lu Ming.

About ten minutes later, Zhang Chengcheng stood up, looking quite energetic.

Wang Xiong said, “Fifteen times gravity, variation jump rope. Jump once a second, jump ten times, and then jump the rope as fast as possible for a minute. Then slow down for half a minute and jump as fast as possible for a minute.

“I’ll give you instructions. You follow my rhythm.”

Lu Ming nodded. “Okay.”

If the previous hour of jumping rope was just a warm-up, the strength of the next variation jump rope immediately increased.

Under the suppression of 15 times gravity, Lu Ming’s sports performance was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person. Coupled with the suppression of the weighted suit, every time he jumped rope at the highest speed, Lu Ming felt as if his heart was about to explode.

After half an hour, Zhang Chengcheng collapsed again. Lu Ming was so tired that he panted and could not straighten his back.

“Don’t rest. You have to continue jumping even without the help of your superpower. This is your way of resting.”

Lu Ming wiped his sweat and did as he was told.

Another ten minutes later, Lu Ming began his strength training under 15 times gravity.

Squats, duck steps, quick push-ups, turns and sit-ups.

This phase lasted for a full 40 minutes.

Sweat drenched his clothes.

Zhang Chengcheng began to take the corpse crystals again and rest until she caught her breath. Lu Ming saw Wang Xiong standing in front of him, cupping his fists and assuming a posture.

Lu Ming:”???”

Wang Xiong smiled and said, “Practical sparring.”

“Of course, I have to have some advantage. You will spar with me in a weighted suit under 10 times the gravity.”

Lu Ming: “Is this also part of the fitness plan?”

Wang Xiong nodded and said, “Practical sparring is actually the best way to exercise. In combat, it can greatly train your stamina, explosive power, reflexes, and so on. Moreover, your muscles also need to withstand blows to become stronger and stronger.”

After saying that, Wang Xiong continued, “Besides, are you really not interested in mixed martial arts?”

Lu Ming was too interested…

His interest was piqued.

Even though his body was tired, Lu Ming still moved his limbs and said solemnly to Wang Xiong, “Please enlighten me.”

It was more like Wang Xiong feeding Lu Ming moves than actual combat training.

He only defended and did not attack. From time to time, he would point out which aspect of Lu Ming’s strength was problematic and which aspect he could do better.

Anyway, Lu Ming felt that Wang Xiong was a very good teacher.

This could be seen from the feedback from the attribute panel after the training.

Strength and stamina increased by 1 point each.

During the whole morning, Lu Ming had made tremendous progress..
