Chapter 16 "Matcha" Cake
“The difficulty has increased.”
"Trial: Seven Star Steps (2)"
"Trial content: When the wooden stake lights up, please get on the lit wooden stake within 1 second."
"Venue buff: time remains still, and physical strength is unlimited."
In the description of the trial.
Except that the content has changed from Seven Star Steps to Seven Star Steps (2).
Nothing else seems to have changed.
Well, there is no change in the description.
Actually...
"this..."
Shen He's eyelids were twitching.
The first is that the height of the wooden stakes has increased.
It has changed from about three or four meters to about seven or eight meters.
In terms of height, it has doubled.
Secondly, the radius of each wooden stake has shrunk.
The original diameter was about 30 centimeters, but now it is less than 20 centimeters.
What's even more outrageous is...
Originally there was only flat ground between the wooden stakes, but now it has turned into flowing red magma.
"Gulu..."
Shen He swallowed.
"System, do you have to be so cruel? I'm just talking." Shen He complained.
Unfortunately,...it's of no use.
After the system sound rang once, it stopped completely.
Playing the missing game again.
What does it feel like to fall into boiling lava?
Shen He said that, actually, he didn’t feel anything, just that he felt like he was living a life worse than death.
Screams filled the entire pure white space.
Shen He interpreted it perfectly.
What does it mean that human potential is infinite?
After experiencing countless times of being in a state worse than death, Shen He could once again skillfully move and jump back and forth between the wooden stakes that were less than 20 centimeters in diameter and seven or eight meters high.
"System, is this OK?"
Shen He asked cautiously.
After the consequences of his previous boasting, he no longer dared to show off.
"Good, the stage target has been reached, and the next stage has begun."
“The difficulty has increased.”
"Trial: Seven Star Steps (3)"
"Trial content: When the wooden stake lights up, please get on the lit wooden stake within 1 second."
"Venue buff: time remains still."
The system's words plunged Shen He into deep despair.
I rely on!
I haven't even started to brag, but there is actually a next stage?
In other words, the second stage has just begun, so it has nothing to do with his boasting?
No matter what his attitude is, the second stage must be started.
The third phase begins.
Shen He was surprised to find that there seemed to be no difference from the second stage.
The stakes are still as high.
Only the magma below was replaced by spikes.
There was no change in either the height or the diameter of the wooden stakes.
It seems that this change is totally incomparable to the leap-forward change in the second stage compared to the first stage?
Shen He came to the first wooden stake.
It feels like... it's a lot more real. I feel a little tired after doing this little bit of exercise...
Um? ! ! !
Why are you tired?
Isn't it unlimited stamina?
At this time, Shen He suddenly realized something.
It seems that there is no infinite stamina this time.
The puppet that he was controlling now had the same amount of physical strength as himself.
"No way? Is this how you play?"
As expected, there was another round of wailing.
Shen He experienced what it felt like to be pierced by thousands of arrows.
In this pure white space, there is no flow of time.
Shen He didn't know how long he had been in this space.
"Ding, congratulations on completing the Seven Star Steps training (6). The training is over."
Following a flash of white light.
Shen He, lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes.
All I see is exhaustion and fatigue.
"Is it finally over?"
Shen He blinked twice, looked at the unfamiliar ceiling above his head, and fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep lasted for a whole day.
When Shen He opened his eyes again, he saw a girl with white hair lying beside his bed.
If not Furninna, then who else?
The ward was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
A white-haired girl was lying beside the bed, her eyes fixed on the patient, her expression revealing concern and worry.
She gently held Shen He's hand, as if conveying her strength and warmth.
The girl's white hair fell down her back like a waterfall, swaying gently with her movements.
She was wearing a white dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem, giving people a sense of purity and elegance. There was no makeup on her face, only the tears in the corners of her eyes and her slightly red lips, which made people feel her inner sadness and anxiety.
A bunch of rainbow roses was placed next to the bed, emitting a faint fragrance, bringing some vitality and warmth to the entire ward.
The girl didn't seem to notice any of this, her entire attention was focused on the patient.
She raised her head from time to time, observing Shen He's expression and breathing, then lowered her head and prayed softly.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the girl never left the bedside.
"Fufu? Why are you crying again?"
Shen He struggled to sit up.
"Shen He, you're awake?" Funina looked at Shen He with surprise.
"Who is crying? It's just that sand was blown into my eyes." Funina said stubbornly.
"The doctor said that you were seriously injured. Fainting is your body's self-protection mechanism. If you can't wake up, you'll never wake up again." Funina said self-reproachfully.
If it weren't for her, Shen He would be fine.
This idiot could obviously run away, the Fatui's target was her.
Too badly injured? Fainted?
Shen He was a little amused.
It was obvious that the systematic training he received was too mentally taxing, which led to his condition.
"By the way, are you hungry?"
Furninna stood up and walked to the cabinet beside her.
There is an exquisite food box on the cabinet.
"Cuckoo cuckoo..."
Shen He's stomach cooperated very well and made a sound asking for food.
"I'm hungry."
Shen He looked eagerly at the food box in Funina's hand and said.
"I knew you must be hungry, so I brought you some food. I made it... myself." Funina said shyly.
She is the dignified God of Water, and she made it specifically for someone.
"Here, open your mouth."
Funina opened the food box, and inside was a small portion of matcha cake.
"This is my first time doing this, you...try it."
Funina took out the cake, scooped out a spoonful with a spoon, and handed it to Shen He's mouth.
Suddenly, Shen He remembered something.
Suddenly I lost my appetite.
Funina...seems like a country girl, she can’t cook, right?
When looking at the green cake in Funina's hand at this time, Shen He felt something was not right.
"Is this matcha cake?" Shen He asked cautiously.
"Matcha cake? No, it's a mushroom cake. The green layer on top looks like this after it's baked. Doesn't it look good?" Funina said proudly.
This is her first finished product, and it looks very good.
To keep it intact, she herself didn't move.
Humph, Shen He got a good deal.
