I discovered that there is an "energy storage bar" in my body, which is invisible and intangible, but it does exist. Each time you receive a slap, the energy bar will advance one space.
I tried hitting myself against walls, pinching myself, and wrestling, but it didn't work.
It must be an attack by someone else, it must be with strong malice, it must be a public humiliation.
And Chen Guizhi is the best charging pile.
She hit me every day, sometimes two or three times a day, sometimes five or six times a week.
But for some reason, the energy storage bar has been stuck at a certain node, as if it is missing a trigger point for "qualitative change".
Until today.
I opened my collar further and stared at the animal prints in the mirror.
The silver mark has faded, leaving only a shallow mark that sticks to the skin like a tattoo. But in my mind, a cold voice suddenly sounded——
"Animal progress: 4/9."
That sound was like an ice cube, smashing into my brain.
I froze.
It repeated again: "The fourth slap is fully charged. After the ninth time, you will see your mount."
