What followed was a loud battle against the dishes of the table. The food was butchered with utmost savagery, and the sounds only stopped after dozens of minutes pa.s.sed with a loud burp, that closed the dance. Wind had regained his colors, and the young official could be seen picking bits of cooked flesh from between his teeth while sighing as if he had fought a battle that edged between life and death."F..k!", he cursed while patting the bulge in his stomach. He swiped the layer of grease that had acc.u.mulated near his oiled lips and grabbed a cup filled with beer; before sending it to tumble down his throat.
"Bro, you should open a restaurant. For real, you"ve got yourself quite a decent path in case you are in need of money!", Wind exclaimed as his bulls.h.i.t was revived with his now healthy const.i.tution.
"If all my customers end up like you. Eating to their fill, and paying nothing, I"ll probably end up bankrupt before finishing the first month of service.", Fell responded while rolling his eyes.
"By the way, talking about food, you remember the four n.o.ble families?"
"Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds you were humiliating when we first met?", responded Wind between two sips.
"Yeah, well tonight they"ve invited us for a banquet. Better digest what you ate quickly because I"m sure that they"ll have loads of tasty food to eat."
"Hmm…", grunted Wind while closing his eyes. "Tasty food…", he mumbled before gulping another sip of the fresh beverage in front of him.
Before long, Fell got up from his chair and slapped Wind to do the same. The kitchen was swiftly cleaned, and in a few minutes, both youths were ready to get out.
"Did you check the crystal"s content?", asked Fell while wiping his hand with a nearby towel.
"Not yet, I was planning on doing it this morning, but I didn"t wake up in the best condition.", he responded with a self deprecating grin. "I think I"ll go take a look at it now; it might help me burn some calories.", he added before leaving for his room.
After sitting alone in the living room for a few minute, Fell"s eyes opened widely, and a slap was snapped at his forehead, "I completely forgot the translation of the manual?!", he exclaimed while hearing a deafening roar escape from Wind"s room.
"You"ll get used to it…", he mumbled while thinking about the pain that came with information transfer. Wind was currently in the midst of receiving the knowledge from the cultivation crystal; his muscles screamed as his body convulsed, and veins had popped all over his body as he grunted between his clenched teeth.
"Good luck with the pain.", cheered Fell in a loud voice that was probably heard by Wind. He then left the apartment again and departed for Golden Factory"s building with hastened steps as the afternoon was nearly coming to its end.
A few minutes after his departure, he arrived in front of the large building and barged through the reception hall before entering the elevator. He arrived in the floor he rented after a short ascension, and speedily entered in the comprehension room. There, he found a large screen and rows of books that were put on shelves.
He fumbled through them in a hurry, and only found knowledge related to martial arts and exercise concepts. He approached the screen and began fiddling through its content with his hand and soon enough found what he was looking for.
"AI, download everything that can be used from here.", he ordered before sitting on the floor. "How long will it take you?", he asked as he didn"t want to sit here for the rest of the day.
"10:25 minutes are needed to completely copy this knowledge into my database, compressing before the transfer might accelerate the process."
"Do it.", he mumbled before closing his eyes. He regulated his breathing and soon fell in a slight meditative state where his energy began cycling through his meridians. His energy pathways were flooded with dense, nearly liquid energy that caused it to spread all over his body through his meridians.
The density of his energy had grown to the point where he only needed to start refining bits of energy for his body to do the rest. He used his freed focus to sharpen his will, and through it, his soul turned into a sword that he began grinding. Sadly, he still didn"t find a way to train his body at the same time as the two other systems. But he knew that the time would give him an answer to this specific problem.
He was already content in being capable of cultivating his energy and soul at the same time; as usually, one needed to focus entirely on one domain to acquire progress. As he dabbled in training, he was awakened by an acute beep from his a.s.sist AI, and opened his eyes from the short meditation.
A sharp glint escaped from his pupils and traveled a few inches out of his eyes before disappearing. He put some strength in his hand and lightly slapped the ground to propel himself upward. "Everything is finished?"
"Yes."
His hand began ma.s.saging his shoulders as he thought about the golden colored manual. After a few seconds, he asked another question, "Calculate how long would it take for the manual"s translation."
Not long after his answer, a series of electronic beeps resounded in his mind, and a robotic voice echoed shortly after that.
"Due to my database being filled with sufficient knowledge, I can a.s.sure master that the manual will be translated in: 7 months, 4 days, and 11:22 hours!"
"Now that"s better than the hundreds of years!", he exclaimed with a grin on his lips. He slapped his tight as his eyes glinted from the good news, and ordered the AI to begin the procedure.
"Begin!", with that last word, he closed the comprehension room behind him, and left the Golden Factory with satisfaction clearly drawn on his face.
