Researching for the Future
Jason looks into himself to completely understand his changes. He had to theorize a few things but he still notices more details than before.
It seemed that his breakthroughs weren't as simple as the word body refinement suggested.
He noticed that its not just his physical body that was going through refinement from the Qi. It was everything about him that was being refined. That included his mental energy.
As Jason was a smart student, he already did some rudimentary studies on mental energy. Mostly to find a way to focus more on exams though.
He realized that his mental energy was stronger after the breakthrough. This enabled him to control his body functions better, meaning that its the reason his control of most of the muscles in his body came from.
He could feel that because of the boost, he could focus a lot more and his comprehension power had also risen to a new level.
He no longer had any delay in trying to interpret the signals he got from his sensory organs.
Jason theorized that there were lots of changes to his body but they were too minute for him to notice. He decided to hold it off and check again in detail after breaking through a few more levels.
He wanted to relax and go out but he looked at the clock and noticed that it was late at night so he decided to just go to bed and leave his plans for the next day.
He woke up surprisingly early in the morning. It was about 6am when he woke up and he felt so energetic and didn't have the urge to go back to bed like he usually would.
He then decided to pass time for a while so he decided to call someone. He settled on his little sister back home.
His sister's name was Jessica Wang. He absolutely adored his little sister. They had an awesome sibling relationship cause they had relied on each other for most of their childhood till university.
She was only 2 years younger than him so she was about 20 years old. But he still treated her like she was a little girl. To him, she always would be that little girl he annoyed and pranked a lot.
He decided to video call her since its almost about time for her to sleep back home.
The phone rang just twice before she picked up her sweet voice came through the phone and filled the room.
"Her brotherly, what's up" Her voice echoed in the noiseless hotel room.
Hearing her voice, brought a smile to Jason's face and he felt even more energetic than before.
He always told himself that no matter how he would end up in the future, he would make sure that his sister lived a comfortable life for sure even if he had to sacrifice a lot to make that happen.
"Hey trouble maker, why aren't you asleep right now? You need me to sing you a lullaby or what?" He answered naughtily.
"Who wants to hear you sing. Even a dog would howl in pain at your singing voice. It's not something that the world needs to hear to spare humanity please." And the bickering of siblings started at that moment.
They kept going at each other for a few more minutes before they finally started having a stable conversation.
Jason asked about his mom and Jessica said that she was asleep already. Jessica said that their mom complained about work being more stressful because of an annoying coworker making things more difficult for her.
Jason and his sister proceeded to talk and gossip about the happening around them.
Jason did not tell his sister anything about the chaos of the future because he wanted his family to enjoy these last few months in happiness and not have to worry too much.
He was going to work hard to make sure that even when the world changes, his family was going to have an easier time sailing through everything.
Their talk went on for about an hour before she started complaining that his voice was damaging her eardrums and that she needed to heal them up.
Before he could retort her, she abruptly ended the call leaving him hanging with his mouth open.
He could only lament his missed chance silently. He knew that she must have been sleepy and that's why she ended the call.
He dropped the phone and stretched his body and looked out the window to welcome a new day properly.
He went into the bathroom to wash his face and brush. He cleaned himself up well before finally walking out refreshed.
Thinking about the future, he felt like he needed to research and arm himself with more information so he went over to the desk and opened his laptop and started work.
He started off researching miss Felicia and her company to fully understand who he wanted to get into his group.
Apparently, she was a 31-year-old lady who owned one of the largest malls in Milan. The mall had about 400 stores in it and was called Cassidy mall.
The mall made millions of dollars every year. It was one of the better attractions in Milan which gave her considerable influence in the city alone.
She started the mall 9 years ago and in just close to a decade, it had grown to be one of the largest malls.
The mall was named after her 10-year-old daughter Cassidy. Felicia adored her daughter. All her posts in her social media account had pictures of her and her daughter.
It could be seen that she spoiled her daughter a lot and worked hard to give her nothing but the best that could be offered.
He was really impressed with everything he read about her and reaffirmed his decision to get closer to her and recruit her into the group.
He then decided to check up some martial arts online to see if he could learn anything extra.
With his improved comprehension ability, he thought it would be easier to pick up martial arts online.
He started by researching about Chinese qinggong. He was a fan of Chinese culture and thought about using martial arts that originated in China.
Qinggong turned out to be a technique that enabled users to perform almost unimaginable feats to a normal person.
The degree of flexibility that the martial arts needed was appalling but Jason thought that with his improved body, he could master the move and maybe take it to the next level.
He looked through the technique for several minutes committing everything to memory before he decided to practice it and see how far his skills could take him.
He searched the GPS for every gym around with private practice halls. He found one easily after searching and decided to head there a bit after breakfast.
He quickly ordered a heavy breakfast and finished it really fast. His metabolism had been boosted after breaking through so he could digest all of that food easily.
The gym was a 40-minute walk from the hotel so he decided to jog there to thoroughly digest his food and also warm up a bit before getting there.
He changed into his sportswear; red shorts, a black polo shirt, and black sports shoes.
He looked at himself in the mirror and admired his looks a little bit before proceeding to jog all the way to the gym while listening to music with his earphones and singing along to the song.
His singing definitely got many heads turned his way on the streets but he ignored them all and jogged like a celebrity down to the gym.
