Other Taste

The elevator door closed slowly. In the elevator, Xiang Kun held Liu Shiling's hand and stood beside Shiling's mother. Meanwhile, Miss Yang was holding her dog, Pinkie, on the other side.

However, the husky was no longer as excited as before. It curled up into a ball and stuck close to the corner of the elevator, as if it wanted to hide itself in the wall. No matter how Miss Yang tried to pull it away, it was useless.

Husky was often referred to as a "bingo" because it often had a seizure and a bingo. It was also less obedient. It loved to cause trouble and tear down homes. Together with Alaska and Samoyed, it was referred to as a "Silly Three".

But in fact, whether it was the husky or the other two sled dogs, their intelligence was not low. The sled dogs themselves were working dogs tamed by Siberian herdsmen. When they pulled sleds in the snowstorm, their ability to differentiate directions was better than humans, so they often needed the lead dog to make decisions and choices.

Therefore, the sled dogs weren't very obedient, not because they didn't understand their master's orders and intentions, but because they felt that they were smarter than their master and liked to act on their own, and their master didn't establish enough WeChat to subdue them. Or perhaps they just wanted to be mischievous and achieve their own goals.

It was obvious that Miss Yang's husky was not trained well. It was even lower in status than its owner.

Xiang Kun knew that the husky was not trying to attack the girl. It was just trying to play with her. However, under such circumstances, it would be a huge shock to Xiang Kun if he was hit.

At the end of the day, it was Miss Yang's fault for not teaching the dog well.

However, although Miss Yang could not control her pet, Xiang Kun could.

Previously, when he was "patrolling" at night, he would occasionally encounter wild dogs, wild cats, or people walking their dogs in the middle of the night.

At that time, he had realized that when the cats and dogs noticed him, he would hold his breath, tighten his muscles slightly, and reveal a fierce aura. They would immediately retreat or even lie on the ground, even if he did not do anything.

He had once encountered a Labrador whose owner had let go of the leash and wanted to sniff him. However, the moment the Labrador saw Xiang Kun, it immediately lay on the ground and did not dare to move. Moreover, the next day, even though the Labrador was being held by its owner, it immediately crouched down when it saw Xiang Kun and did not dare to move.

Back at home, Xiang Kun had experimented with the rabbit that he had bought. It had also scared the rabbit into a ball.

However, it seemed to be useless against birds. The pigeons on the square and the sparrows on the wall were completely ignored by his "intimidation". When he went to the market, the chickens and ducks were also ignored.

Xiang Kun guessed that the cats, dogs, and other animals had sensitive senses and could sense the strong danger from his pheromones.

Anyway, he was certain that Miss Yang's Husky would avoid him or the chubby girl whenever it saw him.

The chubby girl held Xiang Kun's hand and stuck her head out from his thigh out of curiosity. As she looked at the husky who was "facing the wall" at the corner of the elevator, the fear in her eyes slowly disappeared.

"If you're not afraid of it, it will be afraid of you," said Xiang Kun as he patted the girl's head.

Shiling's mother looked at Xiang Kun and then at the husky in the corner. She was confused. She could see clearly that the dog had been "frightened" by Xiang Kun.

The elevator reached the first floor very quickly. Miss Yang still could not pull her dog out of the elevator even after Xiang Kun had led the chubby girl and Shiling's mother out of the electronic door.

…

After leaving the district and saying goodbye to the girl and her mother, Xiang Kun walked quickly and started running after 10 minutes.

He ran very fast, attracting the attention of many passers-by. Seeing him carrying his bag, they thought that he was rushing to work, so they were not surprised.

Of course, they did not know that Xiang Kun would run more than 20 kilometers.

Xiang Kun did not run at his maximum speed. Instead, he ran at a moderate speed so that he could observe and think at the same time.

He had roughly measured a hundred-meter speed once, which was around 11 seconds.

To most people, this was a shocking result. At the very least, it was at the level of a level-two national athlete. However, to Xiang Kun, since it was not beyond the limits of the human body, it could only be considered average.

However, in terms of long-distance running, Xiang Kun felt that he could easily break a few world records.

After all, his recovery ability was simply too fast. He could run for a long time at an extremely fast speed. After reaching his limit, he could jog for a while before continuing in full condition. If he were to use it in a marathon, it could be said to be cheating.

While running, Xiang Kun was also observing his surroundings. He recorded the situation of the surrounding streets, shops, and other landmarks. He compared them with the online map that he had seen the night before and created a 3D map of the area in his mind.

This was because he was going to live nearby in the future, so he needed to understand the environment of this area. At the same time, he also trained his observation skills and memory.

Xiang Kun took more than an hour to reach the gym. This speed was much slower than using public transportation, but it was a good result compared to running. Moreover, Xiang Kun did not sweat much and did not show any signs of fatigue.

However, after spending the morning in the gym, Xiang Kun decided not to come to the gym anymore.

When the young trainer at the boxing gym downstairs heard that Xiang Kun had come to the gym, he came over and asked Xiang Kun if he wanted to join the gym. He did not want Xiang Kun to be a student but a boxer. He revealed that one of the founders of the gym, the old trainer who was the referee, was willing to teach Xiang Kun personally.

Xiang Kun thanked them for their kindness but still rejected them.

This incident made him realize that his recent performance at the gym, in addition to his performance at the boxing gym a few days ago, as well as his hike with Tang Baona, had made many people notice his specialness. Naturally, they would pay more attention to him.

Although he knew that the people in the gym might not pester him anymore after he rejected them, they would still pay attention to him. It was as if he no longer used his extreme weight to carry out training such as lying down, squatting, and pulling. However, many coaches and members in the gym would still pay attention to his training. After all, his first three major results in the gym had already been spread. Everyone would be curious about how he trained.

Under such circumstances, his training in the gym would naturally become a little restricted and he would have many concerns.

Therefore, although the membership card had just been opened and there was no way to transfer it, Xiang Kun could only change places to train.

Fortunately, the training he was doing now was not very reliant on equipment. He could do it with his bare hands.

Therefore, after leaving the gym, Xiang Kun spent the entire afternoon searching for a secluded city center within 10 kilometers of his residential area.

The final destination was a small hill about four kilometers away from the district.

There was an abandoned construction site at the foot of the mountain. It was supposed to be a villa area, but for some reason, it wasn't built.

The residents on the side of the mountain had already moved away. The mountainside was in a mess, and no one came over. There were weeds everywhere, and even the roads were difficult to find.

When the sun set and the sky turned dark, this place became even more quiet. There wasn't a single bit of light to be seen. When he looked at the few small districts in the distance, he felt as if he was watching the outside world from the shadows.

Xiang Kun was very satisfied with this place and decided to practice for the time being.

Although it was not very far from the residential area, the smell, sound, and light were much less disturbing. It was very suitable for Xiang Kun to train his senses.

Compared to the smell of cities and residential areas, the smell in the mountains was much simpler. However, to Xiang Kun, it was relatively unfamiliar.

He smelled something rotten and bloody. It was not far from him. According to his analysis, it should be the corpse of a rat?

He followed the smell and switched on his phone's light to see that there was indeed a rat that had died tragically in the haystack.

After confirming his judgment, Xiang Kun was about to leave. However, he suddenly stopped and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to distinguish the pheromones in the air.

Apart from the smell of the rat, there was another smell. Was it left behind by an animal that had hunted the rat?
