Casio wanted to experiment a few more times to see if there were exceptions.
If there were exceptions, then it would provide another way to acquire energy. He still had a constant need for obsession energy, and he wouldn’t mind having more obsession antiques and legendary antiques.
Under the light, Casio took a look at the four antiques. He suddenly noted that the textures on these antiques appeared surprisingly similar, especially the tiny thorn-like edge patterns on them.
It was like they were from the same furniture series.
“Could they be old items from one ancient house or castle? Why do they all contain obsession energy, and where did the Sand Dust Organization get them from?” Doubts rose in Casio’s mind as he began pondering over several aspects.
A moment later, he glanced at the time. It was already two o’clock in the morning. Casio promptly set aside his materials, brushed his teeth, bathed, and went to bed. He didn’t want to mess up his biological clock that he had been maintaining for years. In the face of sleep, everything else had to be put aside. With sufficient rest, only then would he have the energy to practice secret martial arts during the day.
Time flew by, and morning came.
The crisp chirping of birds entered through the window, and a beam of sunlight streamed through the curtain gap onto the pristine bedspread. His eyes, closed firmly on the pillow, suddenly opened, and Casio promptly climbed out of bed.
He glanced at the alarm clock; it was already half past nine in the morning.
He quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face. Casio made a simple breakfast for himself at lightning speed. After a brief rest, he took out packages of prepared medicinal herbs from the cupboard. He moved a wooden barrel filled with boiling hot water into the empty room and threw the medicinal herb packages directly into it. Shortly after, a rich medicinal scent permeated the room.
The once-a-day medicinal bath was naturally indispensable.
Casio, entirely naked, jumped right in, and was instantly enveloped in a wave of intense heat. After a while, a stinging sensation, akin to insect bites, spread throughout his skin and muscles.
It was incessantly prickling and sometimes even unbearably itchy.
Casio started practising the breathing method, adopting a specific posture. He maintained his focus, continuously absorbing the medicinal effect from the bathwater.
Practice in secret martial arts was, to begin with, a day after day process.
Absorbing shadow demons was merely the icing on the cake; rigorous and repetitive training was the fundamental basis of everything. In less than half an hour, the tub full of hot water turned icy clear, with all the medicinal effects absorbed by Casio.
Five minutes later, he was in the bathroom, taking a cold shower.
Within a moment, Casio, wrapped in a white towel, stepped out of the bathroom with damp hair and plonked onto the sofa.
The weather was excellent that day, and through the open window on the right, one could see the sky, as blue as could be, and cotton-candy-like clouds. The wind continuously blew in from the outside, lifting the curtains.
It was already half-past ten. Casio had to tidy up, have a meal and head off to the Comprehensive Fighting Fitness Centre in the city centre.
He was an annual VIP member there.
Compared to the Grey Stamp Martial Arts Hall, Casio preferred that place. The Comprehensive Fighting Fitness Centre had more complete equipment, wider space and more thoughtful services. Besides, there would be significantly fewer women there giving him covetous glances and harbouring ulterior motives.
In reality, the aesthetic preference of this era leaned towards the rugged man style. Men with handsome and strong features, and a well-sculpted physique, were very sought after. Beautiful men weren’t chased by women. Of course, if not by women, they might be pursued by other men…
Casio brewed a cup of black tea while waiting for his hair to dry.
He took a few sips before out of boredom, he picked up the bag next to the sofa and took out and arranged the antiques from inside one by one.
After a slight fumble, Casio furrowed his brows.
He wasn’t sure if it was because his hands were wet from the shower, or the airflow that came in and turned cold, or the obsession energy had indeed recovered?
He lifted his head subconsciously to glance at the upper right corner.
The number signifying the obsession energy wasn’t changing.
Casio shut the window and reached out to touch one piece after the other. His palm indeed felt a chilly sensation.
But the numbers in the upper-right corner remained unchanged.
He was puzzled until he touched the fourth one.
Casio stopped his hand momentarily and blinked.
The data in the upper-right corner had changed!
“Obsession Energy: 3.7”
It increased by 0.1.
Could it be that the Obsession Energy restored by a single antique was too small? So they needed four antique pieces to sum up to 0.1.
Casio suspected that this was the case, he quickly took out the obsession antiques he had absorbed before and touched them again. Unfortunately, these antiques did not recover any energy.
He also touched his silver pocket watch, but it didn’t work either.
It seems that only these four antiques can recover energy.
Their origin must be shrouded in mystery!
Without dwelling on this for now, Casio reached a conclusion from this experiment: certain antiques can restore Obsession Energy. He still needs to continue his experiments to see how much Obsession Energy these four antiques can restore and to find their limit.
Regardless, this was an unexpected joy.
Casio was in a good mood now. He immediately started packing things into his shoulder bag, then put on a white T-shirt with casual pants.
There was a skull logo in the center of the T-shirt.
He opened the door and went downstairs, went to the northern part of Banner Street for lunch, then took a tram to the Central Street District of Baichuan City.
First, he found a jewelry store where they cleaned and maintained his silver pocket watch. He also got an alloy necklace there, a thin chain that could hold the pocket watch around his neck. Besides, it was sturdy enough and wouldn’t break under normal circumstances.
Additionally, the jewelry store also gave away a bottle of cleaning fluid. For simple cleaning and maintenance, Casio could do it at home.
After all, during this era equivalent to the 1950s, the development of various commercial stores was quite mature. Casio found a green newsstand on the street and walked in to buy a newspaper.
As expected, a headline was on the front page of the city newspaper.
“Gang fight on Ferren Street last night with dozens of casualties”
Underneath was a detailed report of the incident, with some not too bloody pictures. The report also included an assessment from a criminal investigation expert, saying that two gangs had a firefight over territory, and the Black Flame Gang was wiped out during the night.
“Ha-ha…” Casio chuckled.
Casio, being the culprit behind the incident, knew exactly how the Black Flame Gang members died. The conclusions drawn by the crime expert were probably because the actual evidence was too shocking.
A punch blew up a person’s head, a hand knife cut a person in half. Casio withstood bullets and crossed over ten meters in one easy step.
Some assumptions could be made based on the evidence at the scene.
The Baichuan City government had not encountered this kind of thing, and the police department was clueless. So, of course the reported content couldn’t follow the real circumstances, and came up with an excuse to brush it off.
There are no surveillance cameras in these days, the chance of the Baichuan City police department to track down Casio is almost zero.
Having finished reading the newspaper, he casually threw it into a trash can.
Casio took out a VIP card from his pocket and walked into Baichuan City’s Comprehensive Fighting Fitness Center, where he trained until the afternoon.
Almost time for work at the Grey Stamp Martial Arts Hall, he took a tram towards Red Tower Street. For Casio, teaching combat skills at the Grey Stamp Martial Arts Hall is not merely for money now, but rather to preliminarily identify and note down talented boys and girls worthy of cultivation.
For example, Tifa, Phil’s friend Milo is quite talented.
During the Era of Retrospection, Teacher Lixia was always talking about inheritance. Perhaps in the real world, Casio can select several apprentices for cultivation. At least, it would leave a sprout for the long-gone Wind Elephant Gate from seventy years ago.
The tram’s back door opened with a clatter.
A few minutes later, Casio, carrying his bag, walked into the Grey Stamp Martial Arts Hall.
“As expected, he knows how to fight. I heard he’s quite famous within the area around Snowflake Middle School. However, no matter how famous he is, he’s still an ordinary human…Against the ferocious and inhuman claws of Shadow Demon, his death is just a matter of time…” Ugo muttered to himself.
He looked at Casio’s back as he walked into the Martial Arts Hall, shook his head, then walked off into the distance. The Shadowless organization was transferring some of their forces to Baichuan City, and he needed to coordinate this.
