022 A long night of unintentional sleep
Zuo Rong dared to swear that if he participated in sports at this time, he would definitely shock the students' attention... No, let alone the school sports meeting, he suspected that he could even attend the Olympics.
Whether it is a close sprint, a jump on the spot, or a long jump, his performance at this time has far exceeded his physical limits. Although there are no horizontal bars in this place and no pull-ups can be done on the spot, he has no doubt that this small project is no longer difficult now.
Zuo Rong supported the ground with both hands, and did a few push-ups on his back.
Aunt Du applauded next to her: "It's good to have a high level of magic affinity. This auxiliary spell is very effective on you."
Duna also echoed: "You are really suitable to be a guard knight."
Zuo Rong supported his arm, turned over, and stood up straight with his feet.
He clapped his hands: "By the way, this spell is time-consuming, right?"
Aunt Du nodded.
Zuo Rong: "How long can you last?"
Aunt Du thought for a moment and replied: "From the spell to take effect, the effect will begin to decline slowly. It will decrease to your original physical level in about two or three hours."
Zuo Rong heard a hint of uncertainty in the word "bar" at the end of the clause. So he suddenly recalled that Aunt Du said at the beginning was "doing experiments". In other words, Aunt Du could not confirm the effect of this power-assisted spell.
Also, as I said before, the effects of this type of spell vary from person to person, and may vary in different people...
Zuo Rong asked nervously again: "Will there be side effects?"
This time, Aunt Du thought for a little longer.
In silence, Zuo Rong became more and more nervous.
Fortunately, after thinking for a while, Aunt Du's answer was quite certain: "Except for the end, if you make your body a little tired, there will basically be no other side effects. Didn't I just say that your physical fitness will decay to the original level in about two or three hours - after that, the decay will not stop and will continue. But it will definitely not hurt the fundamentals."
Zuo Rong: "Definitely not?"
Aunt Du: "Definitely not."
Zuo Rong felt a little relieved: "That's good..."
Aunt Du said again: "Tonight's experiment, this is just a spell. Zijian should be back home soon, let's go back too."

After Zuo Rong got home, he hurriedly washed up, took a shower, and went to bed.
Zuo Zijian also got home, and was even more exhausted. He didn't even take a shower, so he fell asleep on the pillow.
But Duna and Du Yalan don’t need to get up at six o’clock, so there is no need to rush to sleep. The mother and daughter walked out of the house and took the elevator to the rooftop.
After all, there is Zuo Zijian in the master bedroom, Zuo Rong's second bedroom, and there is a trembling little hamster in the study. The mother and daughter had to talk without any scruples, so they had to come out.
On the rooftop, the night wind blew against the two of them. The girl's long white hair fluttered with the wind, which made her subconsciously raise her hand to sort it out.
The mother looked at her and suddenly asked, "How is your recent magic recovery speed?"
The girl thought for a few seconds and said, "It seems pretty good, slightly better than I expected."
"It's better than I expected..." When my mother said this, she suddenly stopped.
Both of them knew that there were two main ways to restore magic.
The first one is to recover naturally through sleep and meditation. However, the magic content of this world is extremely thin, and if you don’t sense carefully, you can even ignore it. Therefore, natural recovery is not realistic at all here.
The second type is to absorb the mental power of others through emotional communication and convert it into magic. Du Yalan works in a cat cafe and uses this method. This method has a limitation, that is, it cannot happen between magicians, otherwise they will snatch magic power from each other. In other words, it must be an emotional communication between magicians and non-magicians.
So what is going on with Duna?
This child has been staying at home recently. Who can he have emotional connection with? Who can help her?
The mother and daughter looked at each other without saying a word, and they all realized what each other wanted to say...
The girl suddenly lowered her face and said, "I am a little adapted to this world now. Mom, I will also go to cat cafe to work with you in the future, right?"
But the mother shook her head without hesitation: "I'm enough to work in a cat cafe. If two cats have extraordinary performance, it's too eye-catching and a little dangerous. You know now how developed the information in this world is."
Girl: "But you are the only one who works outside and I'm idle at home. This... I don't like this."
"Dorna," the mother rarely called out the name of the girl in another world, "You are still young, much younger than me. What is most important to you is not the present, but the future. Take the time to learn more things, and in the future, how to truly gain a foothold in this world is what you should consider."
The girl looked at her mother's face, and her gentle and friendly eyes that were hard to disobey, couldn't help but fall silent.
After a while, Du Yalan suddenly chuckled and said, "To put it bluntly, Zijian not only doesn't know my true identity, but also doesn't know my real age."
Duna muttered in a low voice: "If he knew..."
Du Yalan sighed: "So, don't let him know. At home, just let me be an ordinary person. This is the easiest and safest."

Zuo Rong lay on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
The spell of strengthening power had gradually dissipated. He could feel that the endless power in his muscles had been lost, and his limbs were slightly tired.
But the problem arose, his mind was still clearer, and he was more awake than during the day.
"This is like Red Bull..."
Zuo Rong murmured to himself and sat up. He picked up the cell phone on the bedside table and looked at it, and he saw that it was already past three in the morning.
It is less than four hours before the start of morning reading.
"I'll take a break..." Zuo Rong was so worried that he was about to pull off all his hair, "What should I do?"
Outside the window, you can see the residential building opposite in darkness, and all the lights in the rooms are gone. Obviously, everyone is asleep and there will be no one on the lights.
He suddenly felt a little thirsty.
He turned over and got out of bed, put on a piece of clothing, and walked out of the bedroom.
Then, when he walked to the sofa in the living room, he heard a sound of metal colliding.
Following the sound, he saw the cage placed on the windowsill of the living room.
The hamster cage was originally placed in the study, but now it seems that Duna probably didn't want to live in the same room with this little thing that was originally an enemy, so she moved the cage to this place.
Zuo Rong came over and saw the hamster shrinking into a ball.
There was a dead silence in the living room. I let go of the fine and crisp sounds just now, and they had never sounded.
"Stop pretending, you were gnawing the cage just now, right?" Zuo Rong whispered.
The hamster was still motionless and pretended to be asleep.
Zuo Rong picked up the cage and shook it hard: "So many messy things can't sleep, you're all blamed!"
Then he put down the cage, took a sip of water, and went back to the bedroom. In the last few hours, he tried to have a little sleep.
As for the hamster, the two small front paws tightly held the edge of the cage, and the little eyes rolled out the whites. After dizzying for a while, they realized more and more anger - what does it have to do with me if you can't sleep!
