Lu Yuan lived in an old residential building that was six floors high.
Most old residential buildings are six stories tall since, by regulation, any building more than six floors required the installation of an elevator. To save costs, developers in the past typically maxed out at six floors.
The rooftop was roughly 22 meters above the ground.
Lu Yuan did some quick physics calculations in his head and arrived at a somewhat suicidal conclusion.
His untrained skeleton and internal organs might not withstand the shock of the fall and rupture, but due to his 17-point physique, he definitely wouldn’t die.
But the calculation didn’t take into account the "light body" effect of agility.
What Lu Yuan wanted to verify was precisely this part.
During his previous sniper attack on the Crow God Sect’s Divine Servant in the southern city outskirts, he had, in one burst of strength, leaped more than ten meters into the air and was perfectly fine after the fall.
And back then, his agility was two points less than it is now.
Of course, that fall happened to be onto soft muddy ground, and the distance he fell was only about half of what he was contemplating now.
Logically speaking, there should be no problem...
Lu Yuan looked down and began to simulate how he should buffer the fall to reduce the impact and avoid damaging his skeletal structure and internal organs.
After repeating the simulation about a dozen times, he took a step forward.
Just as he was about to take the leap, he noticed a man and a woman on the fourth-floor balcony of the building opposite, pointing and gesturing towards him.
The man even quickly took out his cell phone, as if intending to film him.
The weak impulse in Lu Yuan’s heart vanished instantly.
He stepped back from the edge of the rooftop, pretending to stretch his body, putting on the appearance of someone who had just whimsically and boredly come up to the edge of the rooftop for a moment.
The man on the balcony who had been filming with his cell phone showed a clearly disappointed expression.
What a scumbag... I’ll have the crows steal your clothes drying on the balcony every day.
Lu Yuan memorized the apartment number of the nosy neighbors, plotting to himself.
Then he turned and left the rooftop. He had thought of a better way to test.
A figure suddenly dashed out from the shore and sped towards the center of the river.
The figure made a running motion, creating splash after splash on the water surface.
He managed to run for several dozen meters before gradually sinking into the water.
Then he swam back to shore and repeated the action.
After trying four or five times, Lu Yuan finally ended his agility test and sat down on the pebble beach by the river.
He pushed his wet hair back, let the sun dry the water on his body, and pondered over the test.
It has a bit of a ’floating on water’ feel from the novels. Especially the first ten meters, I was practically running on the water...
Lu Yuan was surprised and pleased.
His test was actually imitating the game of ’skipping a stone’.
Both relied on rapidly moving the surface water. This action utilized the pressure difference between the fast-flowing surface water and the stationary water beneath it to generate an upward thrust, thereby enabling continuous movement across the water’s surface.
But humans are not flat stones, and accomplishing this is much more challenging.
Besides having enough explosive power to provide initial speed, the most important thing was control over himself.
His 16-point agility allowed Lu Yuan to control himself to an unprecedented degree.
The effect of reducing air resistance has also become much stronger. Although my strength hasn’t changed, my speed has increased quite a bit...
The feeling was particularly evident when he was sprinting.
As the air resistance was reduced, running felt incredibly "smooth".
My hand speed has increased, improving the frequency of my punches...
As Lu Yuan thought, he pulled out an egg from his backpack, imitating a scene from a movie.
He lightly held the egg between two fingers, twirling it, then slowly peeled off the shell.
The thin layer of membrane inside the eggshell was soon exposed.
Under direct sunlight, one could faintly see the orange yolk inside.
Yes, it was a raw egg.
Before his agility increased, with only a ton of Fist Strength, there was no way Lu Yuan could do this.
Even hard-boiled eggs could be accidentally crushed if not careful.
"Come here, it’s fun!"
At that moment, a group of young men and women in swimsuits, looking like college students, approached the riverbank.
"There’s a support structure under the water here; you can run all the way to the center of the river!" one of them exclaimed. Read full story at NovєlFіre.net
"Believe me, I just saw this guy running on the water. There must be a glass bridge or something under the water here!" another said, pointing at Lu Yuan from afar as they spoke loudly to their companions.
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. He casually placed the peeled raw egg he was holding on the pebble beach, picked up his clothes, put them on quickly, and then swiftly walked away from the area.
I should check out the west side of the city, he thought.
Lu Yuan jumped off a farm-use electric tricycle and tried to hand the driver some money.
The middle-aged man, sitting confidently in the driver’s seat of the tricycle, waved his hands dismissively, speaking Mandarin with a heavy accent, "No worries! No worries!"
The man turned the handle, kicked up a cloud of dust, and coolly left.
Lu Yuan watched as the man drove off.
He had been walking along the road when he encountered this man on the tricycle. The man asked him where he was going and kindly insisted on giving him a ride.
