Chapter 6, Leaving the Underground City
Daisy lay on the bed, beginning to contemplate the path ahead
With a dull thud, one-third of the stone door shattered, and Daisy, disregarding the potential harm from the dust to her body, rushed out swiftly
Women generally have a weaker sense of direction, but this shortcoming has been compensated for in modern times. Although her sensitivity is not as exaggerated as that of Daredevil, it is already sufficient in this corridor that is 3 meters wide and 2 meters high
Searching, searching, finally finding the frequency of the Stone Gate, she adjusts herself to achieve resonance
The area of vibration is quite large, encompassing an entire stone gate. Daisy cannot guarantee whether the collapse of this gate will trigger a chain reaction. If the other five stone gates are affected and the temple collapses, she can prepare for the next crossing.
After checking the marks on the ground, she quickly ran back the way she came
In order to reduce the burden and increase speed, she discarded all unnecessary supplies
In theory, all events in the Olympic Games can be performed by ordinary people, but in reality, how many can actually achieve this? Without training, very few individuals can accomplish it
Daisy carefully sensed the unusual feeling within her body, which was her vibration ability. It was not a form of energy, nor did it reside in any of the three dantians. It was akin to a normal body that could run, jump, and walk, but now it had an additional mode; she could make objects vibrate
The sound of "crack" echoed as she hurriedly stopped her actions
The ability will provide a possibility, but the extent to which it can be realized depends on oneself
The stone skin was blown away, as if it had been reborn. The clothes were still intact on the body, and nothing particularly delightful had occurred.
Daisy did not care whether the polluted air here would cause her to develop pneumoconiosis; she checked her entire body, confirming that all her features were intact, her hands and feet were present, and the subtle concern about the peculiar defects she had feared did not manifest in herself
Try again! She reached out to turn on the vibration once more
At the same time, her legs have grown a little longer... Previously, Daisy was 1.70 meters tall, and now she has become about 1.72 or 1.73 meters.
After studying the cracks on the stone door for a while, I found the area with the most severe damage and initiated the third vibration
This is not her subjective ability to withdraw, but rather some form of subconscious influence at play
Her bright eyes carried a hint of stubbornness, her nose was high and straight, and her skin had become a touch more delicate. It is well known that people of European and American descent typically have less than ideal skin, yet it seems that her lineage has nudged her a step closer to the characteristics of Eastern individuals.
Her physique remains slender, unchanged from before. However, a brand new vitality is reflected from her cells, significantly enhancing her speed, reflexes, and endurance
Vibrational abilities are the essence of one's being
Moreover, she possesses greater endurance and explosiveness than athletes
Daisy struggled to recall the little physics knowledge she possessed; she remembered that every object has its own vibration frequency, and as long as this frequency is found, the stone door could be destroyed
The journey back was devoid of the illumination provided by the obelisk, leaving it shrouded in complete darkness. However, her senses were heightened, allowing her to faintly discern some paths in the darkness. The enhancement of her hearing and sense of direction ensured that she could maintain a straight line while running
The Terrigen Crystal Mist brought about a tremendous transformation in her, rejuvenating her entire body from cells to internal organs, blood, lymph, and bones.
Returning to the bedroom, I took out my notebook and searched through local information, finding no negative news related to myself. There was only a communication from the San Juan Police Department internally seeking assistance in locating my estranged parents
Supernatural abilities also require research, development, and training to become a unique skill
The watchtower remained in a state of disarray. She did not linger for long, quickly tidying up her backpack, changing into summer clothes to appear less out of place, and slowly walked out.
Daisy was terrified that at any moment she would hear the sound of the underground city collapsing, or the sea water flooding in, or the self-destruct mechanism activating... It was not merely her own imagination; such scenarios had appeared too frequently in movies. She did not dare to stop for a moment. Relying on her ample stamina and resilient character, she had covered a distance that would normally take three days in just one day, retracing her steps back to the watchtower.
Returning to the hotel, she first took a refreshing hot shower, put on a bathrobe, and styled her hair up. Daisy looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Moreover, as she continues to run, transitioning from unfamiliarity to proficiency, her precise control over her abilities is gradually strengthening
Physical enhancement can only be considered a supplementary aspect; the true key lies in the extraordinary abilities. Daisy took a moment to deeply experience her own powers. The bloodline activation ritual was roughly as she had anticipated; the stone door did not open automatically. Perhaps there is a switch located somewhere outside, but now she was alone and could only open a passage from within.
Indeed, everything in the movies is deceptive... She sat on the ground, panting and grumbling to herself.
Reality is not a game; it will not automatically generate an icon simply because one has acquired superpowers, nor can abilities be activated by pressing a certain key
The profession of hacking was eliminated at the first opportunity, and the original timeline's Daisy did not achieve much. The golden age of hackers has already passed, and relying on solitary efforts to be a network rogue is purely a path to self-destruction. Moreover, the most important aspects for a hacker, besides technical skills, are also the mindset; she is not the predecessor and does not possess this mindset. Imitating others without understanding will undoubtedly lead to a poor outcome.
After just two jolts, she felt a soreness throughout her body. This ability has a somewhat double-edged sword quality, injuring both the enemy and oneself. However, her resilient character prevailed, suppressing discomfort and striving to adjust the frequency
The method of exertion and the techniques of force application are still immature, yet the physical fitness is already comparable to those warriors who have undergone rigorous training; this process has only taken ten minutes.
Relaxed and comfortable, as if shedding dozens of pounds of burden, I clenched my fist to experience the strength I possess now. Not to mention that it is stronger than my previous female body, it is even more powerful than my male body in my past life
On her way back, she studied while running, with the vibration capability added to the soles of her feet, allowing her to bounce and jump as she ran. The appearance was somewhat comical, but her speed had indeed increased significantly
Hold on, a little slower. Narrow the scope, be gentler. She continuously encourages herself
Perhaps this flaw is hidden quite deeply, she consoled herself
She did not know if she could shake open the stone door that was half a meter thick. If her strength was too weak, she would not be able to get out; if her strength was too great, Daisy feared that she might cause the entire underground city to collapse
The first attempt at "buzz" failed; the stone door did not budge at all, and her vibrations were retracted before they could even reach the stone door.
Following the markings, she found the direction she had come from and reached out to touch the massive stone before her
With a light and brisk stride, running powerfully as if filled with strength, Daisy believes that even without professional running training, her current speed is on par with that of professional athletes
This time, she limited the vibration area to a very small size. Although the requirements for precision have increased, the burden of recoil on the body has also been somewhat reduced
