...

As expected!

Enhanced speed also pulled along an increase in overall body strength.

It's simple logic, the shell of a high-speed train can't possibly be made out of wooden boards.

Chu Ge was pleased, yet he still wasn't clear about where his current physical fitness ranked.

"If only there was a training facility," he murmured, looking around.

No sooner had he spoken than a line of text popped up on the screen before him:

Would you like to spend 100 Survival Points to open the Primary Training Hall?

...

Chu Ge didn't hesitate and immediately chose to agree.

100 Survival Points wouldn't exchange for any decent survival skills, but a training hall sounded like it could help with training.

In the real world, it would be impossible for him to frequently train in his lion's body.

There was a month left before the next Survival Competition, and he had to make good use of this month.

At that moment, a portal of light appeared on the wall behind the screen.

Without delay, Chu Ge jumped off the couch and entered the portal.

The next second, he arrived in a place as large as a basketball gymnasium, with a circular track in front; he estimated that each of the two straight sections was about fifty meters long. Along the edge of the track, various training equipment was present: a sandpit, a small grove, and even a steep cliff on the opposite side.

The outermost layer was a glass wall covering the entire Primary Training Hall, and beyond the glass wall was white light emitting a strong science fiction vibe.

Chu Ge walked to the starting line of the track, ready to test his speed.

At that moment, a four-wheeled robot appeared beside him. It looked simple; a rectangular silver metal box with a screen on the front, which was currently displaying a stopwatch interface.

"Tsk tsk, it's pretty high-tech. Whatever I want, the Survival Arena can provide it?" he exclaimed, slightly fearful at the same time.

Who was controlling the Survival Arena from behind the scenes?

A god?

Or the creator?

Could that being peer into everyone's heart?

He took a deep breath and tried not to think too much.

Right now, he couldn't resist the Survival Arena; the only thing he could do was to strive to become stronger, to ensure he kept on surviving.

He bent his forelimbs, getting into the starting position for a sprint.

Even though he was currently a young lion, he felt his limbs swell with power, as if he could leap a long distance with a single push, and the fifty meters ahead no longer seemed far away.

Fifty meters for a young lion, akin to three or four hundred meters to an adult human.

He was like a tense kitten, almost changing color.

"Three."

"Two."

Chu Ge whispered to himself. When he counted down to one, he forcefully pushed off with his hind legs, shooting forward like an arrow.

At that moment, he felt as if an ant was sprinting.

Moving swiftly and lightly!

Different though, was the feeling of power filling his limbs.

His feet felt as if they were skimming off the ground!

Exhilarating!

Soon, he had sprinted past the finish line of the straightaway.

He stopped, turned around, and started to catch his breath.

Such a sprint was still somewhat difficult even for an enhanced version of a young lion.

The robot charged forward, its screen displaying a string of data:

Top Speed: 7.5m/s

Acceleration Time: 0.89s

...

It could run a maximum of seven and a half meters in a second.

The top speed hadn't yet reached the peak speed of an adult cheetah, and it wasn't even as fast as some humans.

Chu Ge wasn't dissatisfied, after all, he was still young and his speed would probably increase gradually.

He hoped that in this month, he could enhance his speed to that of a cheetah.

"So it seems that 100 speed represents the running speed of a normal man, excluding most sub-healthy otakus..."

Chu Ge muttered to himself. He was somewhat of a homebody himself, and he estimated that his speed probably wasn't even as good as that of his current young lion state.

He suddenly thought of Speed Enhancement[Lv5].

Increase 6000 points in speed!

What kind of speed is sixty times faster than a human?

This is the speed of an airplane!

Chu Ge's emotions surged, and he swore in his heart that he must obtain Speed Enhancement[Lv5].

However, 14900 Survival Points weren't so easy to earn.

Afterward, he returned to his Survival House and continued to browse the light screen.

The light screen became like a web page, with many lists appearing. As long as he wanted to look at one, the page would automatically switch.

A whole hour went by.

Chu Ge suddenly remembered the real world.

Damn!

I haven't disappeared overnight, have I?

With this thought, Chu Ge immediately changed back to human form, then exited the Survival Arena.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself behind a large tree in the neighborhood, unnoticed by anyone.

Looking at the sun, he guessed it was only around seven or eight in the morning.

He looked down at himself, his clothes were intact, exactly the same as when he had entered the Survival Arena the day before.

He immediately ran home.

A few minutes later.

He knocked on the door of his house, and a series of hurried footsteps came. Right after, the door opened, and his mother Han Yujuan peeked out, her face anxious, with tears at the corners of her eyes.

Upon seeing it was Chu Ge, she was instantly overjoyed and quickly pulled him into the house.

"You little rascal! Where have you been! Do you know we were worried sick! Your sister is worried about you too!"

Han Yujuan said with a cry in her voice. After closing the door, Chu Ge saw his father, Chu Feiqiang, in the living room.

He was sitting on the couch, his face dark as if he were a volcano about to erupt.

Chu Ge felt ashamed and pretended to be aggrieved, "I just felt too suffocated yesterday afternoon, so I went to the park nearby for a walk and accidentally fell asleep in the woods, just woke up not long ago."

Hearing this, Han Yujuan grew even more worried and reached out to touch his forehead, trying to feel his temperature.

Chu Feiqiang scoffed coldly, "Oh? Which park? Tell me, we might have searched there last night."

Chu Ge felt the pressure and sighed internally, can't I get a way out?

"Just the nearby Qingmei Park."

"We searched there last night and didn't find you!"

"I was in the bushes, right behind that pavilion."

"Really?"

"Of course, having been out in the cold wind all night, my high fever has gone down too."

After experiencing the Survival Trial, Chu Ge became much more composed, bold even as he spun his lies.

Although Chu Feiqiang didn't believe it, he didn't pursue it further.

He got up, took out his phone, and walked towards the balcony, leaving a sentence behind: "I'll let the officers know not to prepare the case files."

Chu Ge was embarrassed when he heard this.

He hadn't expected his parents had even called the police.

At that moment, what he felt the most was warmth.

Since going to university in his previous life, apart from holidays, he seldom returned to this home.

Seeing his parents now, his eyes inexplicably began to sting.

Chu Feiqiang cursed as he headed out, closing the door loudly, clearly still angry.

But Chu Ge was moved to laughter.

His father was a manager in a factory, with a salary that was not high, but enough for the family.

His mother ran a laundry shop with just decent income.

Looking at this home, Chu Ge clenched his fists, thinking to himself, "I not only have to survive, but also must work hard to provide a good life for them!"
