"Just teasing you, your boss can fly now."

Liu Zheng said as he walked out of the clinic.

Since there was nothing else to do, Doctor Nile and the others followed him out to watch the fun.

"Watch closely, let me show you what it means to ascend to the heavens in broad daylight!"

He took a deep breath, then pushed hard, and his body instantly left the ground.

Next, he gently exhaled, and an invisible force lifted him up, slowly ascending.

"Don't fly too high, there might be a problem above 5000 meters."

Doctor Nile reminded him.

Liu Zheng nodded while exhaling, indicating he understood.

Actually, Doctor Nile didn't need to remind him; forget about 5000 meters, he might not even reach 500 meters.

Liu Zheng tried to increase the flow of his breath, and sure enough, the speed of ascension increased accordingly.

But a new problem arose—he didn't know how to move in directions other than up or down.

"Try moving like a fish swimming in water?"

Doctor Nile suggested.

Liu Zheng followed the advice, and it indeed worked.

However, although there was an effect, it was only slight.

He couldn't soar like a bird; his swimming speed was slower than walking on the ground.

If he used this move in a fight, he'd just be a sitting duck.

When he ran out of breath, Liu Zheng plummeted downward quickly.

And this falling speed was much faster than normal, as if Mother Earth was punishing this child who wanted to escape her control.

Fortunately, it wasn't fast enough to prevent him from catching his breath in time.

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and landed safely on the ground.

"Purely an auxiliary skill."

After practicing once, he concluded about the skill 'Peng Hu'.

Relying on 'Peng Hu' to fight enemies who can fly was no different from seeking death.

And even for enemies who can't fly, they likely have plenty of long-range attack options.

What? You say using 'Peng Hu' against enemies who can't fly or use long-range attacks would be perfect?

For such weaklings, you don't even need 'Peng Hu'—just take them down with one hit.

"Doctor, how high did I just fly?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"About 500 meters or so."

Doctor Nile replied.

"That sounds about right."

He nodded.

The higher he flew, the greater the flow of breath he needed to maintain lift; 500 meters was his limit for hovering.

To gain more height, he'd have to either lose weight, increase lung capacity, or simply get a portable oxygen supply device.

But 500 meters is not low; it's useful for avoiding dangerous grounds or traps.

"Did you learn this just now from that book?"

Doctor Nile asked curiously.

"Yes, I did."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"You managed to learn a skill just by reading it once, your wisdom is truly..."

Doctor Nile was at a loss for words.

"You misunderstood; I just used a special method to forcibly learn a skill from the book."

He explained.

As long as he didn't reveal the existence of the system, the functions of the system itself weren't a secret.

"That's the case. I thought you didn't seem like someone with godly talents."

Doctor Nile realized.

Among the people he had seen, Liu Zheng was indeed one of the best.

However, Liu Zheng's excellence lay not in intelligence and comprehension, but in character and temperament.

"Doctor, your words are a bit hurtful, you know."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"Hehe."

Doctor Nile had no intention of apologizing.

"By the way, where are the Jiwei Group people?"

He remembered to ask.

"Boss, they went to Jidao Public Bath to soak."

Niu Daji replied.

"Oh. Then go to the 'Everything Shop' and buy some restaurant supplies—low, medium, high-grade, buy a batch and send them over."

Liu Zheng instructed.

"Got it. Boss, I still have plenty of money, let me spend it before you give me more; it's not safe to carry so much with me."

Niu Daji quickly said upon seeing him about to take out money.

"Alright, that's fine. If you run short, just tell the shop to put it on President Yuan's tab."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay then, boss, should I go now?"

"Go ahead."

He waved a tentacle and then called Guo Koutangzi.

"Hello, where are you?"

"Jidao Public Bath."

The sound of splashing water came from Guo Koutangzi's side.

"Then enjoy your bath, I had Niu Daji go buy the restaurant supplies; he'll send them to you later."

Liu Zheng said.

"Do you know what I need? Buying without purpose is a waste of money."

Guo Koutangzi said disdainfully.

"If it's not needed, just store it as a backup. At worst, give it to peers to foster connections."

He said nonchalantly.

"It's not necessary. In this line of work, hiding from the cops is normal; you don't need to apologize for it. Just next time, can you pick a better hiding place? If clients find out we hid in a sewer, how will my restaurant keep its reputation?"

Guo Koutangzi couldn't help but complain a bit.

It was only due to Liu Zheng's insistence and encouragement from the rest of the Jiwei Group that she chose the sewer; otherwise, she'd rather face interrogation from the Criminal Investigation Bureau than hide in a sewer.

"Hello, hello, bad signal, enjoy your wash—I'll hang up now."

Liu Zheng quickly found an excuse to hang up.

Changing the hiding spot was impossible, it was never going to happen.

Despite the myriad issues with the sewer, two points made it the undeniable choice for a hiding spot.
