"Life goes on, and the theft of electricity continues."
"Su, don't worry, we won't be discovered."
"Su, trust in our technology."
"The loss is America's wealth, and we are contributing to world peace."
Regarding the issue of whether they had been targeted by American authorities, Su默 asked Pose four times and only stopped worrying after receiving a definite answer.
"Can we proceed with the body modification?" This was Su默's greatest concern. Body modification could eliminate the mental imprint left by the old monk from Emei Mountain. Su默 didn't want an old monk to suddenly appear in the room when he was sharing a bed with his future wife, saying things like, "Sir, you have a connection with my Buddha."
"Sorry, Su, the energy is only 2% replenished. But don't worry, in at most two months, after two more trips to America to recharge the spaceship, we will have enough energy to start the spaceship and the body modification equipment."
Pose explained clearly that two more trips to America, causing two more century-long blackouts, would replenish the spaceship's energy to 6%, enough to start the operation.
Just as Su默 was about to speak, Pose added, "Su, practice our Capricornian mixed martial arts well. The strength you build yourself is more enduring than that from machine modifications!"
"Machines are just auxiliary; we Capricornians are exceptionally strong!"
What strength! Su默 cursed in his heart. If they were so strong, why were they driven back to Earth by the natives of another dimension? If they were so strong, why was their spaceship shot down? Two Capricornian brothers, can we be a bit more serious? Forget it, one shouldn't have high expectations of two aliens. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Let's take it step by step.
"Continue morning exercises tomorrow!"
Su默 said, returning to the bedroom. The two teleportations had consumed a lot of energy, and his body was particularly tired. He needed to rest well.
In the living room, Pose and Zeus were clinking disposable cups, as if celebrating.
"For the glory of Capricorn."
"To return to the other dimension."
"For dear Su."
...
The Capricornian mixed martial arts were simply not designed for Earthlings. Su默 leaned on a park bench, panting heavily. He was still practicing the first move of the basic section, and after just fifteen minutes, he was completely exhausted. That move would probably be too much even for the most professional split-leg actress.
Similarly, it was a split-leg move, but why was the Capricornian version so tiring? Su默 found the most standard answer: Capricorn is an alien planet.
Pose and Zeus sat on either side of Su默. Ordinary people couldn't see the two Capricornians, similar to the old monk from Emei Mountain, whom ordinary people couldn't see either.
Su默's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly turned his head. It was that woman, the one who had let her dog attack him last time, walking towards him!
Last time, Pose and Zeus had roasted the woman's mad dog. Su默 had thought the matter was over, and he still thought so now.
"She, she's probably just passing by..." Su默 nodded to himself, regretting the loss of that big dog. The smell of the roasted dog was simply...
"You! It's you!" A woman's voice suddenly rang out.
Su默 turned his head, looking at the woman with a puzzled expression, "What?"
"Don't play dumb!" The woman glared at Su默 coldly and sat down next to him. Su默 was startled; would this woman sit on Pose?
As the woman sat down, Pose moved like a ripple, moving away. Su默 sighed again; Capricornians were indeed extraordinary. Such a movement was very cool.
The woman sat next to Su默, took out her phone, and started taking pictures of him, saying, "You killed my Momo. I'm going to take your picture, print it out, and use it to guard Momo's grave!"
Su默's face turned cold. This woman's hobby was truly bizarre. Last time, the big dog had gone mad and tried to bite him. If not for Pose and Zeus, he would probably still be in the hospital!
Mad dog, mad woman!
The woman was beautiful, but Su默 had little good feeling towards her. Not only did she keep a big dog in the city, but she also wanted to print his picture to guard the dog's grave!
How could a man tolerate this?
Is this woman's brain short-circuited? Just because she's beautiful, she can do whatever she wants? Beautiful women can keep big dogs? Hmph! Not even as pretty as his sister!
"Hmph! You killed my Momo! I don't want your money! I just want your picture to guard Momo's grave!" The woman held her phone and took more pictures of Su默.
There's no saving her, this woman is beyond help. Su默 shook his head. The woman got up, coldly huffed a few times, and walked away. Her back was nice, and her figure was indeed excellent, but she was a bit crazy.
Su默 certainly wouldn't let his picture be used to guard a big dog's grave. He gave Pose a look, and Pose smiled. A 'crack' sound came from the front, and the woman's phone fell apart!
"Ahh!" The woman was startled, threw away the broken phone, and turned around, hands on her hips, glaring at Su默, "You... you... I'll remember you!"
The woman then stormed off.
Su默 didn't look at the woman; he looked at Pose. Pose's move was quite impressive. He didn't move, yet the woman's phone shattered.
Pose sat back down. He could read minds and knew what Su默 was thinking. He chuckled, "Su, practice our Capricornian martial arts well. Once you complete the intermediate section, you'll have this ability."
Su默 rolled his eyes. He couldn't even complete the first move of the basic section. The basic section alone had thirty-six moves, and he didn't know when he would finish them, let alone the intermediate section.
"Life goes on, and exercise continues. Su, keep up the morning exercises!" Pose encouraged Su默.
"Alright! Keep up the morning exercises!"
Su默 took a deep breath and started the first move of the Capricornian martial arts, which was similar to a split-leg move.
Faintly, Su默 felt something in his body pulsating, like muscles or blood. In any case, this pulsation was very strange.
For a moment, he seemed to see his cells pulsating at an incredibly peculiar frequency! Su默 thought it was because he was too tired and his eyes were playing tricks on him.
After all, how could human eyes see cells? That would require a microscope.
Su默 continued his morning exercises, while the two Capricornians comfortably leaned on the bench, enjoying the rising sun. Occasionally, bird calls could be heard from the woods.
Pose clearly heard the bird calls and murmured with his eyes closed, "The sound of the birds reminds me of the wind-winged birds on the Panso Plain. The taste, the texture... tsk tsk..."
