Chapter 94 Returning to the Human World, as if from another life
Ma Cong is too fast.
After achieving the Jade Bone Golden Body, his blood and energy became terrifyingly abundant, and he could run without feeling tired.
He was like a perpetual motion machine; with each step he took, mountains and rivers seemed to recede at breakneck speed.
In just one day and one night, he traveled over a thousand kilometers and emerged from that vast primeval jungle.
When he saw the cars speeding by on the highway in the distance, and the small town by the roadside, Ma Cong felt as if he were in another world.
Time passes unnoticed in the mountains; the passing of winter leaves one unaware of the years.
Although he knew that his seclusion would only last a few months at most, the ascetic practice of being isolated from the world caused some subtle changes in his mindset.
He felt as if he had become somewhat alienated from this noisy modern society.
Ma Cong slowed his pace and walked into the small town by the roadside.
The town is small, with only one main street.
The street was bustling with people, vendors hawking their wares, and cars honking—a cacophony of sounds that made it rather noisy.
These sounds, which are perfectly normal to the average person, were amplified countless times when they reached Ma Cong's ears.
He could clearly distinguish the heartbeat of each person, the breathing of each person, and even hear the crisp sound of the spatula colliding with the iron wok as the chef stirs the food in a small restaurant dozens of meters away.
There's so much information!
Ma Cong's brows furrowed slightly.
It seems he needs some time to readjust to this world.
He needs to learn how to control his overly powerful senses and actively filter out useless information.
Otherwise, just walking on the street would be torture for him.
He found a corner, closed his eyes, and tried to gather his mind back into his body.
It took him a while to feel a little better.
The noise in my ears subsided considerably, and the world finally returned to normal.
"call……"
Ma Cong breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the mastery of power is not only in battle, but also in every aspect of daily life.
He still has a lot to learn.
Having solved the problem of perception, another very real problem lay before him.
He ran out of money.
Before he went into seclusion, he had already spent all the cash he had with him.
The phone also shut down automatically because it had been out of power for a long time.
In this day and age, it's practically impossible to get by without money and a mobile phone.
"I need to find a way to make some money first, then buy a cell phone and find out what's going on outside."
Ma Cong was making plans in his mind.
With his current abilities, making money is incredibly easy for him.
Putting everything else aside, just finding a few rare medicinal herbs in the mountains and selling them would be enough to ensure he has no worries about food and clothing.
However, he no longer wants to go back to the mountains.
He looked around and his gaze fell on a construction site on the edge of town.
At the construction site, several workers were laboriously carrying cement and bricks in handcarts.
Ma Cong's heart stirred, and he walked over.
"Master, do you need any temporary workers here? I can do heavy physical labor," Ma Cong asked as he approached a middle-aged man who looked like a foreman.
The foreman sized Ma Cong up and down.
Although Ma Cong was wearing a somewhat worn-out tracksuit, he had a well-proportioned figure and looked very energetic, not like someone who was lazy and good-for-nothing.
"Young man, judging by your build, you don't look like someone who does manual labor." The foreman handed him a cigarette.
"It's okay, I'm strong." Ma Cong waved his hand, refusing the cigarette.
"Alright, we have a few truckloads of cement to unload today, and we're a bit short-handed." The foreman thought for a moment and said, "Three hundred yuan a day, lunch included, are you in?"
"Let's do it." Ma Cong nodded.
For him, the amount of money didn't matter; he just wanted to better feel his connection with the world through this most primitive form of physical labor.
Soon, a truck loaded with cement stopped at the entrance of the construction site.
The foreman pointed to the truck and said to Ma Cong, "Young man, see this? Move all this cement to the warehouse over there. Each bag weighs 100 jin (50 kg). Be careful not to hurt your back."
"understood."
Ma Cong responded and walked to the truck.
The other workers worked in pairs, lifting one bag at a time with a heavy thud.
Ma Cong simply bent down, grabbed a bag of cement in each hand, and lifted it up easily.
The weight of two hundred pounds was as easy for him as carrying two pillows.
With steady steps, he carried the two bags of cement to the warehouse dozens of meters away in one go, then turned around and walked back.
Throughout the entire process, she didn't blush or get out of breath.
The workers who were working nearby were all dumbfounded.
"Holy crap! Is this kid... some kind of animal?"
"That's incredibly strong!"
The foreman's eyes practically popped out of their sockets.
He was initially worried that Ma Cong, being a delicate and pampered young man, wouldn't be able to do the job.
Unexpectedly, a formidable person has arrived!
What happened next left everyone speechless.
Ma Cong seemed to think that carrying two packages at a time was still too slow.
He simply jumped onto the truck and, like a human pyramid, stacked five bags of cement on his shoulders in one go!
A full 500 jin!
Then, carrying 500 pounds of cement, he steadily jumped off the truck and strode briskly towards the warehouse.
The entire construction site fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared in disbelief at the figure that seemed to have descended from heaven.
Is this...is this even human?
This is practically a human crane!
