Chapter 113 Chapter 113 – Training
For the remainder of the day, Nick focused on training and planning his future.
Strength, money, status.
Nick needed all of these things if he ever wanted to repay a little of the things he owed Horua.
The more time passed, the more Nick realized how much time he actually had to dedicate to whatever he wanted.
Horua had eaten so much of Nick's time and focus that, without him, Nick felt like there was nothing else to do.
For the first time in forever, Nick actually felt exhausted after working out.
Nick had run around the Outer City several times.
The citizens were not very surprised by a Zephyx Extractor running around. After all, there were quite a few level one Extractors in the Outer City, and they also needed to keep their fitness up.
From time to time, there were Extractors that kept jogging and running throughout the city.
Naturally, Nick sped up and slowed down constantly.
Since Nick was always putting in the same amount of effort, his speed kept changing due to his ability activating and deactivating.
And the best part was that Nick didn't even need to try to keep his ability a secret.
After all, if anyone saw him, it would deactivate on its own, keeping it a secret.
In a way, Nick was forced to keep his ability a secret since he couldn't even show it to anyone.
When Nick was exhausted from running around, he went to grab his weapons and trained with them.
The heavy weight of the weapons made it extremely difficult and strenuous to move around, but that was what Nick wanted.
Training was supposed to be exhausting.
When it was evening, Nick even bought quite expensive food.
Meat that didn't come from rats or insects.
Apparently, there were some kind of indoor farms where small but fat flightless birds, called chickens, were being held.
According to the person in the expensive-looking shop, the meat of these chickens was extremely rich in protein and almost had zero fat.
While Nick didn't exactly care about the fat content, he cared a lot about the protein.
So, Nick bought two entire cooked chickens and ate them.
After one chicken, Nick already felt like he was quite full, but he forced the second one down as well.
One had to remember that Nick managed to build quite an impressive body while living in the Dregs on his own.
If he didn't know how to build such a body, he wouldn't have had one.
'150 credits,' Nick thought. '150 credits for one meal, even though it was a lot.'
'If I were to eat normally, it would still be 75 credits. That's almost a month of tax.'
Nick had never eaten a meal this expensive.
However, the taste was absolutely amazing, and the contents of the meat were important.
When Nick was eating it, he almost felt like his body was screaming in euphoria.
Sadly, the euphoria was dampened by the black void in Nick's chest.
