Chapter 216: 216
Feng Bujue activated body enhancement spell at the start of his jump . With a short running start, he leaped into the air and deactivated the skill while still flying . Of course, he activated the skill not because he wanted to look better in pose but to achieve a greater jump . In the air, he turned his head and opened his arms wide like he was trying to hug the pool of clouds . At that moment, all that was left in his ears was the howling of wind, and his eyes were shot with excitement and anticipation .
To get this feeling of jumping through the air, other than actually jumping off a building, one would normally have three means to replicate it: spring board jumping, bungee jumping, and sky diving . In any case, Feng Bujue did not know how to swim, and he had not gotten a chance to attempt the other two, but now, he finally got to experience the sense of free falling in an online virtual game . Even though this was just a simulation, the feeling of falling was no different from the one experienced in real life . Normally speaking, the jumper, even if they did not scream from fear, would curl up instinctively in fear . However, Feng Bujue was a person without fear . So, when he was falling, he could relax completely and enjoy the purest sense of falling . He could even keep himself from blinking and stare right ahead . He thought to himself, Even if I die, I have to see what is at the bottom .
Several seconds later, Feng Bujue entered the thick clouds . It was also at that moment that he understood he had not picked the wrong path; this was the correct way . The white clouds were like a buffer . They were softer than water but had a great buffering effect . When his body crashed through the clouds, it did not feel like he had hit something concrete . When Feng Bujue phased through the clouds, it was similar to walking out into a hot street from a cold room . His body was enveloped by a thin layer of air, and then the falling speed gradually slowed down . When he landed on the ground, Feng Bujue fell like a light feather . There was no impact, and his Life Points did not even drop .
There was another world at the bottom of the cliff . The clouds above him appeared to form a second layer of the sky . Sunlight filtered through the clouds, giving the place a misty look . The air there was especially wet, and around him was a sparse forest . Feng Bujue quickly looked around before titling his head up . In that posture, he waited for Passing Rain to fall so that he could pinpoint where the girl would land . In the next few seconds, Feng Bujue tried to give the area's gravitational pull a test; the result was normal . He jumped where he stood, and the pressure he felt when landing was no different from normal . Therefore, he concluded, the layer of clouds was the reason he had survived . Perhaps when a person's body passed through the clouds, there would be a speed lowering debuff, and it would disappear when one landed on the ground .
Passing Rain did not make Feng Bujue wait for long . She jumped two minutes later . Feng Bujue saw the figure flying through the air, gauged the landing spot, and moved toward it . Perhaps he was lucky, but where Passing Rain fell was not far from Feng Bujue . So, the latter soon reached her, and he immediately asked, "How was it? Told you we need to do a leap of faith . "
"When you jumped, that Miss Lu thought you'd gone mad," Passing Rain replied . "When I said I was going to jump, she thought I was committing suicide out of love . "
"Hahaha…" Feng Bujue guffawed . "That can't be helped . We can't explain stuff like game menu and status bar to the NPCs, right?"
"But one does need tremendous courage to jump down like that," Passing Rain commented . "With just speculation and logical thinking, you dared to take such a risky move . I have to say you are…"
"Incredibly sarcastic? Fine, I know that," Feng Bujue said . He turned to the valley . "Come on, let's go . "
"We aren't going to wait for the NPC?" Passing Rain asked .
"Do you think she'll follow us?" Feng Bujue asked . "Imagine it was you, and you ran into two strangers for the first time in real life . They were talking about these hard to understand concepts and proceed to jump off a building . Would you treat your life as a joke and follow them?"
Feng Bujue's analysis was not wrong . When Lu Qingning saw the two jump into the abyss, her mind went blank . She started to suspect whether she had made the two up in her mind . Was this some kind of illusion that was played on her?
It was impossible to think that Lu Qingning would jump down to follow them, unless she could see the situation at the bottom clearly or could hear the two's conversation from below . Otherwise, she would not do something that was no different from suicide . After hearing that, Passing Rain was silent for two seconds before nodding calmly . "Let's go . "
