"Rocky, are you going back so early today?"
Rocky didn't look up when he heard the voice, but casually threw away his muddy hat and shovel. He waved his hand without looking back.
"No! Let's stop here if we are tired today! Anyway, there is only a little left, I will leave it to you!"
Rocky looked back at Kurapika and Pyro.
The two nodded at Rocky. "Leave the rest to us! Go back and have a good rest!" Pyro patted his chest and said.
Kurapika on the side also smiled at Rocky.
More than a month passed unknowingly.
Since Rocky took the chief to see the terrain, the chief immediately confirmed Rocky's idea. The excavation of the escape passage began, and the excavation process, of course, needed to be done by Nen.
After all, using Nen to excavate is much faster.
And Rocky naturally participated, and because of his terrifying Nen talent, Rocky was even more powerful than those adult tribe members! On the first day, Rocky felt exhausted after digging about 20 meters by himself.
The digging process was equivalent to training, training the application skills of Nen. But just 20 meters made Rocky feel that his Nen was consumed too quickly.
However, after resting, he increased his progress to 80 meters on the second day.
By the time he reached 100 meters, the other Nen users of the Kuruta tribe were in awe. They all understood why the chief believed Rocky's premonition wasn't just a dream, but a prophecy for the entire Kuruta tribe.
Such terrifying talent and speed of progress were inhuman!
For such a genius premonition, it was probably not as simple as a dream.
In the days that followed, Rocky's progress was even more exaggerated. Every day seemed to bring earth-shaking changes. And this was because Rocky didn't spend all his time practicing.
Because of Rocky's abnormality, the time to complete the tunnel was half as fast as expected.
The 800-meter-long tunnel was finally completed. However, the tunnel wasn't finished after it was dug. It needed to be reinforced, or else it would collapse with an earthquake or heavy rain.
The rest of the time was spent reinforcing the tunnel every day. This work wasn't only done by Nen users. So, Pyro, Kurapika, and others also joined in.
During this month, Rocky continued to practice and made rapid progress. Originally, Rocky thought he couldn't reach the level of the brigade members in such a short time, but now it seemed like there was real hope.
After all, although the results of Rocky's various application skills weren't perfect, they had all been mastered one by one. The amount of Nen energy had also increased more than tenfold. Now Rocky estimated that he was probably at the same level as the chief.
The practice of each Nen system had also been continuously enhanced. Although the effect was already amazing, Rocky felt that he was far from reaching his limit.
Since he had top talent, he must be like Ging—any attack-related ability could be imitated as long as it was hit once!
Ging was able to do this not only because of his strong talent but also due to his solid foundation. Without a solid foundation, how could he imitate other people's moves?
During this period, Rocky was most worried about why Kurapika didn't seem to move at all. He hadn't even thought about leaving the village.
Could it be that the butterfly effect he instigated affected Kurapika, making him not want to leave the village?
If so, it would be even more troublesome. He didn't know when the Phantom Troupe would come knocking, but it could happen at any time.
And now it was the end of December.
Since the Phantom Troupe hadn't arrived yet, it meant that the other party was likely to take action in January. According to the estimated time, it would either be in December or January—either the beginning of the year or the end.
Now, December seemed unlikely, so it must be January.
Next month was when the disaster of the Kuruta tribe would come.
This was good—Rocky could make at least one more modification.
At 8 o'clock tonight, the modification permission would be available again.
And he could also check if there were any new information columns. If there were, what would they be?
So Rocky left early today. Usually, he would go back with everyone.
When Rocky returned home, even the chief hadn't returned yet. So, Rocky went to wash up alone, and lay on the bed while practicing the "Entanglement," waiting for the countdown of the modification permission to end.

[Host: Rocky]
[Race: Human, Kuruta]
[Nen Talent: Top]
[Physical Potential: Intermediate]
[Bloodline Ability: Low-level Scarlet Eyes]
[Physical Condition: Good]

Hmm!
Rocky frowned. There's an extra information column?
Isn't there an extra information column every time the re-evaluation is done?
It seems that his guess was wrong!
'No! That's not right… Although there's no extra information column, the information column for the bloodline ability seems to be more detailed!'
Low-level Scarlet Eyes!
The information bar not only increased, but it also became more detailed!
If that's the case, it seems the more detailed modifications I thought of before may bring greater improvement.
However, what will happen if the additional physical condition information bar is modified?
'Good! What if it is modified to excellent?'
[Physical Condition: Excellent]
[Prompt: The status belongs to the variable information bar, and this modification can be maintained for one day.]
[Confirm this modification, and estimate the countdown for the next modification permission acquisition: 1 (day): 0 (hour): 0 (minute): 0 (second)]
Hmm?
Rocky was stunned for a moment. This... The modification lasts for one day, and the interval is also one day!
If this is the case… That means I can always maintain my state in an excellent condition!
Do I not even need to sleep?
When the state is always maintained in excellent condition, Rocky couldn't believe how amazing his training speed would be.
However, if you want to maintain this state, you naturally can't modify other things.
But it doesn't matter if it's for one day. I can experience it first and then study what to modify!
[Confirm modification]
[Countdown to obtain modification permissions: 0 (days): 23 (hours): 59 (minutes): 59 (seconds)]
The countdown began, and Rocky suddenly felt that the fatigue accumulated during the day seemed to have been swept away. Even the amount of Nen energy seemed to have increased a lot.
Is this the feeling of being in full state!
The sleepiness was also swept away.
Rocky turned over and wanted to see how effective this state of cultivation would be.
"Quick! Take him to the house quickly, and call someone to come and check his injuries. First, use a bandage to stop the bleeding!"
When Rocky was excited, he suddenly heard a voice outside.
He opened the door to check and found that the chief and several others, including Kurapika, were carrying Pyro into the house and putting him on the bed in another room.
And there was blood on the ground...
What's going on?
