Chapter 18 - Power And Hunger

Boom…Boom…Boom…

"I can't believe you idiots are supposed to be experts! It took you three whole days to open the door. I might as well have committed suicide buying this medium-heavy gravity device. Hurry up and open it!"

The booming voice of Li Feng echoed, and he slowly opened his eyes to find himself still inside the gravity room. However, he could still clearly hear Mark's explosive roar outside.

After moving his body slightly, he felt "normal," like he was in a dreamlike state. He was filled with power and…hunger!

Sizzle…sizzle…sizzle…

The door of the gravity room was opened, and as soon as Mark saw Li Feng, he pounced on him. "Fuck, you're still alive, you little bastard! You're living well, better than a virgin who even Death doesn't want!"

Li Feng's feeling of gratitude was immediately wiped out by the last sentence. This guy really…

Outside, a group of workers finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had spent three days of effort trying to open the gravity room, and now it had opened on its own. It was really strange.

"Mr. Mark, we need to take back this set of gravity equipment. As for compensation, the company will contact your lawyer. You should take your friend to the hospital for a check-up."

The supervisor speaking could be heard letting out a sigh of relief. Four times gravity was a relatively safe small gravity device, and safety was absolutely not an issue. This was the first time that something like this had happened, and anyone who could afford this kind of thing was either rich or wealthy. If it wasn't handled properly, it could cause major deaths and injuries, dealing a fatal blow to the company's reputation and stock.

"Hurry up and leave! If anything happens to my friend, you'd better watch out!"

Mark roared fiercely, clearly still unable to let it go.

The group of workers dared not argue and scurried away.

"Come on, let me take you to the hospital first. If you die in my house, my uncle and aunt will kill me!"

Looking at Mark's red eyes, Li Feng was deeply moved. This guy must not have slept for several days. He should go to the hospital for a check-up.

The results of the examination were surprising. Li Feng was perfectly healthy, but Mark had fainted. The doctor said his body lacked exercise and a certain type of activity had been overdone, resulting in the weakness of a particular organ. Combined with consecutive nights of anxiety and excessive exhaustion, he had passed out. However, there was nothing serious.

As a result, the patient was sitting by the bed, constantly eating, while the person who should have been sitting by the bed was lying unconscious on it.

Mark was very tired. He wanted to sleep for ten years, but the incessant sound of rustling awakened him. When he opened his eyes, he saw Li Feng eating non-stop.

As soon as Mark woke up, Li Feng noticed and showed a happy smile. Mark was about to curse, but when he saw Li Feng's eyes, he felt an invisible pressure envelop his body in an instant. Mark was not a naive boy, and his mental power was very active. This was his little secret. He had met some big shots and masters with his father, and those people had given him this kind of pressure. However, compared to Li Feng at this moment, those people were nothing. Mark rubbed his eyes, and the feeling disappeared. Was it a hallucination in a daze?

"Don't curse, don't curse. I confess my mistake. Be lenient with me." Li Feng quickly threw a banana at Mark.

Unexpectedly, Mark did not go berserk, but carefully scrutinized Li Feng. "Tsk tsk, something's not right, but I can't tell what it is. You were locked in the gravity room for two whole weeks and didn't die. Strange, really strange!"

"Hehe, I don't know what happened either. It's like I had a very long dream, and then I woke up!"

Mark's eyes sparkled. "A dream? You dreamt while under continuous gravity, and you didn't eat or drink for two weeks. That dream is really weird. Are you trying to fool a child? At first, I thought you were missing and couldn't find you anywhere. Later, I found out that the gravity device had been on all the time, but the door of the gravity room wouldn't open. If an external force was applied, it could cause an explosion, so we had to wait for the technicians to come. But the technicians said that the gravity device had lost control, and the maximum gravity range was more than ten times higher than normal. So tell me, what happened? Don't tell me you don't know anything!"

Mark is a journalist of the future, with a keen eye for things.

Li Feng immediately raised his hand, "Since being hit by a meteor, my body seems to have undergone some changes, but the hospital couldn't find anything wrong. I've been in a state of sleep for the past two weeks, and I don't care about the gravity device anymore."

As for the Devil Gold matter, don't tell anyone, or it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Neither NUP nor USE will let go of such an experimental subject, especially when they are defenseless.

"Damn, you are really unlucky. Anyway, as long as you're fine, don't keep training all the time. Enjoy life while you're young and go after girls!" Mark nodded and didn't pursue the matter any further.

"Haha, speaking of going after girls, you need to start practicing abstinence from today. Come train with me. The doctor said your body is too weak."

As Li Feng was talking, his face suddenly turned pale. Mark was frightened and jumped up, "What did the doctor say about me?"

"Heh, nothing. I forgot an important appointment, and it's already too late to go."

Li Feng smiled faintly. If it had been him before, he might have been devastated by missing such an opportunity. But he was no longer the same person he used to be.

Looking at Li Feng's smiling face, Mark felt as though he was both familiar and strange. Could it be that an alien had possessed him? That was too sci-fi!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the capital city, outside a luxurious villa covering over 3,000 square meters, all kinds of maglev cars were parked. Without exception, they were all luxurious models, even more extravagant than those displayed in the maglev car exhibition. Even in the three major cities in the Asian region, such a scene was rare. The reason for this was that the owner of the villa was celebrating her birthday.

The guests who came were all elites of high society. After all, Tang Ling, the only heir of GAD, was celebrating her birthday, and it was no small matter. The big shots from the business, political, and military circles all came. This was not just a birthday banquet, but also an important gathering for these people to network and socialize. Naturally, the focus was on Tang Ling. What's more, other factions also held her in high regard due to her family background, appearance, and talents, which were all well-known in the circle. Such a great girl, any young person with a family elder would not want to miss out. They all brought their suitable and impressive younger generation to meet and greet, in case they could win Tang Ling's favor, which would be an unimaginable help to both the individual and the family.
