After leaving the 9718 bar, the sky outside was almost dark.
Thinking about the absurd scene just now made Li Zhi, a person with a thick skin, unable to help but blush. The image of Sun Rao struggling and screaming was still vivid in Li Zhi's mind, intensifying his already very unpleasant mood.
Is it his fault?
Li Zhi dared to say without hesitation, "I am the victim!"
Although Fang Guoxiang did not show up later and Sun Rao was helped away, the other women in the private room did not leave. It was likely that they were behind the whole incident. The reason? Guilty conscience! Otherwise, the people in the bar would have intervened long ago.
If Li Zhi had truly been harmed by the ten Viagra pills, who would bear the consequences? Although it could be considered a blessing in disguise, Li Zhi would definitely not forget anyone's kindness. He made a mental note of the account with Fang Guoxiang. No one could escape, and they would all be held accountable.
After a full three hours of exercise, Li Zhi did not feel the slightest fatigue due to a fifty percent overall increase in physical fitness. Instead, he felt refreshed and invigorated. The energy in his body felt as powerful as a punch that could bring down an ox.
Back at home, Li Zhi sat on the sofa, feeling that something was amiss. Strength could not have come out of nowhere; neither could it have come from the Night Royal Ten Women nor the ten Viagra pills.
It seemed like a faint warmth was guiding his entire body from his fingers.
Fingers?
Li Zhi looked at his hand, which was bare except for a ring. The Factory World Map Ring?
My goodness! Li Zhi's eyes widened. The Factory World Map Ring was nothing special. It only contained a map of the world, highlighting the 5th Star Harbor. The ring was ordinary, and the 5th Star Harbor world was typical. The only abnormal thing was the interstellar core!
A standard-grade interstellar core is theoretically capable of supporting Li Zhi to enter the '5th Star Harbor' map world 10,000 times without carrying any objects. However, Li Zhi had only entered four times, so there should have been 9,996 times left.
But now, this standard-grade interstellar core was only sufficient for Li Zhi to travel to the '5th Star Harbor' 6,232 times.
The red numbers stimulated Li Zhi.
Could the transformation and enhancement of his physical fitness require such a significant amount of energy simply because it increased by fifty percent?
A standard-grade interstellar core is worth billions of dollars. Is it worth expending so much energy on a minor improvement that costs over thirty billion dollars? Li Zhi found it hard to accept. Was he really worth that much?
"Ding: Human body transformation requires a massive amount of energy, especially for the brain, meridians, internal organs, bone marrow, and other cells in the body." Originally, the Nebula i9 intelligence aimed to enhance the body's various functional qualities twofold. However, due to inadequate energy supply, it had to compromise and settle for less. The manufacturer hopes that in the future, you will read more and exercise diligently to compensate for the gap in your body.
Gap?
I have no gap! Read more? Am I stupid? A person as intelligent as I am needs to read more. Li Zhi widened his eyes and suddenly realized that his memory seemed to have improved. He could recall events from today, yesterday, half a month ago, and even several years ago as soon as he thought about them.
Fifty percent improvement?
Does this mean that Li Zhi's already "very intelligent" brain has become "extremely intelligent" after improving by half? Despite Li Zhi appearing like a young man in his twenties, his body's internal functions, organs, cells, etc., have regressed to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old, making him physically younger and more energetic, with enhanced plasticity.
What about meridians and channels? Although Li Zhi didn't know their location or identity, a fifty percent increase could only yield benefits, not drawbacks.
Greater plasticity!
Li Zhi clenched his fist. With his current physical condition, it was not too late to learn anything.
The money spent was worth it. It was only a third of the energy of a standard-grade interstellar core, or about thirty billion dollars.
What's the point of making money if not to spend it? Especially in terms of quality, even though it only increased by half, the power was undeniably immense, and that was beyond question. The feeling was exceptionally obvious.
There were also factors such as luck, temperament, and charm that he couldn't grasp. If all of these were increased by half, then there was nothing more to say.
Li Zhi jumped up from the sofa, went to the study, and turned on the computer to search for videos and articles about martial arts, traditional arts, and combat.
This had always been his weakness. Even Dong Xiaorou couldn't beat him before, and she had kicked him off the bed three times. It was a disgrace. If Li Zhi's martial strength surpassed Dong Xiaorou's, how could he tolerate her insolence!
With the internet being so advanced now, almost all information and training methods for various martial arts can be found online. Especially for major martial arts like Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi, Bajiquan, Yongchun, Changquan, Hongquan, and more, there are plenty of video materials available. However, most of them were instructional and routine-based, with few videos demonstrating actual combat techniques.
But there were plenty of videos available for sports such as boxing, Sanda, and Muay Thai that could be used in competitions.
With his current brain, it was like taking a powerful pill. It operated at a high speed, and he could remember everything he read or watched. After reading and analyzing some technical aspects, he could remember most of it.
Simple martial arts disciplines like boxing and Sanda are easy to learn.
Learning was one thing, but actually using them was another matter. Even the simplest things require constant practice. It was common knowledge that practice makes perfect. Li Zhi knew that he couldn't just learn but also had to practice. And not just practice, but practice diligently.
What ordinary people couldn't endure was what ordinary people couldn't have.
Although Li Zhi's physical fitness had improved, it was only at a higher starting point than the average person. He couldn't just jump into learning martial arts right away.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, sweating profusely, taking a shower, and lying in bed, Li Zhi pondered that although all aspects of his physical fitness had improved by fifty percent, it was not sufficient for attributes such as stamina, speed, and reaction time. He still needed to practice.
For example, strength, speed, reaction time, and so on. The energy required to enhance these aspects should not be high, but when Li Zhi sought the assistance of the Nebula i9 intelligence to aid in his transformation, there was no response.
If necessary, Li Zhi decided to buy some fitness equipment and get a gym membership the next day. Relying on others was never as good as relying on oneself.
The Nebula i9 intelligent factory system had advised Li Zhi to read more and exercise diligently. Therefore, from now on, Li Zhi will dedicate himself to reading more, exercising more, and striving to improve. He would listen to advice and eat well!
