Xu Zhengyang's shelter had all the various supplies needed for the physical awakening task.
So as soon as Xu Zhengyang closed the task details, he received a new task prompt: [Would you like to proceed with the physical awakening?]
(Warning: Please perform the physical awakening task inside the shelter!) After reading the task prompt, Xu Zhengyang headed to the medical room of the shelter.
In the center of the medical room, there was a large, high-tech box, the YS-1 Surgical Robot, which was a reward from the system.
Although it was a surgical robot, it still had life-support functions.
After Xu Zhengyang filled the material compartment of the surgical robot with ample life-support medications, he opened the lid and lay down inside.
Everything was ready.
Only then did Xu Zhengyang press the awakening button!
Hungry! The moment Xu Zhengyang pressed the awakening task, a strong sense of hunger surged up immediately! At that moment, the surgical robot also keenly sensed the changes in Xu Zhengyang's body.
Its mechanical arms transformed into several needles, which promptly pierced into Xu Zhengyang's veins! Following that, glucose, water, and some other necessary life elements were continuously injected into Xu Zhengyang's body by the surgical robot!
The physical awakening task was different from the mental awakening task.
The mental awakening task required a medium to create an illusion; as long as one could break through the illusion, the task was considered complete.
However, for the physical awakening task, all Xu Zhengyang could do was endure!
This was a transformation from the inside out.
From the initial hunger, to the intense pain in the middle, and finally to the last stage of itching...
Xu Zhengyang was in the medical chamber of the surgical robot, constantly enduring this inhuman torment.
In this painful ordeal, Xu Zhengyang could hardly feel the passage of time.
He didn't know how long it had been.
Just when he felt he had reached his limit and was on the verge of mental collapse, Xu Zhengyang suddenly felt a lightness in his body, a sense of indescribable comfort surged throughout him!
Immediately after.
The long-awaited system subtitles finally appeared before Xu Zhengyang's eyes: [Attribute Awakening Task: Physical Strength (Completed)]
[Reward: Super Immunity]
Xu Zhengyang had a look of relief on his face, tiredly saying, "Finally, it's over..."
While speaking, Xu Zhengyang lay in the medical chamber for a while to recover his strength before getting up to check the specific attributes of Super Immunity: [Super Immunity: Your immune system has received an epic enhancement, allowing you to be immune to most infections from viruses, bacteria, and fungi.]
After seeing the detailed introduction of Super Immunity, Xu Zhengyang smiled with satisfaction, "The pain I just endured was worth it!"
With Super Immunity, Xu Zhengyang no longer had to worry about being infected by the unknown Zombie virus! At that moment.
Xu Zhengyang glanced at his attributes, filled with anticipation, "Mental Strength reached five points, and after completing the awakening task, I gained Total Concentration; Physical Strength reached five points, and after completing the awakening task, I gained Super Immunity.
What powerful skills will I gain after awakening Strength, Intelligence, and Agility?"
As he spoke, a look of longing appeared on Xu Zhengyang's face.
*After successfully enduring the physical awakening task, Xu Zhengyang took a shower in the bathroom to wash off the dirt on his body.
Just then, he received a call from the delivery guy.
The one hundred drones Xu Zhengyang ordered from the official website two days ago had arrived! After checking the goods, signing for them, and moving them.
Once Xu Zhengyang moved all the drones into the shelter, he couldn't wait to tape the remote-controlled bombs he had made to the hollow cargo hold of the drones.
After completing the first specially-made drone.
Sure enough.
Xu Zhengyang's task target had changed to [1/10]! This method was indeed feasible!
So Xu Zhengyang repeated the process, and in just about ten minutes, the main quest was successfully completed! [Main Quest: Assault (Completed)]
[Reward: Strength Enhancement Potion II]
...
[Strength Enhancement Potion II]
[Effect: Permanently increases Strength attribute by 2 points upon consumption.]
With the appearance of the system prompt.
A bottle of Strength Enhancement Potion appeared in Xu Zhengyang's hand out of nowhere.
Having just tasted the sweetness of attribute awakening, Xu Zhengyang decisively opened the bottle cap and drank it all in one go!
As the Strength Enhancement Potion went down.
Xu Zhengyang felt as if he were a balloon filled with air, a sensation of expansion coursing through his entire body! Mental Strength, being an abstract attribute, Xu Zhengyang couldn't test it.
But strength was easy to test.
So Xu Zhengyang immediately went to the gym, lay on the Smith machine, and called Da Bai (Big White) to be his protective coach, preparing to use the bench press to test his strength increase!
50kg;
80kg;
100kg...
Weights that were once incredibly difficult, but for the current Xu Zhengyang, they felt as easy as eating and drinking.
Xu Zhengyang could easily push them up!
So he further increased the weight of the barbell, starting from one hundred fifty kilograms, all the way up to three hundred sixty kilograms, reaching his limit! Bench pressing three hundred sixty kilograms...
Given Xu Zhengyang's current weight of eighty kilograms, this achievement could even win him a championship at the Olympics! Feeling the change within himself.
Xu Zhengyang was overjoyed, so he immediately opened his task list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Smokeless Gunpowder (In Progress)]
[Whether it's bullets, bombs, or shells, they all rely on smokeless gunpowder.
Because of this, you need to build a smokeless gunpowder factory in your shelter so that you can replenish ammunition at any time.]
[Task Objective: Build a smokeless gunpowder factory (not less than 25 square meters);
Collect 30 tons each of the main materials for making smokeless gunpowder (cotton, sulfuric acid, nitric acid).]
[Task Reward: Intelligence Enhancement Potion II]
"Good, good, good."
Upon seeing the task objective, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but exclaim, "This task is getting more and more challenging!"
The main component of smokeless gunpowder is nitrocellulose.
The production process is quite simple; you just need to soak cotton in a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, then wash and dry it.
The hardest part of this task isn't the process, but the acquisition of the two main raw materials.
Both sulfuric acid and nitric acid are precursors for making drugs.
If you don't have a purchase certificate issued by the Public Security Bureau, no factory in the country would dare sell large quantities of these substances!
Especially since Xu Zhengyang needed such a large amount!
As soon as he dared to inquire, the manufacturers would immediately report to the police to avoid being implicated by Xu Zhengyang.
