"Don't get wrong, there's absolutely no chance that I ca back to keep you company out of a guilty conscience for leaving you here all alone," Zhan Zhouzhou said, raising her hand to remove the necklace from her neck and handing it to Li Zheng as she approached, "As agreed, once we et in the Outer City, this necklace is yours."
"You went out of your way just for this?" Li Zheng was completely surprised that Zhan Zhouzhou turned out to be such a trustworthy person; he himself had forgotten about the 'Overweight' Necklace, yet Zhan Zhouzhou rembered and specially ca back to give it to him.
"What else?" Zhan Zhouzhou shrugged, "Anyway, in a while, we'll be heading to the Gravity Research Institute. By then, I'll have better alternatives, so giving you this thing a few days early doesn't affect much."
That's indeed true.
As far as Li Zheng knew, Zhan Zhouzhou was already accustod to the tenfold gravity amplification provided by the Overweight Necklace, so whether she continues wearing it doesn't really matter.
There's no way 'Overweight' could bring her greater improvent.
"Thanks." Li Zheng took the necklace from Zhan Zhouzhou's hand and promptly put it around his own neck, activating the 1.5 tis gravity adjustnt.
Instantly, a sudden pressure of gravity pressed down on Li Zheng from all directions. Since the increase wasn't very large, he quickly began to adjust to it.
"Most people can start training with double gravity; those of us who have reinforced our bodies with potions can even start from five or six tis," Zhan Zhouzhou advised Li Zheng on how to use 'Overweight.'
"...I'll take it step by step." Li Zheng didn't heed Zhan Zhouzhou's advice; she used her own standards to compare with others, thinking everyone is like her, a bit of a freak...
He adjusted the gravity from 1.5 increntally upwards, pausing to adapt each ti he increased it by 0.1 before continuing again.
Initially, besides the sensation of gravity causing every inch of skin, every muscle, every bone, every organ, and even the blood to crazily surge downward, the physical fitness of soone newly entering the extraordinary level was undeniable; adapting to 2~3 tis gravity amplification was only a matter of ti.
About ten minutes later, Li Zheng successfully increased the gravity amplification to six tis!
At this point, he was beginning to feel slightly strained, having no choice but to stop increasing the force.
"Wow, your insight is sharp. My limit indeed is the six tis gravity amplification," Li Zheng gave Zhan Zhouzhou a thumbs up, the gravity amplification matched exactly as she said.
"Of course, after all, I've worn this necklace for nearly a month, so I know all of its characteristics." Zhan Zhouzhou gave a little smug smile, then said, "Alright, take your ti to adapt over the next few days; I'll go back for so rest, as I have a few tasks to take care of tomorrow and need to refresh myself."
"Alright..."
Seeing that Zhan Zhouzhou genuinely had no intention of staying to guard the Teleportation Gate with him, Li Zheng could only watch her leave once again.
After Zhan Zhouzhou left, Li Zheng returned to sit at the table.
As soon as his butt touched the seat, he suddenly thought of sothing.
Would the gravity amplification provided by the necklace transfer through his body to the chair beneath him?
Squeak——
The next second, Li Zheng got the answer: Yes!
The wooden chair emitted a strained groan, startling Li Zheng into standing up imdiately.
If the chair broke, he couldn't guarantee whether the action of falling would shatter the balance between his spiritual power and his body...
"...I'm seriously cracking up here!"
Li Zheng tried several tis and ultimately abandoned the idea of constantly keeping the gravity amplification on because he found that not only was his martial arts talent extrely poor, he couldn't even control his body like Zhan Zhouzhou, who could withstand gravity amplification without affecting external objects...
It's true that Zhan the Heroine can walk on the beach with the tenfold amplification without sinking, yet he can't even sit on a wooden stool without ensuring he won't crush it.
"This is such trashy luck... deceiving !!"
Li Zheng felt particularly annoyed; ever since he gained super spiritual power, even everyday life had beco cautious, really inconvenient!
Turning off the necklace's function and sitting back on the chair, supporting his head with both hands, Li Zheng began his most boring ti as a temporary worker.
In the Outer City, the sky showed no sun, moon, or stars, always looking the sa, making it hard for people to sense the passage of ti.
Li Zheng drowsily guarded the Teleportation Gate, while Mirel, who accompanied him for a while, first succumbed to exhaustion and fell asleep on the table.
During the day, occasionally two or three users would appear to use the Teleportation Gate, but at night, not only did people stop using the gate, even the bustling crowds on the streets decreased by more than half.
Amidst the boredom, Li Zheng heard that familiar voice in his ear.
[Random Treasure Chest draw in progress, please wait...]
[Draw successful, Treasure Chest quality: Super God! Would you like to extract now?]
"Huh???" Li Zheng's hand slipped from supporting his chin; he genuinely thought he heard wrong.
Super Divine Level Treasure Chest?
It seems this is the first ti he's drawn it?
It turns out there is a level above King Level?
However, that wasn't all.
Just as Li Zheng was surprised at the quality of the treasure chest drawn today, that voice continued in his ear.
[The first ti drawing a 'Super God' quality Treasure Chest, initiates comprehensive system upgrade task!]
anwhile, so information appeared in the illusionary fra displaying text from Old Pew.
[Task Objective: Draw two more 'Super God' quality Treasure Chests.]
[Task Progress: 0/2]
[Task Deadline: None]
[Old Pew: Congratulations, your dumb luck finally exploded once, managing to draw the highest-quality treasure chest currently. Hurry and eat sothing good; I'm afraid you might not have the chance in the future.]
"Dang it!" Li Zheng was not angry at Old Pew's sarcasm; rather, he realized, "With my luck drawing the highest-quality treasure chest, I must say... it kind of has a sacrificing lifespan sense!"
Suddenly drawing the highest-level jackpot, once the excitent passed, Li Zheng suddenly felt this treasure chest seed a tad foreboding, like it might be his last al.
Could it be that after opening this treasure chest, he wouldn't be far from death?
Is Zhan the Heroine's protagonist halo activating, preparing to sacrifice a teammate?
[Are you experiencing the so-called gain and loss mindset now?]
Old Pew struck to the heart, revealing Li Zheng's thoughts.
He's just like those lottery enthusiasts who eagerly wait for the jackpot, and soday when he indeed wins, amid happiness, there's a strong sense of unease.
Honestly, Li Zheng was indeed a little scared to extract the Super God Level Treasure Chest, worried about imbalanced emotions.
Thunk!
A radiant chest landed before Li Zheng, "Damn the gain and loss dilemma, it's rare for to hit the jackpot once, happiness is all that matters!"
Spitting into his palms, Li Zheng showed a market-like expression, rubbing his hands together.
Treasure Chest.
Here I co!
