Feng Yue arrived late, walking into the control room and seeing the scene on the screen, he was a bit surprised by Li Zheng's progress.
Rothschild noted that the record Feng Yue had always wanted to break was about to be broken by soone else first.
Feng Yue remained indifferent, believing that as long as there were breakthroughs in the project, it didn't matter if he was the one to break the record.
He opened the communicator and said, "Pathfinder, I've brought you what you wanted. Do you need to stop first?"
Li Zheng thought for a mont and said, "Okay."
Rothschild imdiately began to operate, gradually lowering the gravity coefficient to let Li Zheng out.
Feng Yue released three sets of clothes made of the softest tal of the Outer City from his personal space, which landed with a thud, producing three sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground.
Rothschild instantly understood Li Zheng's intention for these items: "You intend to enter the Gravity Generation Field with weights?"
Li Zheng said, "These weighted gears are to be used when I reach my gravity limit, not to be worn now."
"That's good." Rothschild breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After all, entering the Gravity Generation Field with weights is similar to increasing the gravity factor, and it will also affect your current data collection. If you reach a bottleneck period, you might use this thod to try and break through."
Just stepping out for a brief mont, Li Zheng imdiately returned to the Gravity Generation Field to continue today's training.
Li Zheng repeated the experience from not long ago, but this ti he noticed sothing different.
"Strange?" He frowned and slowly stood up from the ground: "I just paused for a mont, I couldn't even stand straight just now, and now I can?"
Although he still felt like a small mountain was pressing on him and couldn't make more movents even if he stood up straight, his eyelids drooped completely over his eye sockets, unable to open.
This situation confused both Li Zheng and those watching in the control room, Rothschild and Feng Yue.
Feng Yue was at a loss for words: "What... what's going on? Wasn't it still very difficult just now?"
Rothschild was also wide-eyed: "I don't know, such a case has never appeared before..."
He pondered and waited for about half an hour, then lowered the gravity independently, letting Li Zheng rest for half an hour, and once again had him enter the Gravity Generation Field.
This ti, the change was even more astonishing. Li Zheng actually took a small trembling step forward!
"Incredible!" Rothschild opened his eyes wide, pushing the glasses sliding down his long nose with his fingers: "His cells seed to have self-awareness as if, under the pressure of gravity, each cell is enduring the pressure and cannot make more changes to resist it.
"But after gravity stopped, it seems as if his cells, to resist possibly similar environnts appearing again, quickly transford themselves after the pressure was released, making each cell stronger and more pressure-resistant!"
"Is this situation normal?" Feng Yue found it hard to believe; how could any organism's cells be so smart?
"I don't know," Rothschild shook his head, his face bewildered: "I've researched a lot of materials and never seen a similar case, this is an unprecedented phenonon!"
Feng Yue realized: "So, this is a characteristic peculiar to his race?"
Mirel, listening to all the conversations from beside them, pondered: "It shouldn't be a racial issue, rather, Li Zheng himself is quite unique... could it be the effects of the pill taken from the Treasure Chest earlier?"
Li Zheng is a clone; if his race naturally possessed such unique characteristics, the Terminal would have discovered it long ago.
However, the Terminal never ntioned these, indicating the Terminal is unaware of Li Zheng's uniqueness.
If so, this also ans Li Zheng's uniqueness is a result of external transformation in his later life.
So, what's different about him?
Besides the strange Treasure Chest he obtained every day, there seed to be no other possibility.
Mirel ca to this realization at the sa ti Li Zheng reached the sa conclusion: "It seems the effects of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill are not as simple as initially known, but why didn't Prel ntion this change at the ti?"
[Would your Uncle Prel make such a low-level mistake? Think carefully about what Prel's original explanation was?]
Prelis' Eye suddenly 'ca alive,' displaying words in an arrogant tone.
Li Zheng's expression changed, recalling: "...After using it, significantly improve Physique, beco like Tang Monk, where others eating a part can gain a portion of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill's effect."
His eyes widened, causing his drooping eyelids to lift: "Is that how it is?"
He only realized at this mont that the function of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill given by Prelis' Eye was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
The most incongruous point was the latter part, 'becoming like Tang Monk, where others eating a part can gain a portion of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill's effect.'
At the ti, Li Zheng thought the reason others could gain so effect from eating him was that so effect had been stored in his body without being entirely absorbed.
Now he realizes the truth is the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill fundantally changed his Physique, making it completely different from before.
If he hadn't co to the Gravity Research Institute this ti, he might never have discovered this!
Soon, his expression turned peculiar: "If others could gain a similar effect from eating a part of , then Mirel she..."
In the control room, Mirel reactivated the Overweight Necklace, adjusting it to three tis the factor.
Since getting this necklace yesterday, she maintained double gravity, only turning it off to rest during sleep.
She tried triple gravity this morning and felt much more adapted than yesterday, though breathing was slightly labored.
Before Feng Yue arrived, she temporarily turned it off to allow herself a reprieve.
Upon reactivating the necklace now, she was surprised to find she adapted even more to the triple gravity environnt than before the pause, feeling significantly at ease!
"Why do I have a similar Physique?" Mirel pondered, knowing the Enchanting Demon Race couldn't possibly possess such a Physique; she had lived eighty years in the Abyss and knew this clearly.
Thus, it could only have transford after being with Li Zheng.
"Could it be...!" Being clever, Mirel was much quicker-witted than Li Zheng, and had initially disdained Li Zheng for it.
Eventually, she discovered Li Zheng was quite autonomous at critical monts, so she stopped interfering.
After thinking briefly, she understood the key issue.
Her cheeks gradually turned crimson, as if having drunk wine.
"This kind of thing absolutely cannot be disclosed. Otherwise, Li Zheng would definitely be consud by others!"
In the Gravity Generation Field,
Li Zheng's gaze deepened: "In the future, I must never casually give away any body tissue, or if soone discovers this trait, I'll be in danger."
Never again should he casually give away blood for testing, as before.
Who could ensure those testing the blood wouldn't suddenly develop the urge to taste its saltiness?
Rothschild and Feng Yue studied Li Zheng's data for a long ti but couldn't discern any specifics, only attributing this trait to Li Zheng's racial issues.
Feng Yue envied: "If I had such a trait, perhaps I'd have broken the record long ago?"
"Twenty years!" Rothschild adjusted his glasses: "Forget breaking the record, the new record has been out of reach for so many years!"
Feng Yue lanted: "It's a pity I was born into the wrong race..."
"What's there to envy?" Rothschild consoled him, "The Rothschilds have their advantages too, such as... persistence, which is your strength."
Persisting for over twenty years for an uncertain goal can't simply be explained by the word "persistence."
At this mont, Li Zheng's voice ca through the communicator: "Professor, please adjust according to half-hour limits and half-hour rest frequency."
"Okay." Rothschild agreed to the communicator.
Even if Li Zheng didn't ntion it, he would alter the plan, optimizing Li Zheng's training thod.
As going up and down with the gravity require buffer ti, each round takes nearly an hour and a half, so the effect Li Zheng obtains from a full day of training isn't much different from being continuously in a high-gravity environnt.
It's just that he can ease a bit personally, and paused lessons enable him to gain more gravity-related knowledge from Rothschild.
In the following six days, Li Zheng almost lived at the Gravity Research Institute.
Except for returning to rest with Mirel at night, he would go to the research institute upon waking.
Additionally, he took ti to study the Hundred Flowers Painting with Mirel a few more tis.
