Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 1048: The Well-balanced [Strong Body]

The China Science and Technology Expo was officially declared to have concluded perfectly. The first China Science and Technology Expo has left behind too many historical events with profound significance.

The whole world is overwhelmed. Before the last piece of heavy news has been digested, the next one comes out which is earth-shattering.

Many people feel excited about being on the eve of a great leap forward.

Everyone spent an unforgettable night with the grand fireworks along the river in Hangzhou, the light show of countless high-rise buildings, and the performance of thousands of drones.

Zhou Rui had a meal with the boss and talked for a long time at night. He did not return to the hotel until after four in the morning.

Since he didn't know when he would come back, or was not sure whether he could come back tonight, he specifically told Han Zinyin and the others not to wait for him. The lights in the room were left on, but the girls were all asleep.

It is worth mentioning that after Tong Xin came back from Qiandao Lake, she did not stay in a separate room, but moved into a suite together. Apparently, there were some developments in the three-day trip to Qiandao Lake that Zhou Rui did not know about.

There were three people in two different rooms, and Gan Yuan was also downstairs.

So the choice was given to Zhou Rui.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Rui decided
Go for a run.
Zhou Rui looked at his watch. It wasn't long before sunrise. He had to return to Shanghai the next morning, so he simply changed his clothes and went for a morning run.

He was not impatient enough to launch a night attack at four in the morning.

Let Ziyin and the others have a good sleep.

Since he started exercising again, he resumed his morning exercise habit. Even during the Science and Technology Expo, he would run along the Qianjiang Scenic Road when he had time, changing his speed to brush up on his "explosive power".

However, due to its high speed, it can only be done very early or very late, otherwise it will hit people.
Maybe he was sent away directly.

In the security team, the night shift staff who had been with Zhou Rui all night took a break, and the day shift staff seamlessly took over, changed into sneakers, and even wore the same clothes as Zhou Rui, and set off together.

Once they put on the hats, it was impossible to tell who was who. They all had good physiques, just like a morning jogging group of about ten people.

Zhou Rui’s current security force has risen to a level close to that of the “big boss”.

Considering that he often travels around and has a young person's spare time, the complexity may be even higher. After all, big guys don't go jogging in the city at 5 a.m.
Zhou Rui suddenly remembered that when he first changed from a "freelancer" to this "strong security" mode, he still imagined that he could just endure it and it would pass.
Now I find it funny. It turns out that if you just bear with it, your life will pass.
Therefore, he will no longer change his lifestyle because of "security issues", but only requires as sufficient manpower as possible to ensure rotation and rest.

By the Qiantang River, it was gray and there was a slight winter fog.

Zhou Rui jogged, adjusted his breathing, then sprinted a hundred meters, and then continued jogging, repeating the cycle over and over again.

"Entry task [Explosive Power], experience value +1, current progress (94/100)"

He had gained [Explosive Power] once, so he had a lot of experience in how to gain experience. However, as for [Crisis Intuition], he could only practice it after returning to Wanhu Base and continuing to play the game of dodging bullets.

By the way, as for the most special [Time Management Master], a not very optimistic situation emerged.

Haven't moved for a long time.

When Han Zinyin and the other two suddenly appeared in the exhibition hall, it was triggered once and the progress reached (97/100).

Zhou Rui fully expected that with the four great people gathered together, this long-lasting entry task could be completely completed within a few days.

Then it was as quiet as death.
In fact, he was not in a hurry, because there was no [entry] that he wanted urgently.

But we have to pay attention to it because according to "Master Zhou Rui", this entry is very important.

Is the key to the Light of Humanity
While changing speed, Zhou Rui thought:
What should I do? Is it because the truth about the "Big Four" has been revealed that the system no longer considers this to be within the scope of "Time Management Master"?

He can't possibly have to get another girlfriend just for the last three points of experience, right?
At least people can't.
Zhou Rui quickly defeated the group of morning joggers who had "bulges in their pants". These people had received professional training and their physical fitness was definitely not bad. However, Academician Zhou was proficient in both literature and martial arts, so he could not catch up.

Finally, Zhou Rui understood everyone's difficulties and changed it to running back and forth in a fixed area, about 20 meters long. The security team members stood meters apart, breathing heavily while ensuring the safety of the area.

After setting up the formation, Jia Xingjian, who was panting, suddenly had an idea and asked his brother, who was 100 meters away from him, to keep time.

Boss, this is too awesome! Visually it looks like a locomotive, I wonder how many seconds it takes to run 100 meters.

It's not that rigorous. I just pressed the timer on my phone. There's not even a straight line to use as a reference. I just went by feel.

The result is a number starting with 6.
6.25.

ha?
What does 6 seconds mean? He has been practicing for almost an hour. Although he is not a professional, he at least has common sense.
Well, it should be because the method is not professional and the error is too big.
Suddenly, Zhou Rui stopped running.
Experience, full
"Entry task [Explosive Power], experience value +1, current progress (100/100)"

He wasn’t very excited. After all, it was the second time he got it. While adjusting his breathing, Zhou Rui silently opened the system.

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the white entry [Explosive Power]. The effect of this entry is that you can gain a significant increase in explosive power at the cost of a slight muscle strain."

"The effects of muscle strain are cumulative and may eventually turn into an untreatable injury, so use with caution."

It is exactly the same as it was back then. It can increase the ultimate strength by about 2-3 times. It can also affect speed and other strength-related attributes. It can also produce some chemical reactions with [Hardening]. It is a basic and practical entry.

There are some minor side effects, but he can ignore them as he has the [Imperfect Body].

Zhou Rui raised one arm, and the [Hardening] effect was secretly activated in his long sleeves.

The arm gradually turned red, and finally took on a hint of purple. The system did not explain this state, but it itself had some effects of "enhancing strength" and "reducing flexibility". This was an inevitable physiological change caused by a large amount of congestion.

Add to that [explosive power]. One punch can probably have the power of thirty years.
Zhou Rui shook his hands and dispersed his "skills". It was almost seven o'clock and other people who were jogging in the morning appeared one after another. Zhou Rui stretched his legs while opening the system and began to do the "exhaustive permutation and combination method" that he had to do every time he got a new entry.

Last time he used the exhaustive method, and luckily he found out the synthesis path of [Immaculate Body].

Theoretically, the synthesis path could be two-in-one or three-in-one, with many permutations and combinations. However, he was also an old hand, and it was obvious that he only needed to pull in the [entries] related to "body". Although the system liked to play word games, it was not too ridiculous.

For example, [Aquaman] + [Explosive Power] = [Exploding Aquaman] is impossible to happen.
But after trying it out, Zhou Rui, who was stretching his legs, was stunned.
The system actually showed a prompt.
So lucky? Twice in a row, I used permutations and combinations to find the synthesis path?
In the system space, three entries rose and fell slightly. They were [athlete], [hardening], and [explosive power].

"Retrieving. Retrieval successful, synthesis path exists! Do you want to synthesize immediately?"

Zhou Rui touched his chin.
Although there is a risk of not inheriting the effect when synthesizing, [Athlete] is even a three-in-one green item. Its materials include the first [Explosive Power] that was sacrificed.
This synthesis path is a bit like a nesting doll.

But he no longer hesitates about such things now.

Zhou Rui took a deep breath and said silently: "Synthesis."

The next moment, the three entries dissolved into the shape of ion clusters, and then began to gather, blend, and reshape.

Finally, a flash of blue light appeared.

"Congratulations to the host for synthesizing the blue entry [Strong Body]."

"Effect 1 → Strengthen: Inherits some of the effects of the raw material's effects and is strengthened. Strength, toughness, and explosive power are limited to the same level as those of natural species. Physical training effects are doubled, and the host is immune to sports injuries such as muscle strain. This effect is not limited by the host's condition, regardless of fatigue."

"Effect 2 → Strengthening: Greatly enhances the host's maximum carrying capacity of adrenaline, norepinephrine, thyroxine, endorphin, and G-ketone, reduces the side effects of 'endogenous hormones' and 'exogenous hormones' by 90%."

"Effect 3 → Strong: Mobilize blood and hormones to form a partial or full-body 'Strong Mode', which greatly improves physical fitness at the cost of rapid energy consumption."

"Note: Muscles are not that easy to train, it's better to learn chemistry well!"

Zhou Rui read it carefully three times.
[Strong Body]: Really strong
After thinking for a while, he used his back to block his sight, faced the Qiantang River and pretended to look at the scenery, while secretly activating the so-called "strong mode".
I saw my right hand start to smoke.
It is real physical smoke. Because the temperature of the arm begins to rise rapidly, the pores begin to open, and the evaporated water rises slowly with smoke in the cold winter at the end of November.
Compared to the black and purple condition of [Hardened], this seems to be better looking and closer to the appearance of a normal human explosion.

Zhou Rui pinched himself with his fingernails and found that he was tougher than [hardened], and his defense ability seemed to be even better than that. And he felt almost no pain.
What is this berserker mode?

And what does the system mean by "greatly improving" physical fitness?
Zhou Rui used this hand to hold the marble fence in front of him, and kept exerting force.
Until your knuckles crack!

Didn't crush it either.
Well, he was obviously overthinking it, crushing a marble bar as thick as a calf with his bare hands by gripping it with his hands, and this was not within the scope of carbon-based life.
So he changed his approach.

Push forward instead.

Click!

"Oh~ Damn it!"

Because it was much easier than he had imagined, the marble bar broke without a second's hesitation, and Zhou Rui lost his balance.

The security personnel who had been observing from behind were almost going crazy!
Spicy balls!

Academician Zhou is about to fall into the Qiantang River! Most of his body is sticking out!
A group of people ran towards this side frantically and quickly hugged Zhou Rui: "Be careful!"

"Academician Zhou!"

"careful!"

Some people even rushed too hard and almost fell down, but luckily they grabbed the railing.

Jia Xingjian even hugged Zhou Rui's thighs and said, "Boss! You are so rich! Don't let this bother you!"

Zhou Rui pushed everyone away. He didn't even try to go down, but was almost pushed down by these people!

"Disperse! I'm fine!"

Rolling his eyes, Zhou Rui explained, "I was just trying to prop up my arm, but I didn't expect it to break. It must be of poor quality."

Although the marble bar in Zhou Rui's hand that was broken into two pieces did not look like it was of poor quality, there seemed to be no other possibility.

How the hell is Hangzhou's urban construction done! The guardrail on the river bank falls down as soon as it is pushed!
If Master Zhou falls into the river, who will be responsible? I must report this to the city of Hangzhou later!
After the false alarm, Zhou Rui awkwardly put the marble railing on the ground and said, "Ahem! Leave someone to call the Urban Management Bureau or some other department and report it. If compensation is needed, pay it according to the price."

The security team thought that compensation should be paid! The city of Hangzhou should be held accountable! What a shoddy project!

A small episode, Zhou Rui asked everyone to jog back to the hotel, and after having breakfast with Ziyin and the others, it was time to return to Shanghai.

But along the way, my heart was not at peace.

Except because the "strong mode" far exceeded expectations.

What’s more, the term [strong body] is quite interesting!
As we all know, the entry system likes to play some "word games".

Many of these rules were discovered by Zhou Rui from "text" year after year.

For example, now, he keenly discovered a problem.

[The body of a strong man] and [the body of an impeccable man], are they very similar?
The three effects of the strong body are "strong body", "strong soul" and "strong person".

The [Leak-free Body] also has three effects, namely "No Stain", "No Repair", and "No Leakage".

Moreover, the term "natural alien" appeared in both.

Look at it! How neat the parallelism is! The last time this happened, it was the [Masters of the Subjects].

If you say there is no synthesis path, he will be the first one to not believe it!
The first thing that came to his mind was the [peak of the human body].

This entry may refer to the golden entry that he has never owned.

[The pinnacle of human flesh] + [The pinnacle of human mind] = [Perfect life]

The effect of an unpredictable level item will be greatly enhanced for each level of rarity difference.
But just now he secretly dragged [Strong Body] and [Leak-free Body] into the synthesis page, but the system showed that the synthesis path did not exist.
This means one or more puzzle pieces are missing.
