I'm a hero in Marvel
Chapter 26 The Most Harsh
In normal adults, the body fat percentage of adult men is usually around 15%, and athletes like wrestlers strictly control their body fat percentage to around 8%. However, most people's physical condition is not ideal nowadays, and many adult men have a body fat percentage of more than 20%, and some even as high as 30%.
Thor is facing such a problem at the moment. He used to have eight abdominal muscles and a perfect mermaid line figure, and his body fat rate never exceeded 7%. But now, he has become a fat man with a body fat rate of up to 35%.
Although he only gained more than 30 kilograms in the past month, he felt like a blown-up balloon, with his volume expanding several times.
In order to help Thor lose weight, Li Jie specially developed a comprehensive plan. Whether it was diet or fitness training, he consulted professionals and got the best method. Of course, this best method was also the most stringent.
This is a plan to ensure that Thor loses weight and regains his figure in the shortest possible time while ensuring that nothing unexpected happens to him. Li Jie takes on the role of implementing and supervising this plan.
Sitting at the dining table, Thor could not help but complain: "Can't I have some meat?" In front of him were boiled carrots, celery and asparagus, with only a little soy sauce added as seasoning. Since Thor still needs to exercise a lot every day, protein supplementation is essential, so there is also a portion of boiled egg white on his plate. As for the egg yolk, Thor cannot eat it because it contains high cholesterol and calories, so Li Jie only let him eat the egg white.
"Nonsense!" Li Jie glanced at Thor and retorted, "How could a rabbit eat eggs!" and pointed to the egg whites in Thor's plate.
"You said this is an egg laid by a chicken?" Thor looked at the egg white that was as white as the white porcelain plate and asked angrily, "Which chicken lays an egg without even a yolk?"
Li Jie never liked to argue with Thor on these issues, and he always kept a pistol loaded with rubber bullets next to his seat.
He picked up the pistol at random, loaded it with a click, then released the safety and slammed the pistol on the table with a thump.
"The eggs I bought are like this, is there a problem?" Li Jie looked at Thor with a smile. However, Thor couldn't help but feel terrified.
"Well, I just want to know where I can buy this kind of eggs. Maybe the goddesses of Asgard will like this healthy food very much." Thor glanced at the pistol on the table with fear, then lowered his head and began to eat his lunch resignedly, like a rabbit.
Thor swore to himself: Just wait and see! When I regain my power, I will definitely make you suffer! I will punish you with the power of thunder! I will let you experience the wrath of thunder!
By the way, Li Jie's lunch was a simple and unpretentious meal of braised lamb chops cooked by himself, served with stir-fried seasonal vegetables, clam seafood soup and rice. As for enjoying lunch with Thor, Li Jie thought that doing so would enhance the relationship between the two. Well, maybe?
"Take a break for an hour after lunch. You will exercise on the spinning bike in the afternoon." Li Jie finished the last bite of braised lamb chops and pointed at Thor with the lamb chops.
The spinning bike training that Thor is going to do is not as simple as just riding a bike. In order to ensure the exercise time and exercise effect, Li Jie specially purchased a special spinning bike. The biggest feature of this bike is that it can convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.
In this way, Li Jie can connect a wire to the bicycle, connect it to a custom base, and then install a 100-watt incandescent lamp on the base. To keep this 100-watt incandescent lamp on, the rider must maintain a speed of more than 23 kilometers per hour; once the speed slows down, the brightness of the bulb will immediately decrease, and may even flicker.
In this way, Li Jie can easily detect whether Thor is lazy while riding. Li Jie silently gave himself thirty-two thumbs up for this idea.
Thor looked at Li Jie's sumptuous lunch, glanced at his own plate, then looked at the pistol on the table, and finally lowered his head and whispered, "Okay."
Well, Thor is becoming more and more cooperative now, which is undoubtedly a good sign for them. Li Jie thought happily. At this moment, he received a message from Professor Charles: "Logan needs help!"
When Li Jie found Logan, his old friend looked more haggard than the last time they met. Li Jie suspected that he might have seen it wrongly, because he had never heard that Wolverine would age.
However, Logan's eyelids did seem a little heavy, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time. He sat under a fir tree in a park in the Bronx, quietly waiting for Li Jie to arrive.
He had already drunk about half of the bottle of gin in his hand. As soon as Li Jie approached, he could already smell the strong smell of alcohol.
"The professor said you need help. Do you want me to help you quit drinking?" Li Jie asked with a frown. He was not against drinking, but he was disgusted by the uncontrolled drinking. Whether it was Thor before or Logan now, once people drink too much alcohol, they often do some absurd things, especially those with extraordinary powers. They often make irreparable mistakes when they are not sober.
Logan glanced at Li Jie and gulped down the remaining half bottle of gin. "Don't laugh at my drinking habits, just like I never laugh at how stupid your hood is."
Logan touched his face and said, "This is because of Daken. You should also know that Magneto instructed Paul to induce Daken to go to Sharen, which then caused a series of problems."
Li Jie nodded in understanding, he had no intention of blaming Deacon for being stupid, although in his opinion, Deacon was indeed quite stupid, whether it was Deacon killing his mother in Japan or later attempting to attack Li Jie at school.
In short, Li Jie doesn't have much good feelings towards Daken, especially the time when he was easily fooled by Magneto, which triggered a chain reaction. In the end, Li Jie, Tony, the professor and others had to work together to settle it.
"I hope you can help me, Nightwalker. The professor said you have a method to train mind control." Logan stared at Li Jie and spoke very seriously.
However, Li Jie looked confused: "Huh? Charles told you that?"
"Yes, that's what the professor said. He believes that both Deacon and I need to use our mental strength to guide the power in our bodies." Logan's face showed a trace of confusion, and it was obvious that he had not fully understood this point of view.
Li Jie glanced at Logan and roughly understood what he meant. "Essence, Qi, and Spirit are a trinity. Cultivate the mind, nourish the spirit, and practice Qi. Mystical schools in the East and the West, such as Taoism and Buddhism, have similar cultivation methods. Take the spirit as the guide, the inner strength as the skeleton, and the strength as the muscle. Let your spirit control the strength, rather than being controlled by the strength."
These views were derived from Li Jie's exchanges with Tie Quan, as well as the interpretation of some metaphysical books brought back from Kamartai. In addition, after returning from hell last time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gave him a small Ksitigarbha statue, and Li Jie began to think about how to comprehend the meaning of the Ksitigarbha Sutra behind the statue, so he also bought a related commentary to study.
Li Jie tried to train his spiritual strength in this way, but the time is still short and no significant results have been achieved so far.
"Well, that's roughly what happened. Charles should have meant this." Logan scratched the back of his head. He himself didn't understand the matter very well. But he was sure that this was what the professor meant.
"Why don't you go find Iron Fist? Actually, I'm a novice in spiritual practice, and I learned a lot from Iron Fist." Li Jie answered honestly.
After all, his power comes from system exchange, unlike Iron Fist who has a solid foundation after twenty years of hard training. Li Jie's biggest problem is that his foundation is not solid enough.
Iron Fist had warned him that not even understanding the basic principles of how power is generated before using it could easily lead to problems. From an Eastern perspective, this could lead to obsession; from a Buddhist perspective, this could lead to demons in the heart.
Therefore, Li Jie is not in a hurry to improve his own strength. Even though he has gained hundreds of thousands of fans in a short period of time with his comics and previous online short videos, he did not plan to find a job immediately after graduating from high school. Instead, he decided to practice with full concentration to prepare for the future. Whether it is Kunlun Mountain or Kamar-Taiki, he plans to visit and practice one by one.
Without profound knowledge, relying on strength alone is very dangerous. Li Jie decided to first truly understand the ways of practicing strength, and then consider strengthening his own strength. Especially when he exchanged the first volume of the God of War Atlas and found that it did not record kung fu and moves, but a record about the origin of strength, he became more determined to understand the essence of strength.
"I don't quite understand what Charles said." Logan shook his head and said to Li Jie, "He said that Iron Fist and you have different spiritual paths. Dr. Hank saw the relationship between you and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in hell, which seems to be related to Buddhism."
Logan's words lack logic, making it difficult to guess what he wants to express. After all, for someone who has never been involved in Eastern Buddhism and metaphysics, these two disciplines are too profound and difficult to understand and relay.
Li Jie tried to help Logan explain things more clearly: "Charles hopes to use the spiritual power of Buddhism to dissolve the evil spirit in you and Deacon?" Li Jie tried to simplify the words as much as possible, and also explained to Logan the meaning of the word "evil spirit".
"Yes, that's about what I mean. So Charles asked me to come to you, hoping that you can help me and Daken." Logan nodded in confirmation.
Li Jie looked at Logan and felt that his values were impacted. Let's not talk about Daken for now. Just Logan, he started killing people more than 200 years ago. He experienced the War of Independence, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and even worked as a mercenary assassin. His hands were stained with countless blood. It can be said that the violent factor has penetrated into his bones. Now he wants to rely on the power of Buddhism to purify his sins? Li Jie thought, Professor Charles, I am not a big man like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"I refuse." Li Jie rejected this matter almost without hesitation: "To be honest, Logan, I'm afraid I can't help with this matter. My strength is not strong enough to teach you and Daken."
Li Jie had a clear understanding of himself. The sins of Logan were not something that a novice like him could solve. He was firm in his words. This was not an excuse, but a fact.
Logan understood clearly, so he looked at Li Jie, lowered his head helplessly and sighed: "Okay, I'll think of another way. No matter what, I can't let Deacon follow my old path again."
