"Loan?" 103 quickly guessed what Shang Yechu meant. "Loan for combat power?"
“Yes,” Shang Yechu said through gritted teeth, “Even high-interest loans are fine, like borrowing one and paying back three, or something like that…”
“No,” 103 said coldly. “There is no such rule.”
Shang Yechu's eyes darted around. "What if I encounter danger? For example, what if I suddenly run into some thug and have to defeat him to be safe? A combat strength of less than 10 points won't save my life."
103 paused, then said reluctantly, "According to the regulations, the system can forcibly increase your combat power in this situation. But what you're describing is an extremely rare case, with a very low probability of happening."
Shang Yechu's eyes lit up, selectively ignoring the second half of the sentence: "Forced elevation? Freebie?"
“How could that be?” 103 said coldly. “Of course, there will be a severe price to pay. Your body will be weak for a long time, bedridden, unable to eat or drink. But at the same time, you must make up for the increased combat power with 1.5 times your body weight within a month, otherwise—”
"Otherwise what?"
"You'll die, or you'll be half-dead." 103 said slowly and deliberately, "The system will forcibly drain your weight on the 31st day to make up for it."
103's tone was cold and authoritative: "Assuming you exchanged 70 points of combat power, that's 1.5 times your weight, or 105 kilograms. Even if you eat day and night, you can't eat that much. In other words, on the 31st day, you will be drained of tens of kilograms in one go, physically turning you into a dried-up corpse."
Shang Yechu mentally moved her fingers and added this method to the shortlist.
After a long period of practice, Shang Yechu has gained a deep understanding of the system. He has even discovered some tricks of the trade.
For example, the system is called the "Weight Exchange System," but the criteria for determining what constitutes "weight" are very mechanical.
Logically speaking, food can only be considered part of a person's "weight" after it has been broken down into fat and flesh; otherwise, it is just some food residue stored in the stomach.
However, within the system, once something enters Shang Yechu's stomach, it becomes part of his "weight." During the exchange process, the contents of his stomach are first treated as excess weight and exchanged.
Shang Yechu once conducted an experiment. She measured her weight on the system panel down to the gram, and then held a mouthful of water in her mouth.
According to the system's assessment, Shang Yechu's weight did not change significantly while she was holding the water in her mouth. However, the moment she swallowed the water, her weight immediately increased by forty grams.
In other words, anything that "enters" Shang Yechu's body can be considered part of Shang Yechu's weight.
This was undoubtedly a huge loophole, and Shang Yechu discovered this artificial intelligence malfunction assessment a long time ago. She even tried to exploit the system's loophole by quickly exchanging the contents of her stomach after finishing a meal, and then immediately starting to eat the next meal as soon as her stomach was empty.
Theoretically, following this method, Shang Yechu could eat non-stop, like a perpetual motion machine, rapidly and continuously exchanging for numerical values. However, theory is just theory, and its practical application is fraught with difficulties.
Firstly, physiologically, Shang Yechu's teeth and stomach could not support this way of eating. Chewing for too long would strain her teeth and cheeks; and the food would disappear as soon as it appeared in her stomach and gastric acid was secreted, which also violates the body's natural processes.
Secondly, there was the psychological aspect. Shang Yechu quickly discovered that following this eating pattern would rapidly cause her to develop an aversion to all food, even a physiological aversion. Turning herself into anorexic was undoubtedly a short-sighted approach, so Shang Yechu quickly stopped trying it.
Finally, it was out of caution. Shang Yechu wasn't sure whether this judgment method was a bug or a reasonable judgment in accordance with the system rules. If it was the latter, that would be fine; if it was the former, and she became greedy and kept eating and exchanging without end, and eventually the system or something else discovered the anomaly and fixed the bug, then it would be a great loss.
There's a difference between being full at one meal and being full at every other meal. Therefore, Shang Yechu intentionally set her daily "weight" conversion range between one and two kilograms. Actually, that's already a lot—you know, for a normal person, gaining one pound a day is considered fast.
Actually, what Shang Yechu lacks most right now is not necessarily fighting prowess, but rather the ability to make fight scenes look good.
Filming for "Tianji Tower" is nearing its end, and casting for the second installment will not begin for at least another month.
Assuming Shang Yechu starts exchanging two martial arts points a day from today, he can reach more than 60 points after a month—that's enough.
However, if she only has fighting skills but lacks entertainment value, and all she does is punch the camera, even if she smashes the camera crane and the lens, Yi Tianzhao and the audience will not approve of her. At most, they will think she is delusional.
Shang Yechu sighed.
Shang Yechu washed her face, went out to finish the rest of the food, and then hastily ended the gathering. Li Yi was useless, and Sheng Wenzhi was useless to begin with. Being with these two was a complete waste of time.
Having already discarded his usefulness, Shang Yechu has set his sights on his next target.
