The next morning, Gao Ang woke up because he was hungry.
For the first time since the 18th, he felt so hungry, his stomach felt empty, and he had a gut feeling that he could eat a whole cow.
The hunger was only relieved after rolling in the sun for a while.
Lying on the recliner, Gao Feng opened his notebook and began to record new content.
[June 20, sunny day.
I had incredible luck playing games last night, possibly related to the physical mutation caused by the white sphere. (Does it affect one's luck?)
After playing for several hours, I felt hungry for the first time, and my head was spinning. I felt completely drained, as if my body had been hollowed out...
I feel much better after being exposed to sunlight.
Speculation: The body undergoes mutation, and the unknown substances produced through photosynthesis not only have a repairing effect on the body but also affect personal luck.
However, luck will run out, and after exceeding a certain limit, you may experience exhaustion. (Use with caution; effects in other areas are unknown and require further verification.)
In addition, I consumed 3L of mineral water yesterday and had one bowel movement and one urination, but the amount of excretion was less than expected.
Speculation: The digestive organs are strengthened, allowing for the maximum absorption of water and other useful substances.
The reason for this speculation regarding the digestive organs is entirely Gao Yuan's subjective conjecture.
An adult needs only about 1,000 milliliters of water per day, while an average person needs to ingest at least 2,500 milliliters of water per day. A large portion of this water, up to 1,500 milliliters, will be excreted after circulating through the body.
In other words, about three-fifths of the intake will be ineffectively absorbed.
He absorbed 3000 ml of fluid and then urinated, which was at most about 200 ml.
This means that his body completely absorbed up to 2800 milliliters of water, which is nearly three times the volume of an average person.
The problem is that he didn't sweat or excrete much, which completely violates the law of conservation of energy.
He also weighed himself, and in the past two days, his weight has not only not increased but has even decreased.
After flipping through a few pages of his diary, Gao Ang found the table of height and weight and decided to record the data again.
On June 19th, her height was 183 cm and her weight was 91 kg.
On June 20th, her height was 183.3 cm and her weight was 90 kg.
In one day, my height increased by 0.3 centimeters, and my weight decreased by 1 kilogram...
The weight loss was within Gao Long's expectations; he could clearly feel that his belly and "spare tire" were smaller than before.
Especially the elastic-waisted pants I bought before, they're starting to slip down, almost covering my buttocks.
The fat on my stomach and waist has decreased significantly; logically, it shouldn't only weigh one kilogram.
Gao Long speculates that after his body mutated, the unwanted fat was converted into muscle tissue to fill in areas such as his chest muscles. Meanwhile, some completely unnecessary energy substances were removed from his body through excretion or other means.
He doesn't know the exact method yet; it could be through respiration or some other channel.
When he took a shower in the morning, he noticed that there was a lot more dirt on his body than before. Although it wasn't visible on the surface, when he scrubbed, he could easily remove clumps of oily substances that were sticky and disgusting.
He could clearly see in the mirror that his biceps and pectoralis major muscles were noticeably more prominent than before, and even the abdominal muscles he had always longed for were beginning to take shape.
A normal person should have six abdominal muscles, but he now has two... You know, before he only had one abdominal muscle.
To prove his guess, Gao Ang put down his diary and began his daily exercise routine.
He wanted to conduct a practical experiment to see if these newly formed muscle groups actually had any effect.
He only started to feel a little tired after doing 1, 2, 3... 150 push-ups.
He did 236 push-ups before stopping.
It's not that I can't continue, but that I'm scared by my own performance.
Undeterred, he continued doing squats and sit-ups...
The last time he did 50 push-ups, which was basically his limit. Now he can do more than 200, close to 300. His squats and sit-ups are about the same, and he can even do more.
After catching his breath, Gao Ang picked up his pen and wrote a few more lines in his diary: New effects of the body mutation: Significantly improves physical condition and has a shaping effect; Endurance is greatly enhanced, with an estimated increase of more than 4 times.
As I write this, a thought flashes through my mind: if I could last 5 minutes before, could I last more than 20 minutes now? I'll have to try it out when I have some free time…
While basking in the sun, Gao Ang summarized some recent changes, as detailed below:
Night vision function, capable of capturing multiple wavelengths of light, specific frequencies unknown, while also improving visual acuity;
The photosynthetic function allows it to meet its nutritional needs for one day or even several days by consuming a small amount of water; however, the exact duration of this ability remains to be observed.
Luck boosts will consume unknown nutrients, so use with caution;
Its extremely strong self-healing ability is currently limited to physical trauma; other methods have not yet been tested.
Physical fitness has improved, with an increase of over 400%, and the subsequent effects need to be tracked and recorded;
The digestive tract has a very strong absorptive function, currently limited to water and ordinary food; other categories require further experimental observation.
...
As he wrote this, Gao Ang rested his chin on his pen, a sense of urgency stirring within him: Does self-healing only work on physical injuries? Would it still be effective against burns or chemical injuries—that is, magical damage in the traditional sense?
Once the idea took root, it grew stronger in his mind. He didn't consider himself a masochist, but the thought was actually quite tempting.
Furthermore, he has not yet conducted a deeper analysis and research on this self-healing ability, such as whether it involves bone mutations or other internal organ-level mutations.
If that's the case, then that would be fun.
He'd chop off a hand or a foot whenever he felt like it. Other magicians use props, but he didn't. He just chopped it off, provided it grew back, of course.
There are also those tricks involving throwing a copper coin into a pot of oil and then scooping it out with bare hands. This trick has been cracked; it simply lowers the boiling point of the oil in the pot.
If he were to perform this magic trick, he could use a real oil pan and test the temperature on the spot with a thermometer. For those who don't believe in such things, he could even fry dough sticks for them right there...
In that instant, a whole bunch of revenue-generating projects popped into Gao Yang's head.
Of course, these are all just his imagination. According to his first rule: the principle of secrecy, he would never show any difference in front of outsiders.
Action speaks louder than words.
Having made up his mind, he decided to start his experiments with burns.
