There must be something wrong with me

This day.

The small restaurant after closing time.

After Zhang Feng locked the shop door, he looked at his own attributes.

Over two years, through some allocation and his own cultivation.

Zhang Feng saw that his Constitution had reached an astonishing 50.7!

This was the highest Constitution Zhang Feng possessed.

But his age had reached 42.

Zhang Feng could clearly feel his physical functions gradually weakening.

However.

During this time, Zhang Feng had read all the medical books he could find and had assimilated most of the knowledge of this world.

Using medical knowledge and practice methods.

Zhang Feng was confident he could extend his peak strength period by a few more years.

Besides that.

Zhang Feng had also deepened his understanding of meridians, realizing they are not opened arbitrarily.

For example, the 16 meridians of Hard Qigong have specific pathways, forming a certain balance and frequency resonance.

If imbalanced, practicing would harm the body, and in an overclocked state, could even lead to some physical function collapse.

Because in the past two years, Zhang Feng tried to open other meridians, indeed managing to open a few, but couldn’t form an ’effective link’ with the previous meridians.

And forcibly linking them would cause muscle tears.

Fortunately, even without linking them, they could still achieve some exercise effect.

Just not like Hard Qigong type Martial Arts that form a stronger explosive boost effect.

But as long as he could open them, Zhang Feng had ideas.

’Now I have Hard Qigong 16, Eight-Step Chasing Cicada 14, and Great Demon Subduing Fist 42, for a total of 72.

Plus 10 extra opened ones, making 82.’

At this moment, Zhang Feng lay on the restaurant table, closing his eyes to sum up,

’The human body has a total of 720, I now have opened 11% of them.

But effective overclocking only includes the 72 meridians of Hard Qigong and others.

It could also be called, 10% overclocking state.’

In his thoughts, Zhang Feng seemed to grasp something,

’But with just 10%, I’ve already reached a weight of 240 pounds, and haven’t reached the limit yet.

If I were to reach 100% overclocking, would I weigh a few tons?

And suppose my body size doesn’t change, yet my weight increases, would my entire body structure change?

Like becoming high-density alloy?’

Zhang Feng pondered again as he got off the table and paced back and forth in the room,

’But now I don’t know how to open the rest of the meridians, there aren’t many clues.

So, if I first increase my Constitution, let the body change, and get part of the answer after overclocking. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Couldn’t I reverse deduce part of the overclocking principle based on this partial answer?

Finally, using this principle, open the relevant part meridians?’

Zhang Feng thought over and over, feeling it was worth a try in certain situations.

For example, if there’s another ’baby world’.

Then selecting more ’digestion and absorption’ related entries, and finally seeing how heavy he can become without changing body size.

Or finding other Martial Arts with different meridians to learn from.

Or, if there are other practices, deepen his strength, and then deduce his idea of ’overclocking self-created cultivation technique.’

The more Zhang Feng thought, the more feasible it seemed, at least there were many paths.

The rest is to hold steady, then verify his conjectures step by step.

...

A month later.

Another month in the second year in this world.

Zhang Feng ushered in the last enhancement.

[1: Chinese cabbage X2]

[2: Asset improvement]

[3: 5% Constitution increase]

Zhang Feng first looked at 1, happiness doubled.

[Effect: After use, Constitution +1.1, and increases absorption ability by 10 grams]

Zhang Feng glanced at it, then looked at 2

[Effect: After selection, you will receive an item worth 100,000]

’This should be that, right?’ Zhang Feng thought of the previous ’settling down, opening a mid-range restaurant’ upon seeing this option.

This option should be prepared for that task.

For example, if it’s not completed now, or bankrupt.

Then the 100,000 coming in might bring him back to life.

Considered a safety net.

Zhang Feng looked at this option and chose happiness doubled.

...

Whew—

Drizzling rain, another half a year later.

Late at night.

The back kitchen of the small restaurant.

Zhang Feng was making noodles.

Big Uncle was peeling garlic.

"Brother Zhang, is it enough to eat?" Big Uncle peeled several heads of garlic, more than forty cloves.

"That’s too much." Zhang Feng brought up the noodles, "If it can’t be finished, you can take the leftovers home; my restaurant doesn’t store overnight garlic."

"Haha, alright!" Big Uncle handed Zhang Feng a pair of chopsticks, "The meeting is tomorrow, all the bosses have to go to the Qin Bang’s hotel, how does it sound?"

Every year the bosses on the river hold a meeting, but the meeting location rotates.

And in nearly three years, Zhang Feng had attended two meetings, just sitting like Maitreya Buddha.

Taking care of nothing, just happily listening.

But the people in the business also knew not to mess with Zhang Feng.

Because Mantis Finch and Big Uncle respected Zhang Feng greatly.

Although they didn’t know why, they wouldn’t be idle and provoke Zhang Feng.

"Let’s not talk about it."

At this moment, Zhang Feng looked at the clock on the wall, "Wait for Mantis, he should be here soon."

Every time before the bosses on the river hold a meeting, the three of Zhang Feng would gather briefly.

It’s now become a habit.

"Here he comes!"

About a minute later, the back door opened.

Mantis Finch shook off the rain on his body and looked at the two, "Sorry, got caught in traffic due to the rain, am I still in time for dinner?"

"In the pot." Zhang Feng pointed to the stove, "Eat as much as you want, there’s also chicken legs in the simmering pot."

"Got it!" Mantis Finch smiled as he grabbed a bowl to scoop food.

"Mantis boy, bring me a chicken leg too." Big Uncle called to him, then turned back to Zhang Feng, "Tomorrow’s meeting is not ordinary."

"How come?" Zhang Feng looked at him, "What’s happening this time?"

"There are some matters." Big Uncle said, "The boss of He Xing Bang passed away, his ’Left and Right Guardians’ are now in fierce contention, and they will certainly come together tomorrow."

"Right, I heard that too." Mantis Finch sat down beside Zhang Feng and the other with two large bowls of food, "Brother Zhang, who do you support? The Left Guardian of the He Xing Bang, or the Right Guardian?"

Saying this, Mantis Finch handed Big Uncle a chicken leg, "The chicken leg is yours. But as for whom I support, I listen to Brother Zhang."

"Listening to me means we don’t interfere." Zhang Feng ate his noodles, "Their family’s matters, let them solve it themselves."

"This time, it’s not that simple." Big Uncle knew also that Chef Zhang didn’t like meddling, but this was a big deal, "Their gang has the person you’re looking for."

"Who?" Zhang Feng paused his chopsticks and looked at Big Uncle, "Feidao?"

"Yes." Big Uncle nodded, "I just heard on the way here that the He Xing Bang’s Left Guardian recently recruited a very capable fighter, called Feidao. I heard he used to be a professional assassin."

"Is he coming tomorrow?" Zhang Feng inquired, "Does he know that I want to kill him?"

The fact that Zhang Feng was looking for Feidao was now known to many in the business.

"He knows you want to kill him." Big Uncle smiled at Zhang Feng, "But he’s still planning to come with the Left Guardian. Because the Left Guardian values him and wants to protect him. Just from the fact that the Left Guardian knows you’re after him, and still keeps hiding him, you can tell what the Left Guardian means.

So tomorrow’s meeting, the Left Guardian will certainly try to mediate.

Although the He Xing Bang is split now, he can still make it work.

Of course, mediating is one thing, he also wants to win you over, to have you stand on his side, and help him rise to power."

"This can be managed." Mantis Finch savored his chicken leg, mouth oily, "Have him hand over Feidao in exchange for the support of the three of us."

"Difficult." Big Uncle shook his head, "The Left Guardian is very protective; asking him to remove his excellent aide is impossible. On the contrary, just by suggesting it, we might draw his hostility, thinking we have a conspiracy with the Right Guardian."

"Then what to do?" Mantis Finch looked at Zhang Feng, "Take him by force?"

"We’ll see, the He Xing Bang’s influence is relatively large." Big Uncle considered and said, "Otherwise, let’s first see how he plans to mediate? Listen to his terms?"

"Again, I say, whoever becomes the boss is none of my business." Zhang Feng continued eating noodles, "But this person, if he keeps hiding, I really can’t find.

But if he dares to come tomorrow.

His life is definitely mine, and no one can stop it."
