Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 961 669: The Price of Perfect Genes

"Why did you come in here too?"

Li Zheng looked at Mirel who was sitting cross-legged beside him.

Mirel smiled sweetly, "I came in to keep you company."

The Gravity Room is rented as a whole, without limiting the number of users, so Mirel could also enter without paying extra.

"If you can't hold on, go out first."

Speaking, Li Zheng took off the Overweight Necklace from his neck and put it on Mirel: "You can turn it on daily when you go out, but don't turn it on now."

"Okay." Mirel touched the necklace, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

At this moment, Rothschild's voice came from the room: "Ready? I'll start increasing the gravity once you're prepared."

The Gravity Room is divided into two areas, one is the Gravity Generation Field where Li Zheng is, and the other is the control room next door. At this time, Rothschild and Feng Yue are in the control room watching Li Zheng, waiting for him to get ready.

Li Zheng took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready, go ahead."

"Let's start with a 1.5 times standard gravity coefficient first. If you can't hold on, give me a signal, and I'll stop immediately," Rothschild reminded, pressing several buttons on the control panel in front of him.

Buzz~

A buzzing sound seemed to resonate within the Gravity Generation Field, and Li Zheng felt his blood being drawn downwards, sinking a bit to the lower body.

But soon it returned to normal flow.

After all, he had long been accustomed to a tenfold gravity environment; this was merely to cooperate with Rothschild in gradually collecting data.

However, Mirel's state was a bit worse, her pretty face turned pale, and it took two minutes for her color to return.

"Can you handle it?" Li Zheng was concerned, asking, "Do you need some time to adapt?"

"No need." Mirel frowned slightly, "I've almost adapted."

"Alright." Li Zheng said, "Increase it again."

Rothschild quickly operated, collecting the data changes on the two people's bodies, and then gradually increased the gravity coefficient: "2.0 times!"

Five minutes later.

"2.5 times!"

Fifteen minutes later.

"3.0 times!"

Mirel's adaptation time grew longer and longer, and by the time it reached three times gravity, her body swayed slightly, her vision feeling somewhat darkened.

This was due to the blood settling in the body, causing brief blindness from lack of blood in the eyes.

Rothschild furrowed his brow, pushed his glasses, "Miss Mirel, your heart is relatively weak, threefold gravity is already your limit in a short time, I suggest you first exit the Gravity Generation Field to avoid accidents."

Li Zheng also showed concern, "You should go out first, adapt to lower gravity with the Overweight Necklace, then come back to the Gravity Room once you've fully adapted to tenfold gravity."

Mirel bit her lip, not wanting to exit like this, but seeing Li Zheng's worried gaze, she finally abandoned her stubbornness, slowly stood up, and step by step moved out of the Gravity Generation Field.

Once she went out, Li Zheng exhaled and said, "Continue."

The increase in gravity coefficient came quickly, reaching ten times within half an hour.

This was also the maximum gravity Li Zheng could currently withstand.

"Blood flow rate decreased by 18%, internal organ pressure increased by 20%, bone density..." Rothschild read one data after another from the vital sign monitor, recording them, his face showing surprise when he spoke to Feng Yue: "His condition is surprisingly excellent, even better than yours when you lived in a tenfold gravity environment for a month!"

"What?!" Feng Yue was astonished upon hearing this: "Judging by his race, he should be a new generation player right? This generation of players has been in the Matrix for less than two months, how did he manage that?"

"I just saw him hand that lady a necklace, mentioning the tenfold gravity." Rothschild pondered, "Who has the ability to condense a tenfold Gravity Generator into such a small size?"

Feng Yue looked at the display screen, "Regardless of whether there's equipment assistance, to completely adapt to tenfold gravity in less than two months... Unless he enhanced his genes to a perfect level with a Genetic Potion."

"We can just ask." Rothschild opened the communicator and asked, "Mr. Li Zheng, have you used a Genetic Potion?"

Such matters are not confidential; it could be easily verified with a bit of body tissue.

Li Zheng did not hide it: "I indeed used it."

"That settles it." Rothschild showed regret: "It's a pity, using a Genetic Potion can create perfect genes, greatly enhancing body qualities in a short time. But because of this, further improvement through other means will become extremely difficult."

There aren't truly perfect things in this world; anything that can bring benefits must require some form of cost.

Playing on computer games might be enjoyable, but excessive playing could lead to kidney deficiency or even inflammation.

Eating can satiate hunger, but overeating can also kill a person.

A Genetic Potion can rapidly boost strength, but the cost is an overly complete Genetic Chain, making subsequent enhancement more difficult.

Equivalent to a premature exhaustion of future potential.

"No wonder he was able to enter the Outer City so quickly." Feng Yue frowned: "Who is so unscrupulous to bring something like a Genetic Potion into the Matrix? Isn't this harmful?"

Rothschild had no interest in this: "Many people do these kinds of things; it's not unprecedented, and it's hard to control. Fortunately, this time it's just Genetic Potions entering the Matrix, without something more excessive, or else..."

Remembering several tragic events in history, Rothschild was fearful and said no more.

Feng Yue also felt the same and changed the topic: "Professor, what do you think is the maximum gravitational limit that Li Zheng can withstand today?"

Rothschild swiftly calculated Li Zheng's current data and concluded within three seconds: "No more than thirteen times, beyond that there's a risk of death."

Feng Yue nodded, "I think so too."

At this moment, Li Zheng had already risen from his cross-legged position, walking and bouncing within the Gravity Generation Field, performing various stretching exercises.

Seeing this, Rothschild and Feng Yue showed a look of surprise: "He surely intends to practice martial arts in an overweight state?"

Feng Yue immediately warned, "Pathfinder, please stop your dangerous acts right now, if you put too much strain on your heart, you could suddenly die in the Gravity Generation Field."

Huh?

Dangerous?

Exaggeration!

Li Zheng glanced sideways and said casually, "I often fight in a tenfold gravity environment, I'm long accustomed to it."

He thrust his two fingers forward, a sword light gleaming at the tips, causing the air to rumble as if it was pierced repeatedly.

With dozens of thrusts, he wasn't quite satisfied and said, "Increase it again, tenfold is still too little."

Rothschild and Feng Yue exchanged glances, having not encountered such a person ever since someone died from cardiac rupture due to overly vigorous movements in the Gravity Generation Field.

Although Feng Yue is said to withstand the highest gravity coefficient, he only dares to lie on the ground in such an environment without moving a step.

Not to mention standing up to run or jump.

Yet, today, someone came who not only bounces around inside with tenfold gravity but also wants to practice martial arts inside!?

If you're looking for death, this isn't the way to do it.
