Chapter 992 696: So Many Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, Who Could Finish Them All!
Removing the soft red satin stopper from the bottle, a familiar fragrance wafted out, quickly filling the room with its scent.
Li Zheng took a deep breath, feeling both body and mind relaxed: "Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill! And it's an entire bottle!"
He couldn't wait to pour all the pills out of the bottle; each pill was only the size of a pigeon egg, round and rolling everywhere.
Li Zheng counted them one by one: "Twenty pills!"
Much more than the most he had ever greedily hoped for!
Oh my!
Twenty pills!
How could anyone finish all these?
He eagerly picked up one, but stopped just before putting it in his mouth, asking Prelis' Eye in his mind: "Is it effective to take these Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills multiple times?"
He needed to be clear because if it's ineffective, wouldn't that be a waste?
[Depending on individual physiques, the number that can be consumed varies. With your physique, you can take one every five days, up to a maximum of five pills before reaching peak effectiveness and developing resistance, after which it won't work anymore.]
[Friendly reminder: The pill in your hand is the second one, you can take it now.]
One pill every five days, and I can still take four more!
Which means I have sixteen extra pills left, enough to fulfill the limit for three more people like me!
Doing the math…
Li Zheng rubbed his chin and pondered: "Twenty pills don't seem like a lot after all!"
With a plop.
He tossed the pill directly into his mouth, which melted into liquid and was swallowed down, the medicinal power quickly digested and partly absorbed by his body, spreading to all parts.
The lingering soreness throughout his body rapidly faded away to an almost imperceptible level.
Li Zheng squinted comfortably: "It seems after consuming one Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, my digestive capability for these pills has improved because I didn't feel a thing when I took my first one."
He then picked up another pill and handed it to Mirel: "Here, take it."
Mirel gazed at the pill in his hand, her eyes flickering a few times, thinking it was more important for Li Zheng, she refused: "You should take it yourself, as long as you're well, I'm content."
"Take it when I give it to you." Li Zheng directly pushed the pill into her mouth: "I can only take five in total; I've already had one, and with the one just now, I have three more left. Once you reach the maximum of five, resistance will develop and taking more will be ineffective, perhaps even harmful."
After he explained this, Mirel realized that the pill in her mouth melted upon contact with water; it had already become a mouthful of liquid, so spitting it out would just be a waste, and she swallowed it down.
Li Zheng watched her, waiting a moment, and asked: "Do you feel anything?"
Mirel carefully sensed it and shook her head: "Not a thing."
As if she had just swallowed a gulp of water earlier.
"Hmm." Li Zheng nodded: "It seems the first one is always like that, and from the second one onward, the absorption rate speeds up greatly."
At the same time, he asked Old Prel in his mind how many Mirel could take.
The conclusion was four.
Not sure if it's only Mirel who could take four, or if it's the entire Enchanting Demon Race limited to that.
After all, Mirel is an accelerated-matured member of the Enchanting Demon Race, not naturally grown to adulthood, and it's uncertain if the maturing process had any unknown effects on her.
"Your Enchanting Demon physique differs from mine; your limit is four." Li Zheng put all the remaining Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills back into the small bottle and stored them in his capsule: "From now on, every five days, we'll each take one Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill. Our physiques will improve significantly, and you'll quickly adapt to the high-magnitude gravity environment."
"Mm." Mirel nodded, her sparkling eyes watching Li Zheng, smiling slightly at the corners of her lips: "You seem much better now, don't let good times slip by, and don't miss any important tasks!"
With that, she flipped herself onto Jing.
Li Zheng resisted spiritedly: "Come on then, who's afraid of whom?!"
The rest of the scene skips ahead to the next day.
Rothschild, as expected by Feng Yue, arrived at the Gravity Research Institute and heard that Li Zheng had already returned. He came to visit immediately.
He knocked on the door when Li Zheng and Mirel hadn't gotten up yet…
Li Zheng glanced at the time, already past ten in the morning.
The antics last night were quite intense, plus he still hadn't extracted a Treasure Chest.
He got up and dressed, letting Mirel go wash up first while he went to open the door.
"I heard from Feng Yue that you were injured and needed to rest?" Rothschild looked him over with concern, glancing him up and down but finding no obvious wounds: "Were your internal organs hurt? Should we get a full examination? I know a few skilled old doctors who can prescribe something for you?"
Clearly, in the days Li Zheng was absent, Rothschild had been worried sick.
Li Zheng chuckled: "Actually, I'm pretty much fine now. After stabilizing today, I can continue training at the research institute tomorrow."
"Ah? Tomorrow?" Rothschild frowned and adjusted his slipping glasses: "So long…"
As a fervent researcher, he didn't want to waste even a second.
"Isn't even that long enough?" Mirel poked her head out from the bathroom, her mouth full of toothpaste foam: "I was actually going to let him rest for two days and then go back to training at the research institute the day after tomorrow. If you think tomorrow is too long, how about he rests for two more days, then the day after tomorrow?"
This blunt statement was clearly a harsh, merciless threat!
Rothschild was at a loss, not daring to offend either of them, finally compromising: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow, for sure! Be there!"
Seeing his pitifully pleading look, Li Zheng laughed and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'll definitely be there tomorrow."
After eating that Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill last night and the night's activity promoting digestion, the effects of the pill had long been absorbed, and he was already fully recovered.
But Mirel was still worried and firmly insisted that Li Zheng take another day off.
"Deal!" Rothschild was afraid to say another word, lest Mirel indeed insist on postponing Li Zheng's return, so he quickly scurried away.
Li Zheng helplessly shook his head, closed the door, and dragged Mirel into the bathroom to wash off the sweat from last night's activities.
Three hours later, the two of them strolled hand in hand down Block 375.
"From now on, once I enter the Gravity Room, I won't have much time to go shopping with you." Li Zheng walked with Mirel on the street: "This time, it's uncertain how long the training will last, maybe twenty days, maybe one to two months. Today, I'll accompany you properly, and anything you want to buy, just let me know."
"Mm!" Mirel smiled sweetly, showing that Li Zheng caring about spending time shopping with her meant a lot. Otherwise, he could have easily ignored her request and immediately gone back to the research institute to resume training today.
"There are indeed a few things I want to buy, come with me!"
Mirel tugged Li Zheng along, jogging toward a shop she had noticed earlier, buying several sets of different styles of sexy lingerie.
Then they didn't shop around much more, heading straight home to spend hours trying on each set before stopping.
Li Zheng worked up a sweat, feeling completely relaxed and refreshed.
He took a quick shower, returned, and sat at the edge of the bed, laying his hand on Mirel: "Go wash your hands quickly; we still have a Treasure Chest to open."
