Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 994 698: Rapid Progress, 15 Times Gravity!

"The adaptive combat suit will affect data collection."

Li Zheng grabbed the collar of the undershirt and lifted it up, pulling the soft combat suit out entirely from the jacket collar, restoring it to the state it was in when first taken out of the treasure chest, without leaving a single wrinkle.

"This is kind of interesting."

Li Zheng suddenly realized that this combat suit seemed never to wear out, as if he was wearing new clothes every day.

After taking off the combat suit, the data recording screen began to flicker, with numbers constantly changing. Rothschild stared at it for a while, a look of shock in his eyes: "This! Why is the data changing so drastically?"

He was doubtful and wanted to confirm again, saying into the communicator: "The plan has changed. Be ready; the gravity coefficient this time may exceed thirteen times."

"Uh?" Li Zheng couldn't see his own data and was puzzled for a moment. He put the combat suit back into the capsule and nodded: "Okay."

In the next second, the gravity field was reactivated. Li Zheng sat down accordingly, feeling the subtle changes in his body after the gravity amplification.

Every cell in the body seemed to be exerting strength under the gravity amplification, slowly resisting the gravity while accelerating the absorption of the residual power of the bone marrow cleansing pill within the body.

With each absorption of the pill's efficacy, there appeared to be some special changes in the depths of those cells, making the body more diverse, able to adapt more quickly to different environments.

Gradually, the gravity increased to twelve times, and the speed of absorbing the pill's power was pushed to its limit.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Li Zheng vaguely felt like he heard a sucking sound, like the noise of cells gulping down and digesting the bone marrow cleansing pill.

Suddenly, the sucking noise vanished into thin air, and the sensation of cells absorbing the efficacy also ceased.

"It seems like the bone marrow cleansing pill I took last night has been completely digested, with no efficacy left," Li Zheng thought to himself. Having experienced it once, he was now proficient in sensing these changes in his body, clearly perceiving the variations in the efficacy within.

In the control room, Professor Rothschild watched the monitored data on the screen, astounded: "It's terrifying! In just half an hour, his body data has doubled!"

This phenomenon had never occurred in previous research.

At this moment, the gravity increased to thirteen times, the maximum gravity left by Li Zheng when he left the 375th district to pick up Xiao Ying. He had already gotten used to it to some extent, able to move freely under thirteen times gravity.

Li Zheng moved his hands and feet without too much pressure, stood up from his sitting position, walked a few steps, and attempted to jump a few times, which felt very easy.

It was as if the thirteen times gravity did not exist at all. He controlled every muscle and fiber in his body perfectly, without even drooping an eyelid.

"It's already thirteen times gravity..." Li Zheng thought to himself as he walked back and forth inside the gravity field, "This significant change, is it purely the effect of the cleansing pill or partly due to my previous physical exertion?"

He thought it over and concluded that the result was likely a combination of both.

"Next, I will continue increasing the gravity coefficient until your limit is reached. Stay where you are and avoid moving to prevent any accidents," Rothschild's voice came through the communicator.

Li Zheng stopped moving, sat down cross-legged once more, and waited for higher levels of gravity.

Rothschild quickly operated, increasing the gravity by another 0.5 times, keeping a close eye on the monitored data on the screen, not missing a minute change.

"How does it feel?" he asked Li Zheng.

Li Zheng closed his eyes and then opened them: "More!"

Gravity amplification, fourteen times!

Li Zheng: "More!"

Fourteen and a half times!

Li Zheng: "Keep going!"

Feng Yue, listening to the voice over the communicator, was dumbfounded: "What exactly has the Pathfinder been through these days? The progress is too fast, isn't it?!"

A full two times increase in gravity amplification!

If this had happened before he left, it would have taken at least a month to adapt, right?

Why did it suddenly become so easy?

Rothschild increased the gravity to fifteen times, quickly calculating the data displayed by Li Zheng at that moment: "Your body is already at its limit. It seems fifteen times is the best you can achieve for now."

Li Zheng lay on the ground, his chest compressed, breathing laboriously.

The muscles, bones, blood, viscera, every most vulnerable part of his body sent out strong discomfort, a protest coming from the body itself.

When the protest was ineffective, these most fragile tissues began to change themselves, adapting to the discomfort in reverse.

The gravity maintained at fifteen times, with Li Zheng lying on the ground the whole time, feeling his body slowly adapting bit by bit.

By the evening, he could already support himself into a sitting position.

Rothschild was stunned: "This!!!! His adaptiveness has further increased!!"

Immediately, he was full of regret: "What a pity!! I should have been accompanying him when he went for matters! I missed some crucial data!!!"

Rothschild pounded his chest in frustration, then pointed to Feng Yue: "Next time he goes out, follow him and make sure to record his daily schedule, what he did, ate, and who he met! This is vital for our research!"

If it weren't unrealistic, he would have Feng Yue stay with Li Zheng even when sleeping, monitoring his sleep data.

"Professor, today's training is over for now," came Li Zheng's voice: "We'll continue tomorrow."

"Alright."

Rothschild did not dare to delay, immediately proceeding to lower the gravity coefficient, then went to the gravity field door to wait for Li Zheng to come out.

Mirel stood at the gravity field entrance the entire time without taking a step away. She had been using the overweight necklace these days and could now move freely in a four-times-gravity environment.

But there was still a massive gap to fifteen times.

After half an hour, the interior of the gravity field calmed completely, and Li Zheng walked out with light steps.

Before Mirel could speak, Rothschild asked first: "What have you been through these days? Can you tell me in detail? Of course, I'm not trying to pry into your privacy, just some... some..."

He was too anxious, unable to organize his words for a moment.

Feng Yue explained for him: "The professor means, have you experienced anything potentially transformative over these days, or have you been under significant pressure."

"Yes, yes, that's about right!" Rothschild nodded vigorously, adjusting his slipping glasses, gazing intently at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng thought for a moment, then stated truthfully: "I went to the Gluttony Sin Domain, where I was chased by thousands of Purple-Level twisted creatures..."

He selectively told the two what could be shared.

Such as being pursued by twisted creatures, crazily taxing himself with Spiritual Power to maintain Genetic Force...

"Wait!"

Upon hearing the key point, Rothschild hurriedly exclaimed: "What do you mean by using Spiritual Power to tax yourself?"

His sharp intuition detected that this might just be one of the reasons behind Li Zheng's rapid progress these past few days.
