In the single room, Zhao Cheng looked into the mirror.
In the mirror, there was a shriveled figure with gray beard and hair, wrinkles all over his face, and no energy.
It had been a long time since he had seen himself so clearly, but he couldn't help but feel enlightened.
In a trance, the once green youth is right in front of you, but in a blink of an eye, it is yesterday's flowers, and life seems to be coming to an end.
He is very old.
However, he felt it was time to make a change.
So, he picked up the razor on the basin and shaved off his beard first. As for the long hair, he cut it directly to the neck and tied it into a high ponytail.
When he was homeless before, he always took care of his hair like this. Longer hair can keep you warm and make it less likely to get sick.
After this act of kindness, he looked much younger in the mirror, but it was still difficult to cover up the aging caused by the loss of life.
After that, Zhao Cheng took a bath again. He couldn't remember the last time he took a bath.
In fact, after being teleported, he was clean, and taking a shower at this moment was more of a habit, or a sense of ritual, to welcome a new life.
Maybe, he will get what he wants, maybe, he will die in the game tomorrow, but no matter what, he has embarked on a completely different trajectory from before.
After taking a shower and drying his hair, Zhao Cheng wore pajamas and then used the No. 27 Gene Enhancer on the bedroom table without hesitation.
The so-called use does not mean taking it orally or injecting it, but loading the prop card into the watch and clicking to use it.
When the prop was used, Zhao Cheng immediately felt a warm current pouring into his body from the position of the watch, and quickly flowed to his whole body.
In this comfortable feeling, he fell into a deep sleep.
Along with his steady breathing, his body began to heat up and turned red, as if it was about to be cooked. At the same time, his heart beat faster and faster, and every time he beat,
Blood filled with nutrients is pumped throughout the body.
During this process, his cells divided and reorganized crazily, and his entire body grew stronger at an extreme speed.
Visible to the naked eye, his shriveled flesh and blood became plump, his wrinkled skin became moist and shiny, and the muscle lines on his body became more and more obvious. Even his height was increasing.
Genetic Agent No. 27 actually has two options. One is that most of its effects are used to repair cell damage and extend lifespan, while the other is to further squeeze the potential of cells.
Burn the little life in a more violent way in exchange for powerful power.
Zhao Cheng naturally chose the second option.
He even seriously suspected that this choice was intentional by the program team for better program effects.
Because, before the first round starts, he can withdraw. Even if he directly chooses to give up the program after strengthening, the program team will not take back what was given to him.
But the program team must have known that there was no way he would choose to give up.
The reason why he was given the choice was simply to better establish his character.
While the genetic modification was in progress, Zhao Ben should have fallen into the deepest sleep, but instead, he entered a dream.
In the dream, the wind was beautiful and the sun was shining, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Then, he saw Zhao Xiaoxiang, but for some reason, Zhao Xiaoxiang looked at him like he was looking at garbage.
"Zhao Cheng, do you know that your purity is too low!"
"Even if I tried my best to carry you away, I couldn't carry you away at all, so I kept getting beaten. You let me down very much."
Zhao Xiaoxiang issued a soul question.
"But I have nothing left..."
Zhao Cheng said subconsciously that he actually didn't know what he was talking about.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you still have life?!"
"Can this be called having nothing?!"
Zhao Xiaoxiang said the words of tiger and wolf.
"I'm telling you, human beings have their limits after all, so it's better not to be a human being."
Zhao Xiaoxiang said.
"Then what do I do?!"
Zhao Cheng became more and more confused.
"Personally, I would rather you become a demon god, but there seems to be no hope at the moment. So, let's do natural disasters. We will give this world the shock of hundreds of millions of natural disasters!"
Zhao Xiaoxiang raised his fist high.
"Then what should I do?"
Zhao Cheng asked, he in the dream had an IQ close to that of a paramecium.
"Well..., I will first teach you a breathing method for burning life. This is tailor-made for you. It is called the cosmic breathing method. It is designed to imitate the Big Bang. The life you burn is the universe.
The flash of the big explosion burns more violently, the more powerful it is!"
"Come on, do it with me!"
"..."
"Can't it burn?"
"Didn't you keep saying you wanted to protect me?"
"What, you said human life is only 100%?"
"Kouhu, how can humans be so fragile? As long as you have faith, you can burn 1000% of your life."
"You ask me where the extra 900% comes from?"
"Of course faith!"
"A thin dog like you can't protect me!"
…
When Zhao Cheng woke up, he looked at the clock on the wall and found that only one hour had passed.
At the same time, he also felt the changes in his body. His heart was beating slowly, full of strength, and every cell in his body seemed to be burning and filled with explosive power.
He didn't get up, but directly exerted force. His whole body bounced off the bed, and then stood firmly on the ground.
He felt as if his body had become some kind of sophisticated machine, and every part was so powerful and so harmonious and unified.
"Slender dog?"
In the bathroom, Zhao Cheng looked at himself in the mirror and saw a completely different version of himself. He didn't know why he suddenly had such a rhetorical question.
The streamlined muscle lines look like a cheetah. As for his face, it is fixed at the age of thirty, with sharp edges and corners, showing a masculine temperament. As for the tied up hair, it is still gray.
The color, on the contrary, adds a little more charm.
After being strengthened, he now looks more like a wanderer.
Subconsciously, Zhao Cheng breathed according to a strange rhythm. For a moment, he felt that the burning speed of his cells had increased more than ten times. His entire body had swelled, and the blood vessels on the surface of his skin bulged, and his eyes
It became even more congested and turned red.
"What's this?!"
Zhao Cheng was a little surprised that this change was not included in the instructions for using the genetic medicine.
Zhao Cheng looked at the watch in his hand and clicked on his personal status, only to find that it contained an ability called Life Burning. In the ability description, it was said that the potion activated his hidden talent.
I just don't know why, Zhao Cheng always feels that he seems to have forgotten something.
