Suddenly Going Viral

"Logically speaking, after being hungry for so long, he should have been dizzy and weak, with his spirits utterly drained."

Viewers who had thought of this question posted their doubts in the Live Stream Room's comment section.

"But have you noticed? Although he's been sitting there the whole time, his expression is relaxed and natural. He even looks positively radiant, nothing like someone who's been starving for over a month."

Someone could not resist pulling up Yi Chen's physical data. The moment they saw it, they cried out in shock.

"Oh my god, look at his body data! After prolonged starvation, he should logically have low blood sugar, electrolyte imbalances, and declining bodily functions."

"But the scanned physical data shows that all his indicators are completely normal."

"Seriously? I don't know about the rest, but if someone sat still all day in strange positions like him for over a month, his muscles should at least have atrophied."

"Forget starving for over a month. If I went hungry for just one day, I'd be weak all over."

"This isn't scientific! Pull up his physical data from over a month ago and compare it with his current data."

"After starving for more than a month, his lung capacity, body fat percentage, basal metabolic rate... not only have all his physical indicators not declined, they've actually improved quite a bit."

"Judging from all his physical data, after starving for over a month, his physical fitness has not only failed to decline—it has actually improved by around twenty percent."

"This is too unbelievable!"

In the No. 10 Live Stream Room, more than a hundred people with obsessive-compulsive disorder were all dumbfounded.

Very soon, someone pulled up Yi Chen's daily physical data for closer examination and discovered in astonishment that the improvement in his physical indicators had come in stages.

During the first month, they had continuously declined.

But beginning ten days ago, after Yi Chen started writing and drawing on the wall, all his physical indicators had suddenly begun to rise at a slow pace.

Three days later, the rate of improvement abruptly doubled.

Three and a half days later, it accelerated by nearly another fifty percent.

What was going on?

Could deliberately keeping oneself in a state of long-term hunger improve physical fitness?

The viewers in the Live Stream Room were stunned by the conclusion they had drawn.

"No, no. Pull up the metabolic chart produced by the Scanner and take a look."

After studying it, someone finally discovered the key. "There's a stream of energy in the area below his lower abdomen, circulating within his body."

"This energy seems capable of drawing external energy particles into his body. Then, following the energy circulating inside him, they enter the area of his lower abdomen, repeating this cycle over and over."

"The reason his physical fitness can still improve despite his prolonged starvation is entirely because, while those external energy particles enter his body, a small portion of them gets absorbed by his body."

"It really is like that? How could external energy particles possibly be absorbed into the body?"

"Look more carefully. The energy in his body can even gradually transform external energy particles into the same kind of energy."

"I just don't know what the energy in his body is used for."

"It's incredibly useful! The more energy he has in his body, the faster it draws in external energy particles, and the more energy particles his body can absorb. That's also why his physical fitness improves in stages."

"Why do I feel like I've discovered some earth-shattering secret and witnessed a historic event?"

"Me too. I keep feeling that this Number Ten has come up with some major discovery."

The viewers in the Live Stream Room began to grow excited.

Simply sitting there could improve one's physical fitness. The only things capable of doing that were Genetic Serum and high-end massage equipment.

But Genetic Serum and high-end massage equipment were exorbitantly expensive, affordable only to the wealthy.

Yet this Number Ten had improved his physical fitness without any medicine or massage equipment whatsoever.

If others could imitate him, would that not mean ordinary people could improve their physical fitness as well?

And improve it rapidly, at that.

Two hundred, four hundred, eight hundred...

Countless viewers flooded into the No. 10 Live Stream Room, and the audience count began to climb by multiples.

Large numbers of media workers arrived after hearing the news, like flies that had caught the scent of carrion.

<Improving Physical Fitness Is Actually This Simple!>

<Genetic Serum and High-End Massage Equipment Are About to Suffer a Devastating Blow!>

A flood of eye-popping posts and videos began appearing across major self-media platforms.

News outlets also dispatched staff into the Live Stream Room to learn the details and consult relevant experts and scholars.

Before long, major news outlets began releasing related reports as well.

The most popular of them all was Velocity News Network's interview video.

Velocity News Network immediately invited more than a dozen experts and scholars to analyze the matter.

Top psychological experts, renowned Myriad Race Researchers, Human Potential Developers, linguists... and even a Metaphysics Master.

The dozen or so experts and scholars each voiced their own opinions, but their conclusions were almost unanimous.

A famous historian confirmed that thousands of years ago, before the Human Race had developed Warp Jump Technology and while it was still confined to one corner of Blue Star, there had once been a wave of efforts to enhance the abilities of the human body itself.

Superpowers, magic, martial arts, witchcraft... a hundred schools contended in dazzling profusion.

But the facts proved that only a tiny minority could use such methods to strengthen or enhance themselves.

The proportion was less than one in a million.

Moreover, the ceiling was extremely low. Even after a lifetime, they were only somewhat stronger than ordinary people and completely incapable of resisting modern weapons.

With the birth of Warp Jump Technology, the Human Race broke free of Blue Star, occupied vast numbers of Life Planets and Resource Planets, and obtained immense resources. Technology experienced another great explosion, and Genetic Serum developed from various Ferocious Beasts burst onto the scene.

Even to this day, Genetic Serum had remained dominant for thousands of years, though it had gained a competitor called the Advanced Massager.

Yet neither Genetic Serum nor the Advanced Massager could be produced cheaply enough for widespread use.

Their effects might have been impressive, but they were still nowhere near enough to allow an individual human to reach the level of the Myriad Races, flying through the heavens and burrowing through the earth, destroying heaven and earth with a wave of the hand.

Now, with technological standards unable to make another breakthrough leap, the Human Race had gradually shifted from offense to defense in its struggle against the Myriad Races, while internal conflicts continued without end.

Many research institutions had already invested enormous sums into studying whether humans could enhance their own abilities like the Myriad Races.

Quite a few wealthy people had also secretly spent huge amounts establishing related secret laboratories.

Because life was one of the universe's greatest taboos, no matter how researchers studied it, clones could never truly equal real humans.

Memories were not souls. Implanting memories into a clone's brain would cause deviations in emotion, thought, and personality.

The wealthy wanted to develop a method that would allow them to possess lifespans of thousands, even tens of thousands of years like those powerful beings among the Myriad Races, evolving into higher forms of humanity.

But all such research had produced negligible results.

The implication was clear: throughout human history, countless geniuses had emerged and vast amounts of manpower and wealth had been invested, yet there had still been no substantial gains to this day.

How could someone without any instruments or equipment, without any materials to reference, possibly achieve some major breakthrough in this field in just one month?

The other experts and scholars held similar views.

Human Potential Developers and linguists alike agreed that the words and drawings Yi Chen had carved onto the wall could indeed be considered an entirely new method of human enhancement.

But it was one hundred percent similar to the superpowers, martial arts, witchcraft, and such that had appeared in the past. Only a tiny minority could imitate it, and its upper limit was extremely low.

Furthermore, because Yi Chen belonged to the first generation of pioneers, blindly imitating him carried enormous risks.

In short, no one should imitate him.

First, it was difficult to learn. Second, it had no future. Third, it was dangerous.

Only some well-connected people in high society knew that the experts and scholars invited by Velocity News Network were not the only ones involved.

The experts and scholars invited by other news websites almost all had ties to pharmaceutical groups and medical equipment groups.

And quite a few pharmaceutical groups and medical equipment groups had contacted Interstellar Media Group, hoping to have the program canceled.

But Interstellar Media Group was equally deep-pocketed. It was rare for a public-service program to show signs of going viral, the perfect chance to polish the group's image. How could they simply cut it off at a word?
