Chapter 1 Exhaustion

The sun was setting in the west. More than ten hours had passed since Shi Feng had fallen into slumber.

*Beep beep beep…*

The virtual reality pod in the bedroom continued to emit warning sounds.

The nutrient solution inside the virtual reality pod was now completely empty.

After sounding for a while, the pod's lid suddenly opened.

"So tired." Shi Feng opened his eyes and reluctantly climbed out of the virtual reality pod. He glanced at the time. "No way, I actually slept for eighteen hours!"

This time, his spirit had broken through the limit again, but it wasn't as exaggerated as the first time. Still, even after resting until now, he hadn't recovered…

"What exactly is going on?"

After getting up, Shi Feng felt an indescribable weakness all over his body. Even the nutrient solution that had been refilled just the day before yesterday was completely gone.

A full tank of nutrient solution was supposed to last a player for fifteen days. Last time, there was still some left, but now it was completely empty…

However, compared to the nutrient solution running out, Shi Feng was even more incredulous about his current physical condition. Not only was his body extremely weak, but he also had a hunger he had never experienced before, as if he couldn't wait to swallow a cow whole.

Although Shi Feng couldn't figure out what was going on, he knew that if he didn't replenish his nutrition, he might faint from hunger.

Immediately, Shi Feng took out the two bottles of S-grade nutrient potions he had prepared for his parents from the refrigerator.

Shi Feng could feel that this hunger wasn't coming from his stomach, but from his body's craving for energy. Eating food alone wouldn't work; he needed to replenish the energy of his entire body's cells. S-grade nutrient potions were the best choice.

He opened a bottle and gulped down the S-grade nutrient potion.

The originally cold S-grade nutrient potion turned into a warm current upon entering his intestines, nourishing his entire body as it flowed with his blood.

Less than five minutes after drinking it, Shi Feng felt much better. His spirit had recovered a lot, and his body was no longer trembling.

The value of one million credits was no joke.

But it didn't last long. The hunger surged into his brain again, like a wolf starved for three days that couldn't be satisfied with a single bite of meat. The hunger was even more intense than before.

"One bottle isn't enough?" Shi Feng was speechless.

One battle cost him not only one S-grade nutrient potion, but now he had to sacrifice another.

He had no choice.

Shi Feng could only open the last bottle of S-grade nutrient potion and drink it down as well.

Normally, one shouldn't drink a second bottle of S-grade nutrient potion within three to five days, because the energy contained within was too abundant for the body to absorb. It could even harm oneself due to overnutrition.

Shi Feng felt a pang of pain when he downed the second bottle.

One bottle cost one million credits, and even if you had the money, you couldn't buy it.

Even as the Guild Leader of Youying in his past life, he couldn't drink one bottle a month. Now he was drinking two bottles a day and still didn't feel anything. If others knew, they would definitely despise him as a spendthrift.

But S-grade nutrient potions were indeed powerful. After drinking two bottles and resting for a few minutes, Shi Feng finally felt no more fatigue, and his body returned to normal. Afterward, Shi Feng drank more than a dozen bottles of A-grade nutrient potions to fully recover…

"Is it my imagination?"

After fully recovering, Shi Feng suddenly realized that his five senses were more acute than before. He could now hear the chirping of birds outside, which he couldn't hear before.

In addition to the chirping of birds outside, Shi Feng looked at his room and felt a clarity he had never experienced before. His thinking had also broadened considerably.

"Could it be that my repeated breakthroughs of my mental limit have improved the activity of my brain?" Shi Feng was overjoyed.

He had thought countless times about strengthening his body, increasing blood supply to his brain, and providing various nutrients to develop his brain's potential and increase its activity, so that he could better make a name for himself in God's Domain.

Now he had suddenly broken through!

The human brain has always been a mysterious field. In the past, no matter how powerful ordinary people were, the potential of their brain wouldn't exceed 10%. But with the development of technology, it has now become possible. However, developing the brain's potential is extremely difficult; it's not something that can be improved just by wanting to.

In his past life, countless people tried their best but couldn't improve it. Countless people spent a lot of money to improve it by just a tiny bit, and they all felt like they had made a great profit.

While the brain activity increases, the control over the body will also increase substantially.

There are many talented players in God's Domain who can be said to be naturally gifted. Why are these geniuses better than ordinary players?

It is because their brain activity exceeds the normal value, and their control over the body in the game exceeds that of ordinary players. Actions that ordinary players can't do, these geniuses can do.

Like the Teng Snake that Shi Feng encountered, he was a naturally gifted genius with nerve reflex speed that others couldn't match.

But Shi Feng had accidentally broken through that limit. How could Shi Feng not be excited?

Although the improvement wasn't much, it showed Shi Feng a path.

It was a sunny avenue leading straight to the peak of God's Domain.

"It seems I need to prepare more S-grade nutrient potions in the future." Shi Feng sighed as he recalled the hunger his brain had previously transmitted.

After the mental strength breaks through the limit, the brain's recovery naturally requires a huge amount of energy. He was lucky to have enough S-grade nutrient potions to allow him to break through. If he didn't have S-grade nutrient potions, he would probably have to go to the hospital for a while.

Moreover, even after recuperating in the hospital, he wouldn't necessarily be able to improve brain activity and develop the brain's potential.

Having thought of a way to improve brain activity, Shi Feng became even more eager for S-grade nutrient potions.

Only now did Shi Feng understand why so many first-rate guilds and super guilds in his previous life acquired S-grade nutrient potions in large quantities. It was probably for cultivating peak experts. He had pitifully thought that S-grade nutrient potions were for enhancing physical fitness.

*Ding ding ding…*

Shi Feng's optical brain watch suddenly rang. The caller was Xiao Yu, the chairman of Beidou Fitness Center.

"Master Shi Feng, I have already arranged the martial arts competition. The specific time is set for 10 a.m. two days later. I don't know what you think? If it's not possible, I can postpone it for another two or three days." Xiao Yu asked.

"Two days later is fine." Shi Feng was in a very good mood. Hearing Xiao Yu say this, he was even happier. He actually felt that the time was a bit late.

The last two bottles of S-grade nutrient potions were already used up. As long as he won the competition, he would not only get five virtual reality pods, but also 15 bottles of S-grade nutrient potions.

"I have already transmitted the other party's information to your optical brain space. However, that person is very mysterious. I don't have much information collected here. There are only a few of his matches. Most of the matches are won with one move." Xiao Yu didn't expect Shi Feng to be nervous at all. He knew that Zhao Ruoxi had already told Shi Feng everything about the other party's strength. Shi Feng should know how powerful the other party is. Now, not only was he not nervous, but he was also impatient. It was really incomprehensible.

"I know, I will study it." Shi Feng nodded, "I have other things to do, so I will hang up first."

With that, Shi Feng hung up the communication.

After a period of rest, Shi Feng had fully recovered. He had slept for so long before, and there were still many things for him to deal with in God's Domain, so he naturally couldn't delay any longer. That's why Shi Feng was eager to end the call. He refilled the nutrient solution in the virtual reality pod, lay inside, and entered God's Domain again.
