Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 57 A "Zero" Sister Fell From the Sky

Physical signs are a term used in physiology and medicine to refer to signs in the human body that have diagnostic significance.

It is the result of the combined efforts of the human nervous system, circulatory system, respiratory system, endocrine system and other physiological systems!
Now, Lu Mingfei can perform some degree of micro-management on it.

This is equivalent to him indirectly affecting all systems in the body!

Lu Mingfei blinked.

His "feelings" about his physical signs were quite peculiar; they weren't a series of data listed on paper or detailed visualizations, but rather a general "feeling."

Currently, this "feeling" is described as "hunger and fatigue".

That's normal; there's just too much data about the human body that can be categorized into physical characteristics.

There are twelve major physiological systems, each with dozens or even hundreds of observable signs. Listing them all would be a terrifying and despairing number!
Lu Mingfei felt he definitely couldn't handle it, at least not now.

His current knowledge base simply doesn't support him performing such detailed "micro-management," like "increasing the resting heart rate by 0.1 percentage points"... Putting aside everything else, he should at least learn the Fenghua accent first, right?
"A certain degree of micro-management refers to...control based on this kind of feeling?"

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and tried to change "hunger and fatigue" to "not hungry and alert".

The "emperor" gave orders to his own body.

Thus, the "army" set off!
The stomach's smooth muscle contracts automatically, maintaining a 50% full state. Fat β-oxidation is initiated, and the body switches from glycogen to fat for energy... "hunger" disappears.

A2A adenosine receptor activity is blocked, ENT1 transporters in astrocytes are activated in large quantities, and the concentration of adenosine in the basal forebrain is rapidly reduced to below 0.3 μmol/L... "Awakening" occurs.

Everything happened so naturally that Lu Mingfei was completely unaware of such detailed bodily activity. He simply realized that he was suddenly neither hungry nor sleepy!

A strange joy welled up in my heart. Was it the comfort of having my hunger "satisfied" or the delight of receiving positive feedback from my "regulation"?
Lu Mingfei only knew—

[Warning, electric shock countdown...]

Yes, that's it, exactly as expected.

"Let's start learning!"

As planned last night, Lu Mingfei began to focus on Chinese language.

He entered a state of "flow" with ease and no longer felt sleepy.

Time passed second by second.

[Through diligent study, your [Chinese] level has improved, gaining 1 proficiency points.]

【go through……】

It's 6:30 in the morning.

[Warning, it's time for breakfast...]

Amid the warning, Lu Mingfei stood up and walked out of the classroom, taking the opportunity to check his proficiency panel.

His Chinese proficiency increased by four points, reaching 88/100!

"Wouldn't that mean our Chinese language skills could be upgraded today?"

"Thinking about it carefully, apart from the vocabulary entries given by the English upgrade which weren't very useful, the other vocabulary entries are all quite useful..."

Lu Mingfei's expression was somewhat strange. Could it be that there was also a "discipline discrimination chain" in the schedule?
"I wonder which table the vocabulary entries will be assigned to after the Chinese language upgrade?"

……

The sky was still black. Besides Lu Mingfei, there was no one else on the Shilan Middle School campus. The security guards had changed shifts and were startled when they saw Lu Mingfei emerge, thinking he had been locked in a classroom and hadn't returned all night. Lu Mingfei had to explain himself to clear things up.

He arrived far too early; the breakfast shops outside the school weren't open yet, so he didn't buy any to take to the classroom as usual. Now he had to go outside the school again.

Lu Mingfei had actually considered buying bread the night before and putting it in his backpack, just like on the first day, so he wouldn't have to buy it again the next morning.

But after careful consideration, he still chose to buy it on the spot.

Bread is fine to eat once or twice occasionally, but it's not good to eat it too often.

For most Chinese people, there is a kind of tragic feeling called "not being able to eat a hot meal". Therefore, eating cold food often brings a sense of loneliness, especially when eating alone.

Lu Mingfei is not a person who likes loneliness. The word "loneliness" is always associated with loneliness, and loneliness is the most detestable thing.

It was as if under the bright moon, thousands of homes were filled with joy and happiness, while he alone stood at the summit, accompanied only by endless frost and sorrow.

Lost in thought, Lu Mingfei arrived at the breakfast shop. The proprietress was lifting the bamboo steamer, revealing plump, white buns steaming in the moisture. He took a deep breath and removed the "not hungry" option from his [Physical Micro-Management] settings.

An endless hunger gripped him! Lu Mingfei had never experienced such hunger before; he felt as if he could devour a whole cow alive!

【Micro-management of bodily signs】is indeed about controlling the body, but this is only a temporary additional state.

Lu Mingfei could roughly figure out the mechanism behind this state taking effect. Quantities might not be created or disappeared out of thin air; matter would only transform. The duration of his "micro-manipulation" control would determine how much would need to be replenished after the control was lifted.

"Boss, I want five pork buns, five preserved plum buns, and two shumai... no, double the amount!"

The proprietress was taken aback when she heard this. She wanted to persuade Lu Mingfei, but after seeing his eyes, which were so hungry they were green and even faintly glowing with gold, she changed her mind and decisively picked up a steamed bun.

She felt that if she hesitated any longer, Lu Mingfei would just grab it directly!
……

He bit into the soft dough, and the broth, carrying the tender, fatty pork, was eaten along with it. The steamed buns were still a little hot, but Lu Mingfei didn't care at all; he even felt a surge of emotion, almost to the point of tears…

I was so hungry. Being able to eat a hot meal when you're extremely hungry is one of the most comforting things in the world!

He swallowed the meat filling dough whole before it was fully chewed, then took another bite. It would be more accurate to say he was "stuffing" it in than "eating," and unsurprisingly...

Lu Mingfei choked.

"Um..."

He was about to get up to find something to eat when a nearly transparent hand reached out to him, holding a freshly opened bottle of Wahaha mineral water.

"Well!"

Lu Mingfei didn't have time to think too much. He grabbed the bottle of mineral water, took two gulps, and then barely managed to swallow the large clump of food stuck in his throat. His stomach, which had been cramping from hunger, finally stopped protesting. He gasped for breath and said...

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

The speaker was a girl with a slight Russian accent. She went to the table opposite Lu Mingfei's, placed a cushion there, and then sat down.

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat.

Sitting across from me was a petite girl with skin so pale it was almost cold. Her blonde hair, almost pure white, was braided and tied into a bun on top of her head, revealing her long, slender neck.

She was as plain as an ice sculpture, possessing stunning beauty yet expressionless, like an Arctic poppy blooming on a snowfield.

But Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat not because he saw a beautiful woman, but because of a strange sense of familiarity.

He felt a sense of familiarity with this girl.
Autumn, autumn beans in a sack! Throwing them like this, I'm afraid my duck can't take it!
