Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 14 Change

Chapter 14 Change
Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

At 3:30 a.m., it was pitch black.

The entrance to Dongjiang No.1 Middle School.

A figure appeared precisely on time, like a ghost.

"Hehe~"

The old man in the security room yawned, saw that it was a familiar face, and didn't say anything.

Release them directly.

Lin Ye nodded his thanks to the old man and walked straight toward the comprehensive training room.

For the past two weeks, he has been living a life that is almost inhuman.

During the day, he was the student who listened attentively in class and then plunged into the training hall after class.

At night, when the city falls asleep, he transforms into a lone hunter roaming the ruins, reaping the lives of mutated creatures in the steel jungle of the abandoned city of Dongjiang.

The Soul Forge mechanic fueled his near-obsessive passion for grinding monsters.

The fall of each mutated creature signifies a slight increase in its life essence.

A little makes a lot, and sand makes a tower.

He fought until 3 a.m. almost every day on the edge of the ruined city. His normal attacks, thick skin, and proficiency in staff techniques and stances increased wildly with Lin Ye's constant use.

Then, he would rush home as fast as he could, wash off the blood and dust, change into a clean school uniform, take a spare training uniform, and leave quietly, arriving at the school's training hall before everyone else.

All for the sake of securing an empty gravity chamber.

In this era where everyone is involved in martial arts, geniuses work far harder than we imagine.

The school has a limited number of gravity chambers, which are used during class time and after school in the evening.

These public facilities had already been snapped up by top students and exam-taking kings, so he could only squeeze in during the early morning hours.

Lin Ye pushed open the heavy alloy door of the training hall.

Sure enough, that familiar tall and slender figure was already there.

Upon seeing Lin Ye, Zhang Yuqing's face remained expressionless, but she subtly clenched her right fist.

Haha, I'm here a little earlier than you again today.

More than a week ago, Lin Ye suddenly changed his morning school arrival time to 3:30.

He entered the training room first, while Zhang Yuqing arrived more than ten minutes later.

This girl seems to be determined to compete with him.

They arrive earlier each day.

Or rather, it must have been earlier than Lin Ye.

Lin Ye began to worry that the girl might not go home that night and instead stay at school.

At this moment, Zhang Yuqing seemed to have just finished a set of high-intensity training and was standing in front of the gravity chamber adjusting her breathing. Her tight training clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Lin Ye discovered the pattern long ago: it seemed that no one would use this gravity chamber at any time.

This was a special permit granted by the school, intended solely for Zhang Yuqing's use.

The privileges of top students are always so simple and unpretentious.

Lin Ye nodded slightly to her as a greeting, and walked straight to the men's changing room next to him.

No extra communication.

The two haven't exchanged a single word in the past two weeks.

But they had all grown accustomed to each other's presence at this time and in this place.

The changing room was brightly lit.

Lin Ye took off his T-shirt, which was slightly damp with sweat, and prepared to change into his training clothes.

When he looked up at the full-length mirror in front of him, he paused slightly.

The person in the mirror is both familiar and strange.

His face, which had originally retained a hint of boyishness, now had distinct features and sharp lines, as if carved by a knife and axe.

Those eyes, which once always carried a hint of laziness, are now as calm as a deep pool, occasionally opening and closing to reveal a sharp, chilling glint.

His physique is no longer the thin, average-sized figure he used to be.

It's not an exaggeration, but the lines of each muscle are smooth and clear, evenly covering the skeleton, without a single bit of excess fat, full of harmonious and explosive beauty.

This is the result of two weeks of non-stop work, frantic exploitation and eating.

He's becoming more and more like a qualified martial artist.

Lin Ye changed his clothes and walked out of the dressing room.

The moment he appeared, Zhang Yuqing's breath caught in her throat almost imperceptibly for a second.

She saw Lin Ye calmly walk past her and head towards the public gravity chamber.

But the aura he exuded was more composed and dangerous than it had been two weeks ago. If Lin Ye two weeks ago was like a newly sharpened knife...

So now he is like a peerless, deadly weapon sheathed.

Its sharpness is completely concealed, yet it exudes a profound and imposing sense of weight and pressure, like a deep pool and a towering mountain.

Zhang Yuqing couldn't understand how a person's temperament could change so much in just two weeks.

In fact, she had secretly used her family's connections to check Lin Ye's information, and the result was that he was just an ordinary student from an average family with average grades.

How could an ordinary student undergo such a dramatic transformation in just two weeks?

While she was lost in thought, Lin Ye had already stepped into the gravity chamber.

hum-

The hatch is closed.

Zhang Yuqing subconsciously looked at the external monitoring panel of the gravity chamber.

Lin Ye stood there, raising his hand and slowly but firmly turning the gravity knob.

1.6...1.8...

Finally, the pointer came to a steady stop at the maximum value.

【2.0】!
Although she had already confirmed three days ago that Lin Ye had adjusted the gravity multiplier to 2x.

But Zhang Yuqing still felt it was somewhat unreal.

Just two weeks ago, he could only withstand 1.5 times the force of gravity!
Inside the gravity chamber.

A terrifying pressure enveloped Lin Ye's entire body like a mountain, and every breath felt like it was draining all the air from his lungs.

Lin Ye showed no sign of pain, but his bones and muscles cracked and popped as he adjusted over the past three days.

He was able to withstand twice the gravity.

Lin Ye assumed a stance and, under the pressure of twice the gravity, simultaneously began practicing the Basic Body Tempering Method and the Visualization Method.

With a thought, Lin Ye entered his consciousness and opened his attribute panel.
