There's something wrong with me

Chapter 45: Self-Created Martial Arts? 10% Overclocking

This day.

The small restaurant closed for the night.

After Zhang Feng locked the door, he checked his attributes.

Over the past two years, through some stat points and his own cultivation...

Zhang Feng saw that his physique had reached an astonishing 50.7!

This was the highest physique Zhang Feng had ever possessed in a character.

But his age had already reached 42.

Zhang Feng could clearly feel his bodily functions gradually weakening.

However.

During this time, Zhang Feng had finished reading all the medical books he could find, and had absorbed almost all the knowledge of this world.

Using his medical knowledge and training methods.

Zhang Feng was confident that he could extend his peak strength for a few more years.

Besides this.

Zhang Feng's understanding of meridians had deepened, and he also understood that meridians could not be opened arbitrarily.

For example, the 16 meridians of Iron Skin Qi were a specialized meridian pathway, forming a kind of balanced resonance.

If it was unbalanced, practicing it would not only harm the body, but even cause the collapse of certain bodily functions under overclocking.

Because Zhang Feng had tried to open other meridians in the past two years, and he could indeed open a few, but they could not form an 'effective connection' with the previous meridians.

And forcibly connecting them would also cause muscle tears.

Fortunately, not connecting them could still have a certain training effect.

It just couldn't form a stronger explosive enhancement effect like Iron Skin Qi and other martial arts.

But as long as he could open them, Zhang Feng had hope.

'I currently have 16 from Iron Skin Qi, 14 from Eight-Step Chasing Cicada, 42 from Great Subduing Demon Fist, a total of 72.

Plus the 10 extra ones I opened, that's 82 in total.'

At this moment, Zhang Feng lay on the restaurant table, summarizing with his eyes closed,

'The human body has a total of 720 meridians, and I've now opened about 11% of them.

But the effective overclocking only comes from the 72 meridians of Iron Skin Qi and the others.

You could also call it a 10% overclocking state.'

While pondering, Zhang Feng seemed to grasp something,

'But with only 10%, I've already reached a weight of 240 pounds, and I haven't reached my limit yet.

If it's 100% overclocked, wouldn't I weigh several tons?

And if my body size doesn't change, but my weight increases, wouldn't my entire body structure change?

Like turning into a high-quality alloy?'

Thinking this in his heart, Zhang Feng got off the table and walked back and forth in the room,

'But right now I don't know how to open the remaining meridians, there aren't many clues.

So, if I first increase my physique, change my body, and get some answers after overclocking.

Can I then deduce the partial principles of overclocking based on these partial answers?

And finally use the principles to open the relevant meridians?'

Zhang Feng thought about it and felt that he could try it under certain circumstances.

Like having another 'Infant World'.

At that time, choose more 'digestion and absorption' related entries, and finally see how heavy I can become while keeping my body size unchanged.

Or, there are other meridian martial arts in the enhancement, allowing me to learn from them.

Or, there are other training methods to deepen my strength, and then reverse-engineer my 'self-created overclocking technique'.

The more Zhang Feng thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, at least there were many paths to take.

The remaining thing was to stabilize and then gradually verify his guesses.

… …

A month later.

The second year and another month since coming to this world.

Zhang Feng ushered in the final enhancement.

[1: Cabbage X2]

[2: Asset Increase]

[3: Physique Increase 5%]

Zhang Feng first looked at 1, double the happiness.

[Effect: After use, Physique +1.1, and increase absorption capacity by 10 grams]

Zhang Feng glanced at it, then looked at 2.

[Effect: After selection, you will receive an item worth 100,000]

'This should be that thing, right?' After seeing this option, Zhang Feng suddenly thought of the previous 'Live and work in peace, open a mid-range restaurant'.

This option should be prepared for that task.

For example, if it hasn't been completed now, or if it goes bankrupt.

Then after 100,000 yuan arrives, you might be able to make a comeback.

It's considered a safety net.

Zhang Feng looked at this option and then chose double the happiness.

… …

Huff—

Continuous drizzle, another half year later.

Late at night.

The small restaurant's kitchen.

Zhang Feng was making lo mein.

Uncle Da was peeling garlic.

"Brother Zhang, is this enough to eat?" Uncle Da peeled several heads of garlic, more than forty cloves.

"That's too much." Zhang Feng brought the noodles up, "If you can't finish it, take the rest home, my restaurant doesn't keep overnight garlic."

"Haha, good!" Uncle Da handed Zhang Feng a pair of chopsticks, "There's a meeting tomorrow, all the heads of the territories have to go to the Qin Gang's grand hotel, what do you say?"

Every year, the heads of the territories on the river would hold a meeting, but the meeting location was rotated.

And in the nearly three years, Zhang Feng had attended a total of two meetings, both times sitting there like a Maitreya Buddha.

Not caring about anything, just listening happily.

But the people in the underworld also knew that Zhang Feng was not easy to provoke.

Because Mantis and Uncle Da were very respectful to Zhang Feng.

Although they didn't know why, they wouldn't bother to provoke Zhang Feng.

"Let's not talk about it yet."

At this moment, Zhang Feng looked at the clock on the wall, "Wait for Mantis, he should be here soon."

Before every meeting of all the heads of the territories on the river, Zhang Feng and the three would have a small gathering.

It had now become a habit.

"He's here, he's here!"

About a minute later, the back door opened.

Mantis shook off the raindrops on his body and looked at the two, "Sorry, the rain caused a traffic jam and I'm late, is there any food for me?"

"It's in the pot." Zhang Feng pointed to the stove, "Take as much as you want, there are chicken legs in the braised pot next to it."

"Okay!" Mantis happily took a bowl to get rice.

"Mantis boy, get me a chicken leg too." Uncle Da called out to him, then looked at Zhang Feng again, "Tomorrow's meeting is unusual."

"How so?" Zhang Feng looked at him, "What's the matter this time?"

"There are some things." Uncle Da said: "The boss of the He Xing Gang is dead, and his 'left and right protectors' are fighting fiercely now, tomorrow both of them will definitely come together."

"That's right, I've heard about it too." Mantis, holding two large bowls of rice, sat next to Zhang Feng and the other, "Brother Zhang, who do you support? The He Xing Gang's left protector, or the right protector?"

Saying that, Mantis handed Uncle Da a chicken leg, "The chicken leg is for you. But who to support, I'll listen to Brother Zhang."

"Listen to me, then don't care." Zhang Feng ate the noodles, "Their family matters, let them solve it themselves."

"This time we can't not care." Uncle Da also knew that Chef Zhang didn't like to interfere, but this time it was a big matter, "There's someone you're looking for in their gang."

"Who?" Zhang Feng stopped his chopsticks and looked at Uncle Da, "Flying Knife?"

"Yes." Uncle Da nodded, "I only heard on the way here that the He Xing Gang's left protector recently took in a very capable person, called Flying Knife.

I heard he used to be a professional killer."

"Is he going tomorrow?" Zhang Feng asked, "Does he know I want to kill him?"

Many people in the underworld now know about Zhang Feng looking for Flying Knife.

"He knows you want to kill him." Uncle Da looked at Zhang Feng with a smile, "But he's still preparing to go with the left protector.

Because the left protector values him very much and wants to protect him.

Just seeing that the left protector knows you're looking for him, and the left protector has been hiding him, you know what the left protector means.

So tomorrow's meeting, the left protector will definitely act as a peacemaker.

Although the He Xing Gang is now split, he can still afford it.

Of course, being a peacemaker is one thing, and he also wants to win you over, to get you to stand on his side and help him rise to power."

"That's easy." Mantis ate the chicken leg, his mouth full of oil, "Let him hand over Flying Knife in exchange for our three's support."

"Difficult." Uncle Da shook his head, "The left protector is more protective of his own, it's impossible to get him to get rid of his capable subordinates. On the contrary, as long as we say that, it will also invite his hatred, thinking that we have a conspiracy with the right protector."

"Then what do we do?" Mantis looked at Zhang Feng, "Just demand the person directly?"

"Let's see, the He Xing Gang's power is still relatively large." Uncle Da pondered and said: "Or, let's see how he acts as a peacemaker first? Listen to his conditions?"

"It's still that sentence, I don't care who becomes the head of the territories." Zhang Feng continued to eat the noodles, "But if he continues to hide this person, it'll be really hard for me to find him.

But as long as he dares to come tomorrow.

His life, I've decided to take it, no one can mediate."
